cuffed jeans

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

I've tried to find jeans to do this too but can never find anything. Everything I try is too "boot cut". It would work best with a straight leg jean. I just can't find a good straight leg pair.

rocky · Coach

definitely the straighter the leg, the easier it is

oops - it doesn't go directly to them - they're the nouveau low cut straight 505 cuff

and these - 7 hefner stretch - on sale at Nordstrom for $96.90

i have an old pair of diesels that i keep cuffed. it works better if they're relatively straight leg, but mine have a flare. the key is to use those big safety pins (diaper pins?). i used them and they've stayed put through numerous washings. also cuff them along the seam, with the pin part facing down, so if they come undone they won't stick you.

Lilykind · Hermes

I have huge calves and straight leg jeans actually look a bit funky on me when cuffed. I prefer to use Seven bootcuts for the purpose.

Would buying a pair of cuffed capris be easier?

halleybird · Hermes

I agree with Amelie -- cuffed capris will probably be easier, b/c the cuff won't be as bulky. I can't ever seem to cuff my jeans without feeling like a pirate b/c of the bulk. Gap carries these every year.

I like the look when I roll them twice.
