The Cuff

Fold the waistband down (towards the feet) about 5 inches or about 12-15 cm. This fold will later serve as a locking pocket.

Fold the leg section upwards

Take the end of the trouser leg, then fold it right at the knee. Align the end of the leg with the waist crease line that has been made previously.

Double Fold Again

Take the part of the pants that has been bent, then fold it into two parts again towards the waist. Now the pants look shorter and thicker.

Repeat on the Other Side

Do the same steps on the other leg of the pants. Make sure both sides have symmetrical fold sizes so that the results are neat.

Put it in a Waist Bag

This step is the main secret! Insert the tip of the leg that has been folded into the waistband fold that you made in step two. This will lock the fold so that it does not fall out in the bag.

Fold in (Final Touch)

Lift the pants from the middle, then fold inward. The end result is a compact, neat pair of pants that are ready to go into your carry-on or suitcase.

Additional Tips for Maximum Results

If you have tried the steps above and still fail or are not neat, here are some tips and tricks that you must master:

Use Quality Fabric Pants: This technique works very well on pants made of Merino or technical fabrics that have high resistance to tangling. Smooth the Air: When folding, make sure you press the surface a little to remove the air trapped between the folds for a thinner result.

Well, by practicing folding pants, then you don't have to worry about the iron at your destination. Happy trying and happy vacation with more concise!
