Replace the Drawstring

Replace the Drawstring

Replace a drawstring in minutes for a fresh take.

Replacing a Drawstring takes only a few minutes and can drastically change the look of your new capri's. Take a cue from Jessica and go for a bold color that will contrast with the neutral khaki of your new capri's.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to replace your drawstring.

Once you have Jessica's look, try pairing it up with a fitted tank made from a t-shirt.
