Cuff options
Such a relevant element as denim cuffs has become an absolute trend of the last seasons. There are many ways and options of how to roll up jeans in an original way. Of course, roll-ups on men's and women's jeans will look different. Rolled-up men's jeans also look harmonious. However, the principle is identical. You only need to know how to properly roll up jeans of certain models.
There are several ways to make cuffs on jeans. Many may think that there is nothing easier. However, in addition to the classic options, there are cuff patterns that suit a specific style of jeans. For example, women's skinnies should not be cuffed more than twice. They go well with cuffs no longer than 2 cm. A single-layer cuff will look good. If you overdo it with their number, the cuffs will look like a donut and will look out of place. Straight denim models are also traditionally cuffed once, which creates a fairly wide, even fold.
Straight classic products look beautiful with single roll-ups up to 5 cm wide. It is important that the appearance can be spoiled by too narrow cuffs. At the same time, a strict classic model can become youthful thanks to an unusual version of the cuff - a two-level turn-up in which the rolled-up edge is folded halfway again. This gives the image a non-trivial look, and generally refreshes it. The wide-cut trousers are narrowed by cuffs of 1.5-2 cm.
Depending on the thickness, quantity and technique of the cuff, stylists distinguish several options for denim cuffs. Among them, there are simpler and more complex ones. However, the main thing is that they are appropriate for a specific occasion and a specific pair of jeans.
Ordinary
A regular or single cuff is ideally combined with almost any footwear. The width of such a cuff is standardly up to 3 cm. This version of the cuff will look good on both classic and skinny jeans. A small single cuff is not very noticeable, its volume is two phalanges of the fingers. Fans of cuffs often prefer to combine a small cuff with denim folds along the entire length.
Wide
A wide cuff is most often made with one turn-up. This is a traditional heritage of the history of jeans, in which the hem is 8-10 cm wide. This technique allows you to avoid excessive length of jeans, goes well with relax and even loose fit models. Rolled-up jeans are compatible with sneakers, massive work shoes, boots.
Thin
The thin turn-up is a small cuff of 1.5 cm. The turn-up with straightened main seams is perfect for girls who prefer skinny jeans, which visually lengthen their legs. They go well with flat shoes and heels.
Double
The average double turn-up is 3-4 cm wide. The average person's normal length of unshrunk jeans makes it possible to roll up the product in this way. This technique eliminates the need to cut the model, and will not create a monstrous volume and thickness on the leg. The medium cuff is considered universal. It suits models of any style and is ideally combined with any shoes, both flat and heeled, platform.
The double cuff can also be wide – the size of a palm or more. The owner of such a cuff seeks to emphasize the tradition of denim history. This solution can often be seen in combination with massive boots, on models of straight and wide jeans. There is also a double cuff with the edge of the leg exposed – a chain tie. The edge looks out of the cuff by 1 cm, which emphasizes the taste of the owner.
Tapered
A narrow cuff that allows you to narrow the edge of the leg is often also called a “pinroll”. It forms a vertical fold during the first turn-up and secures it during the next one. This technique allows you to make straight-cut jeans narrower. This turn-up is often found among fans of skinny chinos, as well as models with a medium density.
Careless
This type of cuff can be achieved by rolling up the leg three times to a height of 4 cm. It will look perfect on items made of light denim fabrics. This type of cuff is preferred in the warm season, when summer shoes prevail - moccasins, sneakers, sandals with flat soles.
A beautiful turn-up can transform the overall image. This technique is used by both men and women. The methods and techniques of turn-ups allow you to fantasize quite a bit with variations. This is an ideal way to add a twist to your appearance.
