No matter how old you are or where you are from, we all want to create lasting impressions in front of others. And as they say, the first thing a person observes about others is how he dresses.

Another person will remember you for a lifetime if you show up in a way that he/she can’t take their eyes out of you. And every once in a while, dressing up as a star in a casual event or on a date night won’t harm your personality; if anything, it will create a lasting impression.

So why show up as a regular you when you can be extraordinary. But most people think that being extraordinary takes effort. But apart from this contrary belief becoming extraordinary won’t cost anything. You don’t have to buy fancy clothes to become great. Might you doubt us?

Here in this blog, I will show you ways that can make your wardrobe more likable and captivating. To be specific, here I will show how to tie a shirt.

So without any further ado, let’s dive deep into how to tie a knot in a shirt.

Ways To Tie Or Knot A Shirt

Making your regular outfit captivating enough only requires a little too little effort. So if you are a woman who struggles when it comes to going out or someone who sits on piles of cloth but still has nothing to wear, then I understand you.

What if I say you don’t have to worry yourself or spend a penny to look gorgeous. Yes, you heard it right; you can make your plain shirt appealing by simply tying a knot. Yes, there are ways to knot the front top to make it amazing.

Here in this section, I will highlight cute ways to tie a t-shirt.

1. The first thing you need to do is hold a top from its edge. It is suggested to go with a loose top for knots; however, you can also use fitted tops for the same.

2. The second step is to grab the cloth and pull it away from your body in a manner to form a knot.

3. Next, you have to tie a knot by creating a loop around your finger.

4. Further, you have to pull out the excess cloth and make a knot. You can keep knots either in the center or on the sides according to your convenience.

5. Lastly, adjust the knot if needed.

Tying a knot is as simple as taking a bite from a cake but still, some people find it daunting. The reason for the same is they don’t get the look they are looking for. The only answer here is practice. If you practice enough, you can tuck a knot without any difficulty. Another way to fold a knot on top is using a rubber band.

1. The first step is to grab the bottom part of the t-shirt or shirt.

2. The next step is to use a rubber band or hair band by tying it around the grabbing part of the fabric.

3. The third step is to tie a knot, basically a bun knot, the same kind we do with our hair.

4. The final step is to hide the rubber band with the top until it feels comfortable.

Further, if you are going with a back knot, then all you have to do is

1. Fold the shirt up to the length which seems comfortable to you. For such tucks, always go with long t-shirts or shirts.

2. The next step is to collect all the extra cloth in the back.

3. Further, you have to start twisting the extra cloth or fabric you have collected in the back to create a spiral.

4. You have to spiral the cloth to the side edges, then the next step is to pull the end piece in the middle.

5. Then you have to tie the knot. If the end piece is showing, you can hide it under the knot.

If you are comfortable wearing the crop top, you can use this method.

However, this will reveal more skin. The steps for attaining the super cropped front knot are:-

1. For this look, you have to fold the t-shirt slightly higher from the back.

2. You gather all the extra cloth in front and then start spiraling it.

3. After spiraling, tie the knot and pull the end piece into the middle. Keep in mind that the knot should be above the torso to give you the crop top look.

Moreover, if you are opting for something fancy or a halter look, you can give this look a try. All you need is a long sleeve t-shirt.

1. The first step is to wrap the shirt around the chest to form a halter.

2. The next step is to button up the shirt until it is snug.

3. Next, you have to take both the sleeves behind the neck and tie a sturdy knot.

4. If the collar is showing, then you can hide it, or else you can leave it that way too.

These are just some of the ways to fancy out your regular clothes without investing a penny.

All it needs is a will and some minor tweaks. If you are creative enough, then we know for sure you can find multiple ways of wearing your same shirt again and again. And the best part is if you do minor tweaks with the same clothes, people forget about the part you have worn multiple times.

Conclusion

That’s all! Now you know all about the ways to make your regular shirt look stunning. Who would have thought just simple activities like tying or knotting could take your look to the next level.

Here I have mentioned just some ways to tie a knot in a shirt, and you can find plenty more on the internet. But the best look is one in which you feel comfortable and confident.
