Steps

Method 1 of 5: Cover your hickey

1. 

   Hide your hickey with a shirt. Wearing a shirt or sweater is probably the easiest way to hide your hickey. Whether you are male or female, there are several options available to you:
   • Turtleneck sweater.
   • Long-sleeved polo shirt.
   • A jacket or sweater with a collar that hides the neck. Make sure these are the clothes you wear normally, otherwise your friends will become more curious about your neck and recognize the hickey.
   • Don't wear turtlenecks in the midsummer. This will draw more attention to your neck. Girls can wear armpits with high collars since it still looks fashionable.
   • Wear a shirt style that draws attention away from the neck. Try on a shirt with a funny logo, plaid, or weird zipper. The more colorful your shirt is, the less people will notice the neck.

2. 

   
   
   Hide your hickey with accessories. Using the accessory correctly will help you hide your hickey if the t-shirt doesn't work. Here are a few accessories to try:
   • Shawls are the most popular accessory to hide a hickey. Just make sure you get it in the right season and even if you're indoors, it doesn't make you bizarre. You may not want to use this method if the scarf is something you have never used.
   • If you love the Preppy School Fashions, you can tie a t-shirt over your shoulders, but only use this if it's the style you used to wear.
   • If you run out of options, you can put a bandage on the hickey and make up a story. You could say that you were bitten by an insect, or if you are female, it is a hair curler, if you have a cat, it is a cat scratching. But remember that making up a story will make people pay more attention to you.
   • If you are female or male with long hair, hair is clearly an advantage for effective hiccups. Just make sure the hair is covered in place.
   • Avoid wearing jewelry that draws attention to the neck. Girls, instead of necklaces or earrings, can wear a cool ring or bracelet. Boys should not wear a dogtag, but a watch.
