Cuffed Jeans: Rock that Cuff Right

Cuffed jeans? Fashionable?

That’s right. Cuffed jeans CAN, in fact, be fashionable. The key is starting with the right jean. Remember, a cuff can’t perform miracles. So if you start with an ugly jean and add a cuff, you will (surprisingly) end up with an ugly cuffed jean. On the other hand, if you have a great skinny, tapered, or even straight leg jean that already compliments your curves, try rolling it up once or twice. Go a little crazy; see what happens.

Now you should know, cuffing is truly an art. And as an art, it may take you years to master. Cuffing your jeans requires creativity and vision, because there isn’t just one way to cuff!

Your cuff (clearly) depends on your outfit. Feeling traditional? Stick with a smaller cuff (~1.5 inches). When you’re ready to mix it up a bit, try venturing out a little further to the land of the the high cuff (recommended for cuff experts, only).

Like most things, practice makes perfect. And when you are experimenting with new fashions, you may want to test your new style in front of those who know and love you for who you are on the inside. Who knows what trouble one bad cuffed jean decision may cause…

So to help you out with you cuffed-jean trials and tribulations, we suggest you take a look at some of the pretty people who are doing their part to bring fashion to the plebs. Aw, they are sooooo self-sacrificing, aren’t they?

Hi Jess!

Cuffs are suitable for most body types, including plus size. Keep in mind that they may make your legs look a little shorter. Since you’re tall, this shouldn’t be a problem!
