The Tiny Strings You Should Be Cutting Off Your Dresses

Ever noticed those little thin strings sewn into the sides of your dresses and jumpsuits? You might be using them to hold a belt or tie—but they're not actually made for that.

These loops are called hanger straps, and they’re added to keep garments in place while they’re hanging in stores. But once the piece is in your wardrobe, they’ve done their job.

Wardrobe tip: grab your scissors and snip them off! Keeping them attached can make your outfit look messy, especially if they peek out while you're wearing it.

Here’s a quick video explaining it all ⬇️

Style smarter, not harder—and if you ever need help making the most out of your wardrobe, I’ve got you 🧡
