#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.
