How To Properly Cuff Jeans





So, get this — there's a right way to cuff jeans.

You hear people say "rolled" jeans, but you don't really roll them. That would be tragic.

I picked this tip up from the manager of a local boutique. It's a great trick. Figured I'd share.

You're welcome. :)

Step 1: Fold the jeans up from the bottom into a pretty long cuff. You've seen people who've got these big, fat rolls near their ankles? Yeah, that's cuz they didn't go wide enough.

Step 2: Take that cuff and fold it in half. Pull it over a smidge farther than the edge so that you don't see the underlying cuff. By actually folding twice, you get enough stiffness to keep that cuff in place. Plus, the wider look is so on-trend.

Step 3: Do the other leg.

Easy peasy.
