There are many ways to tie the bottom of your T-shirt to create a stylish look. You can tie a simple knot at the front, side, or back of your T-shirt to give it a fitted look. This works best with oversized T-shirts as you will have more fabric to work with. You can also try different types of knots such as the bunny ears knot, the pretzel knot, or the ruffled side knot. Additionally, you can use accessories like rubber bands, scarves, or hair ties to enhance the look.

Basic front knot
A basic front knot is a great way to transform an oversized T-shirt into a cute crop top. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Firstly, fold up your T-shirt at the back. This will create more fabric to work with at the front. Gather the leftover fabric at the front of the shirt. Now, you will twist this section until it forms a spiral. Then, wrap the spiral of fabric around itself until it creates a ball shape. Finally, pull the end piece of fabric through the hole in the middle of the ball.
If you prefer a smoother look, you can tuck the end piece that pokes through the knot back into the knot itself. This will create a more polished finish.
This knot works best with oversized T-shirts as you will have more fabric to work with. However, you can also achieve this look with any T-shirt that has a slight stretch to it.

Back knot
To create a back knot, you can use either the "bun" or "bunny ears" method. The "bun" method is a quick and easy way to tie your shirt. First, make an "O" shape with your thumb and index finger, then put your hand under your shirt against your lower back. Pull some fabric through the "O" until the shirt is snug, then tighten your thumb against the fabric. Next, wrap the tail of fabric around your index and middle fingers to form a loop, and pull the tail through the loop. Finally, tug on the tail to tighten the knot.
If you prefer the "bunny ears" method, gather two sections of your shirt along the bottom hemline, one section in each hand, and cross the left "bunny ear" over the right one. Pull the left "ear" under and up through the gap, then pull on both "ears" to tighten the knot.
You can also create a back knot by twisting and wrapping the fabric. First, fold up your T-shirt in the front. Then, grab a section of the shirt's fabric in the back and twist it into a spiral. Wrap the spiral around itself until you create a ball, then pull the end piece through the hole.
