There’s a lot to be learned on TikTok. From innovative recipes to dance routines and homeware hacks, the app is essentially a one-stop shop for tutorials and how-tos, no matter the subject. In fact, learning is such a large part of the platform’s ethos the hashtag #LearnOnTikTok currently has over 200 billion views.
As a social media editor, this week, I decided to delve into the world of TikTok tutorials and see what I could learn about clothes. As luck would have it, clothing hacks are quite the trending topic on the app, and it seems like every influencer (and their dog) has an idea to share. There are those who have found umpteen ways to wear a silk scarf as a shirt and others who are using kirby grips to alter the waist size of skirts. Shoelaces, I’ve discovered, have also become a ubiquitous essential, being used to turn tank tops into halter-necks and oversize T-shirts into cropped tops. But which of these #hacks actually gets an editor’s seal of approval? I tested a few to find out. Keep scrolling to see which hacks worked IRL and which ones should be left online.
