You’ve been wearing your dressing gown all wrong! People left stunned after discovering the ‘correct’ way to tie a robe

As frigid temperatures sweep across Britain, many Brits will be looking for ways to block out the cold and stay cozy.

One technique to keep the heat in at home is to put on a comfortable dressing gown.

But millions of Britons may be connecting them incorrectly.

We go to TikTok, the British creator, Levi-Marjashared the ‘correct’ way to tie the bathrobe, which guaranteed a draught-free evening.

She captioned the clip: “I was one year old today when I discovered how to properly tie my robe. Who else knew this?’

“Now that I’ve done it this way, I’m never going back. My robe has never felt so good,” she added.

While most of us rely on weaving a robe’s belt around the back and through the loops on either side of the body, Levi offered a new method of fastening a robe.

Revealing the clever trick, Levi demonstrated how to tie her own robe by taking the long string and threading it through the two front loops.

One technique for keeping the heat in at home is to put on a comfortable robe, although the downside to this heat retention method can be the frustrating tendency for ties to loosen.

Avoiding putting the belt around her back, Levi then pulled the two ends together as you normally would, tucking in both sides of the dress to secure it.

She then finished it off by tying both ends together in a normal fashion, showing off the finished look with a thumbs up.

The neat trick is to prevent the cloak from ‘bursting open’ when you use the usual technique of wrapping the belt around the back and then tying it in the front.

The video has proven popular on TikTok, racking up a whopping 3.3 million views and 69,700 likes on the app.

Many viewers were delighted to discover the hack, with one commenting that it would solve the back pain felt from sitting against the belt.

One wrote: ‘Aww, I’ve been in pain while leaning on my belt on the couch and this was the point of looking for it last year.’

A second agreed, adding: ‘wow, such a great idea!! I have sensory issues and hate the part around my back, especially when I’m lying down or leaning back, I love this, thank you girl.’

A third said: ‘This is actually really helpful as it’s so annoying having to keep tying my robe as it keeps coming undone. I should definitely try it.’

More agreed it was the perfect way to secure a loose dress, writing: ‘I LOVE THIS!!! To anyone who doesn’t get it…my robe/housecoat NEVER STAYS TIED! I’m sure if I do this it won’t be a problem! I understand what you’re trying to do, sister!’

While many were impressed with the robe trick, others were divided over the hack, claiming it only created more complications.

One wrote: ‘This hurt my brain because you have to take the strap out every time… It’s easier the normal way.’

Another pointed out that it can be difficult to quickly let go of the new method. They wrote: ‘And then panicking when you go to bed half asleep trying to get out of your robe… no, I’ll stick to tying it the normal way.’

A second feared it would be ‘too difficult to access in an emergency’.

“That’s one way to put pressure on the loops and pull them off,” another viewer complained.

One mused: ‘The only time I wear my dressing gown is when I’ve had a good night and I certainly don’t do that if I suddenly have to go to the toilet.’

Others went so far as to say they were “offended” by the hack. They said, ‘Well, this offended me. I’m not sure why, I think it’s because I don’t know what the best thing to do right now is.’
