Making your pants look just that tad bit more stylish.
We are aware of the various cuttings, lengths, and styles pants come in. However, the way we style them can make or break our look. This simple guide will help you better understand the do’s and don’ts when it comes to cuffing your pants and how to do it right.
Read on to learn more!
1. The Simple Roll
As the name suggests, it’s pretty simple to do. Known for its versatility, this style goes well with almost any shoe and can be done with most pant fabrics.
Step 1: Take the ends of your pant and create one fold up roughly two inches.
Step 2: Pat out the ends to make a flat cuff.
Step 3: Take the top of the cuff and fold it inwards towards the pant cuff’s back.
Step 4: Press down on it once again to create a nice, flat cuff.
2. The Pinroll
The Pinroll is not for all types of shoes and is the most complex of the three cuffs. However, when done right, it brings the focus to your shoes like no other. To pull off this look, opt for shoes that are more streamlined and narrow, like the Adidas Stan Smith.
Step 1: Take about one inch of fabric between your thumb and index finger on the instep side of your pants at the bottom, creating a smaller opening.
Step 2: Fold the fabric against your leg sideways, creating a diagonal line.
Step 3: Flatten it out before and with each fold and begin cuffing it upwards twice.
3. The Deep Cuff
A classic cuffing style, it is the easiest look to recreate. Ideal for any pair of pants or jeans that is too long and has not yet been altered. This fold works best with most boots, old-school high-tops, and high-cut shoes in general.
Step 1: Take the ends of your pants and fold upwards creating a large cuff about four to five inches high.
Step 2: Flatten the cuff. Go ahead and use an iron for a crisp and clean finish.
Step 3: If required, repeat step 2.
And there you have it! Three cuffing styles that will make any pair of jeans look sharper. What are other ways you like to cuff your pants and which is your favourite style?
