LISA AZCONA: Getting pants to fit perfectly is always a struggle. We've all tried on pants that either constantly slide down, gape in the back, or are way too long at the ends. Luckily, I have three hacks that'll help you tailor your loose and baggy pants without any sewing at all, especially if you're looking for a more fitted look.

What's up, guys? It's Lisa Azcona from "In the Know" by Yahoo, and this is "Pretty Beautiful." Let's face it-- I've tried learning how to sew my entire life, and it's still not a skill that comes naturally to me. So these tricks save me every single time.

First up, we have this button pin that I bought on Amazon. All you have to do is screw it onto the waistband of your pants, secure it, and then button your pants as you normally would. You will literally adjust the size of your pants in seconds, and it looks great too.

Next up, we have an entirely different hack for trousers. Some trousers come with a hook and eye closure instead of a button. So if you're looking to make your trousers, a little bit more fitted, try using a safety pin. All you have to do is secure the safety pin on your waistband in a vertical position, and that's it. It'll act as a DIY solution for your new custom fit pants.

Lastly, if the issue you're encountering is not so much about how your pants fit you around your waist, but more about the length of your pants, here's how you can fix it. Grab two hair ties and put your feet through them. Once the hair ties are on top of the pants around your ankles, pull the extra fabric up to your liking, and that's pretty much it.

All you have to do is make sure that both ends of your pants look symmetrical. Aren't these hacks amazing? They're incredibly inexpensive. They're easy to follow. And you'll get more uses out of your wardrobe that you thought you'd never use again. I hope these tips were helpful. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you guys again next time.
