Who loves cuffed jeans? I love cuffed jeans! My inspiration board...

On my current 90s revival trip, I have discovered a love for the cuffed jeans look. I love my jeans, and I reckon cuffing them adds some visual interest and quirkiness to an outfit. What do you gals think?

I thought I'd put together a "Cuffed Jeans Outfit Inspiration Board" for some ideas on how to wear them...can't wait to try some of them out, especially the cuffed jeans/blazer/tee/heels look.

What do you think of this particular trend? Fan/not a fan? Have you seen many people sporting it this summer? It's winter here right now...I'm trying to think of ways to adapt it for the colder weather...potentially with boots and cardis!

Here's my inspiration baord:

my favorites were:
the third pic in the top row... her jeans were super tapered and the nude shoes didn't distract from the cuffing. Plus I think I was drawn to the smart look of the dark was jeans in that one.
also the last outfit in the bottom row.. the one with the cardi and the gladiator sandals... that was a super adorable look.
For me the one with the long tunic and flats didn't work as well.

Total fan of this look. My favorite way to wear it right now is cuffed, belted boyfriend jeans (with a teeny bit of ankle showing),oxfords, and a slightly over-sized half tucked white button down shirt.

I like the same ones Kim does. The dark jeans and the nude heels make for a sleek look and gladiators look perfect with the cuffs in that picture. Thanks for giving me some ideas Tara:)

I think it depends on where you're cuffing to. I'm guessing the general consensus will be that anywhere between ankle and just under the knee (capri pants length) will be unflattering unless they are skinny fit and worn with a heel x

I love this look too Tara! I have bee playing around with it a lot this summer and am excited about carrying it into the fall somehow. I wore pegged jeans as a kid in the 80's and loved how it felt even then.

I like most of the looks in the photos and I love how wearing it different ways conveys different attitudes: sleek, sporty, tomboy.

Your idea of an inspiration collage inspired me to start one too!

I like the casual look, but it's too hot here to wear it right now. So I haven't played around with it much.

I am generally not a fan of cuffed jeans. Very tricky on the leg line.

I'm a fan. I think it's because of the way they show off a great pair of ankles.

I've been a fan of rolling up my jeans for a couple of years now. (I've have seen them called "turn-ups" on British tv shows...?). First, out of necessity since I'm short...but then it grew on me. I'm not loving the feeling of a lot of fabric bunched up around my ankles lately.

Not wild about cutting my leg off with a thick horizontal block.

That's just how I feel, Maya. It's very tricky.

I love this look when done correctly, many of those photo outfits look adorable:)

Angie, I don't mind cuffs on clams somehow, as long as it is a very narrow cuff and not a lot of bunching, like the bottom left and top right here:

Is that the way to do it?

Taylor, with your magical heel wearing abilities, you can pull off a lot of things the rest of us mortals can't

High five Maya on two counts. That's precisely what I see too:

1. Yes, the only item I cuff are my clams. Love to do that when I wear them with heels, flats or boots.

2. Taylor's magical high heel wearing ability allows her to wear cuffed ankle length pants no problem :0)

It's very hard to look good in cuffed jeans with flats. Most people don't. Occasionally someone with a long leg line pulls it off.

I like the look very much. I have a pair of lightweigth jeans that I wear cuffed and with flats and a cute button-down. It's one of my favourite casual looks for going to the playground and I think (hope!) I can pull it off. But then I'm 5'11 with a short torso and long legs.

I love the look of a casual cuffed boyfriend jean with a fun heel. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm a fan!

crasdy

I think it's a really cute and versatile look.

I'm not that concerned with leg line, however.
