And while blousing your boots may serve the purpose of keeping your slacks from flapping in the wind, loose fabric from catching while jumping out of an aircraft, or just keeping dirt from finding its way between your toes, the act of securing the bottoms of your trousers can be hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, the internet, in all its vastness, has you covered. There\u2019s nothing troops love more than a good old fashioned life hack. So here are a few tips to have you blousing your boots like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>1. The sock roll method<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is perhaps the simplest solution, as it requires no extraneous material. You simply fold your pants into the sock and roll them back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>2. The tie and foldover method<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@candidemayumbu\/video\/7043032919253863726\" data-video-id=\"7043032919253863726\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" > <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@candidemayumbu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@candidemayumbu\">@candidemayumbu<\/a> <a title=\"militarytiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/militarytiktok\">#militarytiktok<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Working Hard - Lil Bucket\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Working-Hard-6769521388131731458\">\u266c Working Hard &#8211; Lil Bucket<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An elaborate hack, you\u2019ll need ties, time and tenacity to blouse your boots this way. However, the reward is in the work here as it\u2019s likely through the use of this method that you\u2019ll never get any sand in your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>3. The bungee tuck method<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have them at your disposal, blousing bungee chords will certainly get the job done. And as the poster notes, you won\u2019t have any of that pesky slouching if you take the time to pull down your pants and hike those trousers tails a little higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>4. The secret seamstress method<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a wizard with a sewing kit, you can take you tuck to the next level by stitching blousing straps right into the seams of your pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy blousing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just remember that once you get out of the military, it\u2019s not cool to tuck your trousers anymore. Let those flaps fly free in the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_soE2uK8Lck?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"The Best High Speed Boot Blousing\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5cubXA4gvCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"How To blouse your boots like a pro\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SKPToUa0YTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"How To: EZ Blousing Straps\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four ways to keeps the ends of your pants in line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":101475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-post-observation-post","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":72,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,72,12,25,13,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3272],"class_list":["post-60187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-military-culture","category-news","category-newsletters","category-off-duty","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"LTJ5XAVEFNFILER4DKSYBLJKKI","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2022\/02\/17\/expert-level-hacks-for-blousing-your-boots\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"observation-post","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
