Fashion is not just about what you wear; it's about how you wear it. For the vertically gifted, finding the perfect fit is only half the battle. The real magic happens when you style your clothes to reflect your unique personality. Today, we're discussing how to cuff jeans. It’s a simple yet transformative technique that can elevate your look, whether you're a tall man standing proud at 6'3" or a tall woman confidently coming in at 5'11".
The Basics of Cuffing Jeans
Cuffing jeans is more than just rolling up your denim; it's a fashion statement. It's about creating a look that's as unique as you are. But before we get into the specifics, let's cover some general tips:
- Choose the Right Jeans: Not all jeans cuff the same way. The weight and fit of the denim play a crucial role.Â
- Consider the Occasion: Cuffing can be casual or sophisticated, depending on how you do it.Â
- Balance Your Outfit: Your cuffed jeans should complement, not compete with, the rest of your attire.
Cuffing Techniques for Different Types of Jeans
1. How to Cuff Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are a staple in any wardrobe. For a sleek look:
- Fold: Make a small fold, about half an inch to an inch max.
- Roll: Roll up to two times, keeping it tight and neat.
- Pair with: Georgia High Rise Skinny Tall Women's Jean in Monaco Faded matched with our Women's Tall Scoop V-Neck Tee in Dark Navy.
2. How to Cuff Straight-Leg Jeans or Tapered Jeans
Straight-leg and tapered jeans offer a classic look that is always a hit and never a miss.
- Fold: Start with a one-inch fold.
- Roll: Roll once or twice for a thicker cuff.
- Pair with: Our Polar Fleece Sweater Full Zip Vest for Tall Men in Regal Blue, our Slub Long Sleeve Scoop Tall Men's Tee in Ecru and these Carman Tapered Jeans for Tall Men in Vintage Faded Blue.
3. How to Cuff Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans are all about that flare, but sometimes, you need a cuff to tame the fit and reduce the length when you’re not rocking them with actual boots.
- Single Cuff: A single, wider cuff works best with bootcut jeans.
- Length: Keep the cuff between one to two inches.
- Pair with: Women's Britney Tall Bootcut Jeans in Light Grey Wash and a High Crewneck Sleeveless Bodysuit for Tall Women in Black.
4. How to Cuff Baggy Jeans
Baggy jeans are back in style, offering a relaxed and street-smart look. Here’s how to cuff them right:
- Roll Up: Aim for a chunky, effortless roll. Don't worry about perfection.
- Volume: The cuff should be broader to match the jeans' volume.
- Pair with: The Mason Semi-Relaxed Jeans for Tall Men in Blue Steel coupled with a Nelson Flannel Shirt for Tall Men in Hunter Green.
Cuffing Jeans with Boots
Boots and cuffed jeans are a match made in heaven. Here's how to cuff jeans with boots and nail the look:
- Cuff Height: Ensure the cuff sits just above the boot.
- Roll Neatly: A tighter roll looks more polished with boots.
- Pair with: Try our Oskar Button-Up Shirt for Tall Men in Black and these Tapered Jeans for Tall Men in Blue-Steel with our Tall Men's Chelsea Boots.
