SHOPPING in person has its perks \u2013 you can see the clothes in the flesh, feel the materials, and often notice things you\u2019d pass by online.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But one thing that\u2019s certainly not a plus is waiting in a half-an-hour long queue for the changing rooms to try a garment on.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

So one smart thrifting pro has compiled a list of handy tips to tell whether a pair of jeans will fit you without having to try them on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second-hand clothing reseller, who uses the alias @PickedByPickles on social media, is a charity shop aficionado and regularly posts videos of her jaw-dropping finds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a recent clip, she detailed the fab hacks she\u2019s learned to help her instantly tell whether a pair of jeans is the right size while she\u2019s rummaging through a store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first trick,\u201d the thrifting whizz told viewers, \u201cis putting the denim right on your belly button and wrapping it around your waist until it touches your spine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next<\/span> unlikely method is to see whether your forearm can fit in the waistband of the item.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stick your elbow in one side of the waistband, and see if your hand can squeeze in the other side \u2013 if so, the jeans are the right size.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her final suggestion is what\u2019s known as the \u201cneck trick\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To do it, take the jeans by the waistband and wrap them around your neck, seeing if both sides come together<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the denim touches, they will fit perfect,\u201d the savvy shopper says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tips might seem a long-shot, but the influencer confirms that after trying on a pair of shorts that met all three criteria, she was astonished to find \u201cthey actually fit me perfect\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her handy clip quickly amassed a jaw-dropping 837k views, with Instagram users flocking to the comments to share their opinions on the nifty hacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have thick thighs and a juicy [bum],\u201d one commented, \u201cand I\u2019ve done the neck trick for years. It never fails me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a size 12-16 in jeans depending on the brand, and these tricks work 100% of the time,\u201d another advocate reckoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But some users weren\u2019t quite as sure, with one writing: \u201cI have a super small waist and much bigger hips\/butt\/thighs. It rarely works for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve tried the wrapping around neck trick, but I\u2019m a bigger gal \u2013 definitely plus size.. it didn\u2019t work,\u201d another confessed. \u201cHOWEVER the from belly button to spine I\u2019m going to HAVE to try because that seems more accurate!!\u201d<\/p>\n
