#StyleHack: A Smart Trick to Keep Loose Zippers Up

Problem: Your favorite pair of pants has a “lazy” zipper that keeps falling down. Best-case scenario? People think you carelessly forgot to zip your pants. Worst-case scenario? Your open fly is interpreted as some sort of weird come-on. To solve your peeping pants problem, follow these steps.

1. Attach a small key ring to your zipper.

2. Put your pants on, and zip up the lazy zipper, looping the ring around the button.

​3. Fasten the button, concealing the ring.

See the photos below for a visual, scroll down to check out our new pants picks (if you’ve really had it with your loose zipper and want an excuse to shop), and don’t forget to pin the image for future reference.
