So you have a hoodie string. Do you remove it? Leave it? Short it? Aaron Marino of alpha m. addresses this very serious style dilemma. A hoodie string is a fact of hoodie. Tying it is great if you are cold or the Unibomber. Typically you never tie it.
Three options are available. Remove it is one- cut and yank! The interesting thing is that if you remove, you can’t get a string back through the hood. You could leave it if the strings aren’t long. Or you could shorten by cutting one side- pull and adjust. It’s all up to you.
