There are simple tricks you can use to arrange your clothes to your liking, and I want to present them to you in a multi-part series.
Hand on heart: how many times have you bought clothes that do not fit well? I can say a thing or two about that. If I like something, I buy it. And it doesn't matter if the supposed garment of my dreams is sold out in my size. I tell myself that I look better in a bigger or smaller size: wrong! I no longer want these skeletons in my wardrobe. In this series, I will not only tell you how to reawaken your forgotten garments in your wardrobe, but also how to wear clothes that no longer fit or are broken again. In part three, I will show you what to do if your zip keeps opening by itself.
Last week I widened a pair of trousers with a too-tight waist without needle and thread. Now it's the turn of my next skeleton in the wardrobe: a pair of trousers whose zip has put me in embarrassing situations several times.
There is a simple trick to prevent the zipper from unzipping itself: don't fold the zipper upwards, but downwards. This way, the teeth on the back of the slider engage with the hinge, keeping it ideally closed.
The hinge is then closed.
If this trick doesn't help, another one comes into play: stick a key ring in the slider puller and pull the hinge up. Now you can attach the ring to the trouser button and button your jeans as usual. The highlight: this method is foolproof and the trick remains completely hidden.

When I’m not exploring the depths of the sea as an open water diver, I enjoy plunging into the world of fashion. On the streets of Paris, Milan and New York is where I keep my eyes peeled for the latest trends. And I’ll show you how to take them from the catwalk to your everyday life.
