So maybe that makes them look different to me than they do to others, lol? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1877929 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 09:09:54 +0000 Aurore 1877929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, when looking at the two new looks, the first things that catch my eye are not the trousers, but that gorgeous scarf (pashmina?) and blouse! ;)<br />I think&nbsp;neither the rolled hem nor the full-length look "stumpifying". IMO the first one look more casual and the second more elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1877921 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 08:30:58 +0000 Zaeobi 1877921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm not sure but I actually feel like a dark underside makes rolled jeans look a little strange, if that makes sense? I guess a lighter underside looks intentional, but mine are black underneath so it looks a little weird with the blue outerside? I'll try it &amp; report back, but I only have the one pair of real jeans - so I think if I crop them now, it might make them less versatile. It's not usually cold enough here to warrant buying lots of jeans (I don't have a very casual style, &amp; I find the stiff denim/ pockets/ buttons/ zips on jeans to be uncomfortable in warmer weather), but it's something to keep in mind. </p> <p>Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the rolled hem doesn't look too stumpifying. I tried the jeans again at full length, &amp; I wonder if the way it bunches at the ankles actually looks more stumpifying than the rolled hem? I think it might look better with low vamped shoes (so you can see the tops of my feet), but then wouldn't that increase the contrast &amp; therefore look less leg elongating? Arghhh so many factors to consider, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1877642 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 13:22:25 +0000 krishnidoux 1877642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, by the time fashion rolls back to longer lengths, you'll want a new, updated pair. Enjoy the one you have now at the length that suits your present life. If you have been rolling them it's a sign you will wear them a lot once cropped. A little bit of ankle showing is very flattering with ballets or tennis, and also with a little heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1877057 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 22:11:07 +0000 Anonymous 1877057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Viva , above. Always cuffing, not rolling, but cuffing. &nbsp;But then again, I like cropped jeans and don't get along with full-length ones &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1877051 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 21:49:44 +0000 viva 1877051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big cuffer (Diana's idea). I like the versatility, but I also just love how a big cuff looks. I think it would be great here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876975 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:56:54 +0000 Janet 1876975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuffed looks great. I like Diana’s idea too. I would not hem them because I like having the option of wearing them full length too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876973 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:52:42 +0000 rachylou 1876973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks cute! I like your shoes, btw. I also like Diana’s idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876913 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:53:46 +0000 Diana 1876913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this length (and the cuff) looks good! &nbsp;</p> <p>Another thing you could try which I quite like is doing one big cuff (just turn the hem up once). &nbsp;It's obviously more dramatic but I like that it is flatter. &nbsp;I actually do this with jeans that have a light underside but since yours look to be dark on the reverse side as well I don't think it will be quite as dramatic or color-blocked. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876908 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:49:41 +0000 Sara L. 1876908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost always roll my jeans when I wear them with flats (loafers, ballet slippers, etc) because I like the sliver of skin showing at my ankle.&nbsp; I also like to roll them above short boots with some sock showing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876904 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:42:00 +0000 Zaeobi 1876904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh &amp; thanks! Glad to know the length doesn't stumpify me, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876903 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:41:12 +0000 Zaeobi 1876903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I'm just worried that if I get them cropped, I'll start to regret it if I want that extra length again (&amp; once cropped trousers fall out of trend again) lol! I don't have a very casual style though, so I will mainly wear them with loafers &amp; boots (these trainers in these pictures are because I was on the way to the gym after work, lol!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876889 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:26:06 +0000 krishnidoux 1876889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lenght looks cute. You may want to have them altered into a crop just aboe the ankle that will wear well with spring outfits and lighter booties/tennis.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffed-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-1876862 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:28:22 +0000 Zaeobi 1876862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not generally one to wear jeans (I find the stiff denim, buttons &amp; zippers too uncomfortable for casual wear, most of the time) but I have this pair of dark blue wash, stretchy jeans that I never wear, so I'm trying to figure out how to style them. Do you think the thin rolled cuff works with my leg length? Would a thicker cuff cut my leg up too much (horizontally)? </p>
