SLIM Your Baggy Shorts (EVERY Step In 2 Minutes)

I got these shorts at Old Navy and I'm a huge fan of them. HOWEVER they are just a BIT too wide for my liking. Figured I would show you how to taper these since I plan on wearing them all the time this summer! Also, this technique works for swim trunks, basketball shorts, and chino shorts as well!

honestly man, sewing is something a lot of guys should learn. My dad showed me how to sew when I was about 6yrs old, he was Native American so it was just part of the culture, but it's come in handy so many times. For example those George brand t-shirts from Wal-Mart; I like the V-neck, the length and they're very soft & comfy but the body is wide and the short sleeve arms are kind of too open and flap in the wind lol.
A little tightening of the waist, and the arms...BOOM fitted T for chillin at home or playing with my daughter at the park at $5 dollars each, you can't beat that!!

I'm a woman (generally interested in tailoring clothes to look one's best), and I find your channel really interesting and helpful. Lots of tricks applicable to women's clothes too. Plus it is SO SATISFYING to see men's apparel transformed from something that is dumpy looking into something flattering. A great skill to learn and a way to look your best, for anyone!

😆This is a great tutorial. Maybe the first sewing tutorial with funnies. My hubby said what are you watching because I was 😆. I said a tutorial to help me take in my shorts. We are both 52 and I have watched a lot of sewing tutorials. Thank you!🙌🤩

I bought a sewing machine a few months back (still in the box) but I haven't had the courage to start tailoring my clothes, but after watching Your videos.... oh man!! I am rady!!!
Even my wife said: "I'll believe It when I see It"

[GavStaR]

Just shortened some pants into shorts and slimmed some down. Thanks again for your simple techniques. Again...best men's tailor channel on YouTube!

[BrandonAlexanderWalks]

Anyone that's on a weightloss journey, this content is absolute gold. Get a sewing machine and alter your clothes to fit you as you drop weight. Your favorite shirt/shorts/pants can still be your favorite if you learn to sew. As always thank you Stylish D!

[okAngelface]

No doubt. I've tried to explain that to my girl, who can't see the difference when I'm spending $60 vs. $20 for golf shorts.

[vrdrew]

So glad to see you back, Stylish D!

Just today I put some of my tailoring skills to good use. Shortened and hemmed some sleep pants a good 2 1/2". Notes: I'm in no reasonable sense obese or overweight. But why would a 32" waist pair of pants be 2"+ too long on a 6' man? Second note: Shortening and hemming pants is probably 3 out of ten on the sewing skillz scale. And who cares how long your sleep pants are?

I do.

Many, many thank for your channel. For your humor. And for letting us regular guys understand its OK to care about how our clothes look, and for giving us the skillz and the confidence to put those things right.

God bless you, my man. Rock On, Stylish D!

What's your tips on hemming after this? The inseam is shorter than the outseam, so when I tried to get horizontally on the old line, it came out looking weird. Measure ninety degrees to the inseam and draw a line there? Help!

[notinservice]

nice one, how about cargo or tactical shorts please, many thanks. k

[j.louisrodriguez]

That's why i always get my shorts with a 5 ' inch inseam... perfect fit for my legs....

Wide leg shorts are so comfy for the freedom and the breeze but the issue is people seeing up inside them through the leg openings when you're sitting down

[jzuc]

Even tho I’m a girl this helped me
So much to figure out how to tailor my shorts. I can’t find any other tutorials that are as good as urs!

[SpamMouse]

Top tip: For adjusting one's Hawaiian Shorts (and shirts) use plain white cotton to sew the seams then Sharpies to get the perfect color-pattern match. 🖊

[plloccy]

standard needle with a straight stitch didn’t work for my gym shorts— they got sucked into the bobbin case below and ripped the shorts

[yanikkunitsin]

I tried to shorten my shorts and then I'm subscribed

[johnnyprays]

Could you do a video on lengething shirt sleeeves?

[JohnGlow]

Hey SD, any hopes for tailoring mesh or knit material? I’m looking at a couple shirts that are knit and have small holes throughout them, and am unsure how to downsize them

[iirekm]

Wide pantlegs look ugly, but have their purpose: try doing squat or other leg exercises at gym, or picking something up without (unhealthy) bending your spine, when pantlegs are narrow and material isn't elastic. I personally prefer convenience over appearance.

[Dannyn]

Will this modification of the inside Sam help with the outside of the shorts looking too wide? (Hope that makes sense?j
