Stylist tips

To look stylish in rolled-up jeans, it makes sense to listen to the advice of designers. Experts recommend:

refuse to turn up wide trousers in the form of bell-bottoms. This model looks impressive only with the correct length to the middle of the heel;
jeans with cuffs are not combined with ballet flats and pointed-toe shoes. It’s better if it’s low shoes, moccasins, sneakers or sneakers;
the top should not be colorful, otherwise the image will be overloaded;
A large number of accessories should also be avoided. A stylish watch on your wrist, simple earrings or a thin bracelet look good. It is better to avoid beads, necklaces and large brooches and leave them for evening wear;
To determine how to do a tuck, you need to put on jeans and shoes and look in the mirror. This will make it more clear how wide the cuff should be;
Each type of hem is designed for a specific color of trousers. So, for dark ones, the best solution would be a wide cuff, and for light ones, a medium one. Narrow cuff fits blue and light blue denim trousers;
girls with appetizing shapes should avoid too voluminous hems, as visually they will add a couple of kilograms to the image and make their legs large and shapeless.

Wide-leg jeans are a versatile model that you can experiment with. Various hems are an excellent solution for such trousers, especially if you take this issue seriously and make the perfect hem.

Important Rules

When rolled up jeans are appropriate:

If you have a heavy build. Wide pants or jeans with low rolls are ideal.
If you are a fan of business style, then the best solution is narrow classic jeans in dark colors with narrow rolls.

Attention! It is not advisable to roll up pants for men of short stature and stocky build. This will highlight figure flaws.

A few words about the origin of the trend

As is the case with many other street fashion trends, the name of the first person to roll up his jeans is not recorded in history. One can only guess whether roll-ups were a way to avoid going to the tailor to have long trouser legs cut, whether our discoverer was one of the fashion guys who rolled up his jeans to show off his fashionable sneakers to others, or maybe it was a way to protect clothes from street dirt in rainy weather. Be that as it may, gateways have periodically appeared among the masses since the 70s of the last century. Young people continued to roll up their trouser legs in the 90s, but the peak of the popularity of roll-ups was ahead.

About 5-7 years ago, rolled up jeans became an indispensable attribute of fashionable images of Western fashion bloggers. Hollywood stars willingly rolled up their jeans, demonstrating their favor for the fashion trend. A couple of years later, trendy cuffs began to appear on the jeans of our fashionistas. However, in Russia the trend for rolled-up trouser legs was perceived ambiguously, and if with the roll-ups of women’s jeans everything was more or less “even,” then men’s bare ankles caused some indignation among adherents of the classics.

One way or another, this trend did not leave anyone indifferent. Today you won’t surprise anyone with gateways. But, having lost their “new” status, they have not lost their popularity, and this is how something fashionable turns into something stylish.

Fashionable ways to make a gateway

There are several ways to turn up jeans. Each of them suits a specific style and cut; your figure, height, shoes and, most importantly, your preferences are also taken into account.

Methods for turning up jeans:

Classic method. This is a regular cuff, folded in one step (width - 2-2.5 cm). To do this, bend the trouser leg once to a width of about 2 cm. The width may vary depending on the height of the jeans. This option goes best with classic jeans or chinos (soft trousers made of linen or thin denim). The method is perfect for classic-style boots or any wide shoes.
Wide gateway. It is performed in the same way as the previous option, with the difference that here the cuff is slightly wider, approximately 4–5 cm. This method is best used for fitted and tight pants. Pairs perfectly with chunky shoes.
Thin hem , 1-1.5 cm wide. This cuff is rotated in small increments of 3-4 layers. Perfect for skinny jeans, in harmony with light sneakers, flip-flops, light moccasins and sneakers.
Double turn-up (thick cuff). This is done by folding the edge of the trouser leg 2 times (width 2–3 cm). This rolling should be done carefully. The method is applicable for wide pants made of thick fabric. Suitable shoes - suede topsiders, derbies, sneakers, chukka boots, sneakers.
Narrowed tackle. This is done as follows: tuck the edge of the trouser leg towards the leg, and then roll it outward 2 times so as to secure the trouser leg. The cuff is tight and slightly tapered. The method is only suitable for those pants that have excess fabric. Pairs with boots, sneakers, flip-flops, sandals.
Double-layer tapered cuff. It is performed in the same way as the previous version, but the inner fold is done 2 times. The method is suitable for wide jeans made of rough fabric. Suitable for boots, sneakers, sandals, sneakers.
A casual tackle in casual style (casual wear). This method can be called the most informal of all. The trouser leg needs to be rolled up 4 times, the cuff width is approximately 3–4 cm. In this case, the rolls will be placed under the knees, and the trousers will look like shorts. Do not correct any folds that appear; the hem should have a slightly sloppy appearance. Suitable footwear: sneakers, moccasins, flip-flops.

What kind of jeans are rolled up and why?

Every person who keeps up with modern trends wants to roll up their jeans in a fashionable way. The style of the pants plays a big role in this. It is most popular to roll up the bottom of skinny or wide-leg jeans, as well as their classic straight fit.

In addition to them, you can tuck the following styles of jeans:

Boyfriends.
Chinos.
Skinny.
Products in denim style.
Khaki.

Stylists do not recommend tucking up your pants:

Linen.
Sports.
Classic.
Flare.

Sweatpants and bell-bottoms do not roll up.
The cuffs of trousers are rolled up most often because of fashion. Less often - for convenience. People with short stature no longer need to shorten the length of the product, because it can be adjusted by bending it upward. Also, tucking the bottom of your pants helps protect them from dirt and road dust.

Another important reason for tucking denim is to demonstrate an expensive and high-quality product from the fashion houses Armani, Colin's, Guess or Wrangler. Only luxury items can boast of their famous seam treatment.

There is no shame in showing them off by rolling up your pants. Demonstration of the cuff reveals not just seams, but a real elegant piping without a single crooked line or protruding thread.

To make wide pants narrower

If you want to taper your jeans and get a voluminous cuff, do this:

Tuck the trouser leg in one layer 1-1.5 cm inward.
Place the fold on the inside (along the seam), press it firmly with your hand.
Wrap the roll 2 more times until the fold is firmly fixed.

Attention! You shouldn't narrow pants that are too wide; such cuffs and folds will look too rough.

What do they go with?

Turned jeans are primarily casual, sporty, style or grunge:

Loose shirts made from natural fabrics, jackets with large cuffs, and stylish jackets are appropriate here.
Rolled up jeans with low 3⁄4 shirts and slip-ons on bare feet look interesting.
Pullovers, sweatshirts, cozy chunky knit sweaters – they all fit in here.
A very stylish option is wide jeans combined with a torn shirt.
Another fashionable look is classic blue jeans, a wide pullover and a hat with a small brim.

Ripped jeans will add a touch of flair to almost any look.

Reference ! The only place where tackles are inappropriate is in the office and official receptions and places where a strict dress code is prescribed.

Under sneakers

Sports shoes have long gone beyond active leisure and have easily become part of the everyday life of most people. When it comes to stylish and good models (for example, Reebok Classic Leather), the hems on the pants will only reveal their beauty. Pairing trendy sneakers with rolled cuffs is a streetwear style that allows you to stand out.

At the same time, sneakers can be either laconic and classic, or extravagant, with bright patterns and rough soles. You can combine any type of turn-up with such shoes - as long as the image is harmonious and creative.

How to tuck jeans fashionably under sneakers

In this case, you can wear long socks in interesting colors or choose short ones that do not stick out at the ankle. Jeans can be chosen in any style, with the exception of skinny ones. Products with a straight cut, high waist or with a torn effect look great.

If in the 70s. Rolling up jeans was not a big deal, but with the advent of 2021, fashionably turning up cuffs has become a real art. Such a minor detail can make an image creative and memorable.
