‘I’ve been doing it all wrong’
Mark Brown who boasts more than one million followers on his TikTok account @rightguysreview demonstrated the ‘proper’ way to tie a dressing gown belt in a now-viral clip. But the dad sparked a huge debate as he showed the ‘life hack’ first-hand.
In the video, which has surpassed a whopping 700,000 views since posting, Mark said:
For years and years, I got my dressing gown and put the straps like this and tied it. Apparently, I've been doing it wrong.
He starts the viral clip by showing the normal technique, which most people know best - where the belt is placed through all loops before simply tying it at the front.
After that Mark claims that we're supposed to tie it at the front after hooking it in the loops, instead of tying it around your waist.
He added:
You're meant to do this - put it through the loop at the front, put it through the other loop on the other side. Put it like that and tie it - done!
That's the proper way to do it, I can't believe I just found that out today.

The public is torn
The method involved looping the belt through the front loop and then the adjacent loop, pulling the belt to tighten, and then tying it at the front as normal.
While Mark seemed revolutionised by the new demonstration, many weren't sold on the unique technique.
Viewers sparked a debate in a comments section of the video as they were torn over the method.
One person wrote:
Mind is blown.
The second one added:
I'm baffled.
Meanwhile, a different user claimed:
Don't see any difference.
A second user penned:
But it's not really the right way is it lol.
Maybe there’s no right or wrong way of tying the belt of your bathrobe after all. But you ought to give Mark’s method a try.
