How much money do you need to look stylish? Don't rush to count. Sometimes you don't need to spend a penny, just a little touch is enough to become an object of admiration. Modern fashion is not very demanding; it allows both informal style and slight negligence. Its main condition is relevance.
To make your look lighter and more relaxed, just one detail is enough - turning your jeans.
But how to do it correctly and beautifully, what to combine it with and who should not resort to this technique, read on...
Which men's trousers can be rolled up?
Almost any. But turn-ups look most stylish on dark blue jeans made of thick fabric with a light inside.
Due to the contrast, such tackles look especially impressive. Any type of cuff will be appropriate with classic jeans and fitted pants, chinos or khaki jeans.
Reference! The only exception is skinny trousers - very tight trousers. By themselves, they look unusual and stylish, and a tackle here is not always appropriate, but this is a matter of taste.
If you decide to experiment with turning up your pants, then you should pay attention to details such as: height, length of pants and shoes. There are several rules to follow to avoid getting into trouble.
Rules to follow:
- You should not combine rolled-up jeans with shoes that are inappropriate for the season.
- You should definitely take into account the color and density of the jeans. For dark pants, the optimal width of the hem is 4–6 cm, and it should be double (a thicker one looks rude). Thinner trousers can be rolled up 3 times; the width of the trousers is 3 cm.
- Moderate negligence is acceptable here; moreover, it is necessary. Agree, jeans with perfectly even rolls, and even ironed ones, look ridiculous.
- Insist on rolling up your jeans too much. This will give the impression of a person who has just crossed a river, it looks stupid.
- Unroll the folds immediately after taking off your jeans, otherwise they will leave streaks on them.
- Cuffs look very stylish when the front side of the pants is dark and the back is light.
- And most importantly, there should be no empty space between the bottom of the pants and the shoes. Socks should not be visible!

A couple of tips
The brighter the trousers, the narrower and more layered the trousers. And vice versa.
- It is better to roll up your pants after washing. You need to wait until the material dries and bend it the required number of times. This way the cuffs won't need to be ironed to keep them in place.
- Thin trousers can simply be rolled up. The roller is made to the very level that is required, and then smoothed with a hot iron. here is not to overdo it , because this method of tucking was popular in the time of Mark Twain, whose Tom Sawyer often protected his only pants with the help of such tuckings.
- You don’t need to think that a cuff is only for summer and autumn outfits. In winter, a guy can also look stylish. Single-layer collars with lace-up boots in bright colors look great. But don't forget about high socks! A bare leg will look funny .
- Shoes for the ensemble are semi-sports or casual. Top-siders, moccasins, and sometimes brogues or monks look good. Winter shoes include Martins and Deserts. Loafers go well with extravagant looks.
When choosing a top for such pants, it is better to stick to casual options . The following combinations look great:
- classic T-shirt, straight-cut cotton jacket, deserts;
- slacks, textile sneakers, short-sleeved polo;
- chinos, low-top sneakers, structured long sleeves;
- informal shirt with rolled up sleeves, slacks, leather sneakers;
- T-shirt, sneakers, chinos, denim;
- vest, slacks, low sneakers;
- slacks, deserts, soft linen shirt;
- classic suit with tapered trousers, informal shirt, top-siders;
- high-rolled slacks, a knitted hoodie, brogues with socks.
There are countless examples. Moreover, modern fashion allows absolutely any experiments and combinations. A few rules, a few restrictions, and a flight of fancy will take place. Happy gateway!
Important Rules
When rolled up jeans are appropriate:
- If you have a heavy build. Wide pants or jeans with low rolls are ideal.
- If you are a fan of business style, then the best solution is narrow classic jeans in dark colors with narrow rolls.
- If you have a thin frame and want to add volume. Then your option is straight jeans with a 4-5 cm roll. Thin people are not recommended to wear pants that are too wide or skinny, this will only emphasize what you want to hide.
Attention! It is not advisable to roll up pants for men of short stature and stocky build. This will highlight figure flaws.
You just need to tuck your trouser leg correctly
Many people fold any long jeans. These guys don't even realize that they look like clowns.
Wrong models of jeans with this technique simply “shorten” a person. Who wants to make themselves look short? But there are such people.
Which gates for which model, very briefly:
- A small single fold - for straight skinny jeans, it will visually straighten the leg a little.
- A wide turn-up is done only when wearing heavy shoes, such as Timberlands. Don't do it with sneakers.
- Medium turn-up - suitable for any shoe, ideal for cross-jeans.
- A wide double turn-up, just like a single turn-up, is done only with certain shoes, most often ankle boots. Yes Yes. No light summer sneakers!
- A narrow gate - popularly called a pinroll. It visually weighs down the edge of skinny jeans. Ideal for the beach when you don't want to get the hem of your pants wet. There is no need to go to restaurants or bars like this. This is silly.
In short, Google the technology, and then everything will be fine.
Fashionable ways to make a gateway
There are several ways to turn up jeans. Each of them suits a specific style and cut; your figure, height, shoes and, most importantly, your preferences are also taken into account.
Methods for turning up jeans:
- Classic method. This is a regular cuff, folded in one step (width - 2-2.5 cm). To do this, bend the trouser leg once to a width of about 2 cm. The width may vary depending on the height of the jeans. This option goes best with classic jeans or chinos (soft trousers made of linen or thin denim). The method is perfect for classic-style boots or any wide shoes.
- Wide gateway. It is performed in the same way as the previous option, with the difference that here the cuff is slightly wider, approximately 4–5 cm. This method is best used for fitted and tight pants. Pairs perfectly with chunky shoes.
- Thin hem , 1-1.5 cm wide. This cuff is rotated in small increments of 3-4 layers. Perfect for skinny jeans, in harmony with light sneakers, flip-flops, light moccasins and sneakers.
- Double turn-up (thick cuff). This is done by folding the edge of the trouser leg 2 times (width 2–3 cm). This rolling should be done carefully. The method is applicable for wide pants made of thick fabric. Suitable shoes - suede topsiders, derbies, sneakers, chukka boots, sneakers.
- Narrowed tackle. This is done as follows: tuck the edge of the trouser leg towards the leg, and then roll it outward 2 times so as to secure the trouser leg. The cuff is tight and slightly tapered. The method is only suitable for those pants that have excess fabric. Pairs with boots, sneakers, flip-flops, sandals.
- Double-layer tapered cuff. It is performed in the same way as the previous version, but the inner fold is done 2 times. The method is suitable for wide jeans made of rough fabric. Suitable for boots, sneakers, sandals, sneakers.
- A casual tackle in casual style (casual wear). This method can be called the most informal of all. The trouser leg needs to be rolled up 4 times, the cuff width is approximately 3–4 cm. In this case, the rolls will be placed under the knees, and the trousers will look like shorts. Do not correct any folds that appear; the hem should have a slightly sloppy appearance. Suitable footwear: sneakers, moccasins, flip-flops.

Why do they make cuffs on jeans?
Some are sure that the rolls have a purely utilitarian purpose - to make trouser legs shorter without resorting to the services of a sewing workshop.
This statement undoubtedly has good reasons, going back to the times when the length of the product had clear standards. Unfortunately, not everyone’s leg length “fit” into these standards, so it was necessary to “adjust” them using available methods. Version number 2: from a functional point of view, tackles are direct descendants of cuffs. The thickened bottom of the trousers wears less easily and does not get dirty as much. True, modern fashion hardly takes these considerations into account, and today’s guys are able to afford to buy new jeans quite often. So we are dealing with “twists for the sake of twists.” They give the image lightness and dynamism. Although in some cases it is possible that you might want to shorten trousers of normal length.
Important: classic-cut jeans are not usually tucked, although no one forbids experimentation.
To make wide pants narrower
If you want to taper your jeans and get a voluminous cuff, do this:
- Tuck the trouser leg in one layer 1-1.5 cm inward.
- Place the fold on the inside (along the seam), press it firmly with your hand.
- Wrap the roll 2 more times until the fold is firmly fixed.
Attention! You shouldn't narrow pants that are too wide; such cuffs and folds will look too rough.

How to roll up pants and jeans correctly
Regular jeans
Today, many men want to know how best to roll up their trousers or jeans. Here you need to follow certain rules and follow useful tips. If you decide to roll up your jeans, then you shouldn’t make the cuffs too big. They will not look the best because they will not be in harmony with the image as a whole. The narrower your jeans model, the narrower the hem should be. Since denim has a high density, therefore, in most cases, one turn up will be enough for you. If one turn on the jeans does not hold, and several shorten the pants significantly, then they can be ironed immediately after washing. This will allow the trousers to retain their shape for a long time.
Straight-leg jeans and chinos
When dealing with straight-leg jeans, you can narrow the silhouette a little at the bottom. To do this, you just need to make a small fold at the bottom of the trouser leg at a slight angle and tuck it in along with it. The same technique works for chinos.
Trousers
All the techniques described above will also work for trousers. In addition, you can simply roll up your trousers. It is better to do this not in layers, but simply gather the fabric into a careless roll. Although here you also need to remember to be careful, otherwise you may end up looking like Tom Sawyer. In principle, the main advice to follow when tucking up trousers is moderation. Your trousers should not be rolled up too high, as this will make you look like you are about to cross a river.
When tucking up your trousers, you should not forget about the choice of socks. In particular, they should not be too short so that your bare legs are not visible between them and the trouser leg. Classic trousers usually do not roll up, although options are possible here too. In particular, on some models there are special folds that were specially thought out and ironed in the studio while the pants were being sewn.
What do they go with?
Turned jeans are primarily casual, sporty, style or grunge:
- Loose shirts made from natural fabrics, jackets with large cuffs, and stylish jackets are appropriate here.
- Rolled up jeans with low 3⁄4 shirts and slip-ons on bare feet look interesting.
- Pullovers, sweatshirts, cozy chunky knit sweaters – they all fit in here.
- A very stylish option is wide jeans combined with a torn shirt.
- Another fashionable look is classic blue jeans, a wide pullover and a hat with a small brim.
Ripped jeans will add a touch of flair to almost any look.
Reference ! The only place where tackles are inappropriate is in the office and official receptions and places where a strict dress code is prescribed.
