Ok yes I do enjoy fashion but honestly it's 5% ok probably 10% of my life. And ylf is even less.<br /> I don't post all the other things going in my life. Heck even Facebook gets less than half.<br /> So if you feel that you know me by the 1% of my life I post here, That seems like an awfully small sample size.</p> <p>I posted these links because another forum member was fiddling with her cuffs. So I got curious and found these tutorials because I figured they might help others and guess what you can experiment with cuffing jeans for zero dollars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1606107 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:03:55 +0000 Anonymous 1606107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the hay, Archer??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1606094 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 15:53:38 +0000 Diana 1606094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the big cuff and have done it occasionally. It only works with a couple of my pairs of jeans though.

That was a confusing post and I'm not sure how it relates to cuffing and rolling of jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1606085 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 15:44:36 +0000 Janet 1606085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, I never would have thought to cuff before putting the jeans on -- I always do that afterward, unless they're still cuffed from the last time I wore them. </p> <p>Cuffing length and evenness is a little tricky when you have uneven leg lengths -- if I get the cuffs looking the same size, one invariably ends up hitting my leg lower than the other side. Ah, the joys of asymmetry. Am I the only one? The tailor does a double take when I only need to get one leg of a pair of pants tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1606083 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 15:37:44 +0000 Archer 1606083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna- You who works this 'first world forum' to the max and sometimes to the ludicrous level of indulgence, semi-narcissistic humour - intentional &nbsp;if onlypartially - &nbsp;- You need to decide for yourself my friend.

I just bought a pair of cuffed NYDJ cropped jeans, &amp; can't wait to wear them. I have some pants that are supposed to be rolled, but I feel self conscious whenever I wear them and am thinking of having them hemmed up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1606078 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 15:30:47 +0000 Anonymous 1606078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Anna. I cuffed like crazy last summer and want to try the wider versions, although at my short height, that may be tricky.

I've tried many of them. But it just occurred to me... I always do my cuffing <i>after</i> I've put my jeans on not before like these are showing. How else would I get the length right?? Does explain why it takes me what I've always assumed was way too long to straighten out my side seams.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605903 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 03:15:59 +0000 Anonymous 1605903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the "fold and tuck" but the difficulty rating is a "hard" so unfortunately, that one's off the table for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605875 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 02:24:53 +0000 Colette 1605875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank's for the links, interesting and helpful. I've been experimenting with cuffing and am enjoying a bit wider cuff, copied from Lisa. I also like my cropped frayed hem straight jeans flipped up one cuff. I'm planning on wearing them that way in spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605833 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 00:46:46 +0000 Jjsloane 1605833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing, I actually learned something from this.

I've done a lot of these, but I tend to like the cuffs better than the rolls. Nice rundown, thanks for sharing.

It took me half a season to love them. I don't have posion eye for cropped flared pants at all - I wear them a LOT, and they've become a wardrobe essential - but I am very,&nbsp;<b>very</b> particular about how they are styled.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605781 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 22:40:02 +0000 annagybe 1605781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the InStyle examples I like the big single cuffs in #1 &amp; 6. Also #3, the roll &amp; tuck would be interesting with tall ankle to mid calf boots that are sleek.</p> <p>ETA Viva, I don't remember your jeans but I've seen many times some on the forum slow to embrace new trends. I remember it with my culottes I got a few years ago. I think even Angie didn't like the cropped flares at first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605777 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 22:28:48 +0000 Anonymous 1605777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting how some already look more modern or interesting &nbsp;than others. &nbsp;Thanks for finding and sharing this - good visuals . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605773 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 22:15:04 +0000 LaPed 1605773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like most all of 'em! Particularly fond of super-wide and super-skinny cuffs. Don't like wearing the twisted or bunched versions so much, just not as comfortable.</p> <p>I see quite a lot of folks cuffing these days, all ages and all different styles. I suspect it's due in large part to the recent popularity of ankle boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605769 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 22:09:45 +0000 Angie 1605769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent.

I kind of like them both, I have to say. The rolled ones with the LV high shaft booties are kind of spectacular.</p> <p>Early last summer (I think?) I bought white selvedge jeans from JCrew that had a deep cuff, and most people here did not like the look at all. The times they are a changin, I think! (Too bad I got rid of those jeans because they were too big. I think they would fit me today, darn it.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cuffing-jeans#post-1605735 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 20:45:19 +0000 annagybe 1605735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a very detailed tutorial </p> <p><a href="http://www.popsugar.com/fashion/How-Cuff-Your-Jeans-35182399#photo-35182399" rel="nofollow">http://www.popsugar.com/fashio.....o-35182399</a></p> <p>Not quite as detailed </p> <p><a href="http://www.instyle.com/how-tos/how-to-cuff-jeans#1151751" rel="nofollow">http://www.instyle.com/how-tos.....ns#1151751</a></p> <p>I want to try the bigger cuffs </p>
