We’ve all experienced the frustration of buying clothing just to exchange it the next day because it’s the wrong size.

Whether this was because you thought you were a small, but you’re actually a medium, or whether the fitting rooms were just too full, it remains frustrating. 

Luckily, there’s a hack that will help you avoid these long queues and exchanges.

WARNING: These financial mistakes are leaving you penniless

A recent video shared on social media teaches people a simple way to find their correct pants size.

By measuring the waist of the pants around your neck, you can see whether it will fit.

All you have to do is wrap the waist of the pants around your neck to ensure they fit perfectly. 

If the pants go around your neck and the points slightly touch, they’ll fit you.

If the waist doesn’t go all the way around, it will be too small; similarly, if they cross over too much, they will be too big.

Of course, this hack won’t work for everyone, but it might be worth a try to see if it’ll work for you.
