We’ve found the best solution to stopping your clothes slipping and riding up this summer, with the £15 sweat-proof ‘fashion glue’ keeping just about any item of clothing in place
With festivals, concerts and plenty of summer events coming up, ‘tis the season to pull out some of your best looks. However from slipping spaghetti straps and mini skirts riding up, to strapless tops slipping down and annoying necklines constantly moving, sometimes our favourite clothes can be a pain to wear.
That’s why we quite literally gasped when we spotted this simple – and genius – solution to all of our fashion woes. Clutch Glue is the secret weapon we’ll be carrying around in our handbags from now on, offering the quickest and most effective way to keep your clothes firmly in place no matter how much dancing you do.

Something so simple we can’t believe we’ve not come across it before, Clutch Glue is perfect for giving your outfits a little reinforcement, and can be used on everything from fabrics to accessories and even that rogue bit of fringe that won’t stay in place. You can use it to stop necklaces from slipping round, to keep your slingback heels from sliding off, socks from slipping inside your shoes and sleeveless tops from riding down.
You can also stop necklines from gaping, fix a drooping hemline or help keep your halterneck firmly in place. It’s sweat-resistant, so no matter how much dancing and time in the sun you’re planning on this summer it won’t rub off, and it washes straight out of your clothes with no staining or residue.
The Clutch Glue offers a great alternative to traditional fashion tape, which acts as double sided tape to stick clothes to your skin. If you do prefer this technique, a roll of Eylure Body Tape will set you back £6.50, whilst the Fearless Tape is £5.99.
However users can often find fashion tape ends up losing its stickiness as the day goes on, or can peel away from your skin when you start to sweat. The Clutch Glue, on the other hand, has received rave reviews for how long lasting and effective it is.
One said: “I put it on my feet to keep socks from slipping. This is the first time in so many years that I have worn those socks and not had them go into my shoe! And I was able to peel it off so easy with no problem! Im usually pretty allergic to everything so this is awesome.”
A second shopper praised: “I love the small size for my bag! It kept my romper in place all day and was easy to reactivate & reapply even after taking it on and off all day. Also started using it on jewerly so it doesn’t slide around. Forever staying in my bag.”
A third found it helpful during exercise, writing: “Fire product! I would sell a bigger tube though! I used it during my self defense class (my shorts always ride up) and it held up with all the sweat!”
One did find it less effective, saying: “lash glue is better. Bought this so I would have to use lash glue because it leaves gunk, but it isn’t strong.”
Meanwhile another mentioned: “I used the glue this past weekend in a run. I have thicker thighs so I always have issues with my shorts riding up during my runs. I put on the glue & my shorts didn’t move at all!! I do wish there was a way to get a roll on applicator because mine doesn’t squeeze out the best but overall the product itself is great!! I will definitely purchase again.”
You can pick up the Clutch Glue in a 15ml tube for £15, or a 30ml tube for £23.
