Rolling your jeans might seem like a 2-minute job, but poorly cuffed jeans can instantly make your outfit look sloppy. Here are 7 things to keep in mind the next time you plan on cuffing your jeans in the car en route your destination.
#1 If your jeans are skinny, the cuff should be nice and short. Only experiment with long cuffs if your jeans are cut straight.
#2 If you are on the shorter side, think twice before cuffing your jeans and if you do, stick to a slim cuff.
#3 The material of your jeans will always give you a hint about whether you should opt for a single-roll or a double-roll cuff. The thicker the fabric, the fewer times you should fold it while cuffing.
#4 A single roll involves simply folding the excess fabric once. Tucking the hem of the jeans into the folded portion is an optional flourish.
#5 A double roll involves employing the single roll, but rolling the fabric over twice.
#6 If you want a short, barely-there cuff—great for casual skinny jeans—forget the extra fabric and simply roll over the hem twice or thrice at the most.
#7 If you’re ever unsure about whether you’ve rolled your jeans up to the right length, sit down to check. Once cuffed, your jeans should skim your ankles without flashing your calves.
