Denim is malleable, so we can adjust it to our size. Here’s a practical guide for stretching out jeans.

Three Quick Ways to Stretch out Jeans

For these methods, you probably have everything you need at home. Preparing for one method won’t take too long either.

Method #1: Get Your Jeans Wet and Stretch Them

Place your jeans on a towel after soaking them in lukewarm water. Stretch them evenly but not excessively. Air dry the jeans. Avoid using a dryer.

For hard denim, use more water and a bit of fabric softener. Rinse when done.

Method #2: Heat Your Jeans and Put Them On

Heat your jeans with a hairdryer or iron, then put them on while warm. Consider doing some light movements like lunges or squats. Let the jeans cool. They should fit better next time.

Method #3: Put Your Jeans on and Sit in a Bathtub Full of Water

Fill a tub with water, put on your jeans, and sit in for a while. Walk around with the jeans on and let them dry for better results.
