Rolled jean cuffs

BlondeAmbition

I see a lot of women wearing their jeans rolled up, sometimes long skinnies, other times boyfriend jeans. I love the look but I have no idea how to pull it off. Can someone 5'4" size 14 hourglass/pear shaped wear this look? Will it make me look short? Do I have to be super skinny to pull off this look?

I do wear my skinny jeans cuffed sometimes *ducking while Angie throws something at me* I think they probably look best with heels though I wore flats. I'm doing a Maya with this and wearng it even though I know it's not the best because I like it. In my defence I am 5ft 7 with fairly long legs anyway, as I think the look shortens the leg line x

Love it Louise, I think it looks great. You're tall and thin and you can definitely pull this outfit off. I'm short and hippy and I might just have to give up on this look for myself.

Angie has suggested keeping the cuffs either high- almost at the knee, or low- at the ankle. I have some long slouchy skinnies on the way which I am going to try rolling. Mine are a very light wash, and I plan on wearing them with neutral tones shoes to keep the contrast low. I'm close in heights/size/shape to you, but I think we can make it work.

I'm a shorty (just under 5'3") with narrow hips and I find a low narrow cuff works for me. I do like the look best on a medium wash so the color contrast between the front and back of the fabric is not so obvious.

I like this look a lot. For me, this is one of those styles that I can appreciate a lot, even though it technically may not be the most "flattering" (i.e., it can make one's legs look shorter).
