How To Cuff Jeans?

If you are aiming to achieve a smart look then sagging and loose pant ends won’t be able to give you that. For a cool and chic silhouette, you might want to consider cuffing the end of your pants to accentuate the look with your shoes.

The standard fashion trick of folding, rolling up, or cuffing pants is an effortless way to add some little details to your regular jeans, denim or chinos look. Cuffing works best with straight-legged, tapered fit and slim pants. The best aspect of a good turn-up or cuffed look is that it allows one to show off their sneakers or favorite pair of shoes and some dope pair of socks. 

Pants like jeans come with stitches at the bottom, called hem that prevents fraying of the fabric. These hems can be reopened and stitched again when one wants to get the pant shortened. However, cuffing is a more practical method to shorten jeans. Even though there had been somewhat of an uncool representation of the style of cuffing in the past, rest assured that the style of cuffing is coming back with more definition.    

Basic Steps For Cuffing Jeans

1. Start by choosing the right pair of uncuffed pants. Some of the best options are chinos, slim fit jeans, and denim. 
2. Grab and pinch the inseam of your jeans on one leg and pull it out. Do the same with the fabric on the other leg. 
3. Fold the seam of the pant inside and grab the bottom of the jeans where the fabric is supposed to overlap. 
4. Cuff or fold once, and keep the fold in place. You can choose to do another cuff depending on the cuffing style of your choice. 
5. Tuck the overlap inside the fold.
6. Use your fingers to smooth out the cuffs you made on both legs, and you will be ready to go. 

Ways To Cuff Jeans

1. Single Cuff

For a clean look and if your jeans are just about the right length this cuffing style works best and looks suitable for any jeans. The steps for making the single cuff are- 

• Fold up the cuff of your jeans for about 1 to 2 inches approximately.
• Either leave the hem or tuck it behind the roll if you like.

2. Double Cuff

If you want your jeans to hit the top of your boots, this cuff is a good option. With skinny fit jeans, the cuffs should be smaller whereas, with loose fit jeans, the cuffs should be bigger. The steps for making the double cuff are-

• First, fold the cuff in a single cuff then add another fold.
• The cuff shouldn’t sit higher than at the top of your shoes.

3. Skinny Double Cuff

If your jeans are not long enough but you want to achieve a double cuff look you can go for this cuff. This look goes best with flat shoes like converse. The steps for making the skinny double cuff are-

• Fold your skinny jeans in a single cuff. 
• Roll down the hem only to hide it.

4. Bicycle Cuff

This cuffing style is perfect for your outdoor activities like hiking or bicycling plan. You can also pair white sneakers with your bicycle cuffed jeans to a picnic date. To achieve this cuffed style you have to –

• Make the double cuffs. 
• Then slide the jeans above your calves but keep it just under the knees. 

5. Pin Roll Cuff

The pin roll cuff makes your jeans slimmer from the knee down and helps you in showing your shoes off. This cuff is complimented with narrower shoes. The steps for making the pin roll cuff are-

• At first, fold over the inseam of your leg.
• Then do a single cuff around 1.5 inches while you hold the fold with your thumb in place.
• Then fold it all once or twice. 

6. Mega Cuff

As the name suggests, the cuff itself is mega in size and usually requires loose fit jeans and heavy denim that will stay up. The steps for making the mega cuff are-

• Grab the bottom hem of the jeans and pull up and stop when it reaches about 4 inches.
• Straighten out the cuff so that it flatly lays with minimum wrinkles.

7. Japanese Cuff

The Japanese Cuff is ideal for you if you want a slightly cropped look and want to show off the hemstitching of your jeans. The steps for making the Japanese cuff are-

8. Summer Cuff

If you want to go for a casual look, this cuff is the perfect look for you. It suits with lightweight denim and also with roomier fits. The steps for making the summer cuff are-

• First roll up your jeans two, three or four times in an uneven manner.

• Fold your jeans inwardly in a single big cuff.
• Then do a single cuff on top of that cuff outwardly this time.

10. Iron Worker Cuff

For heavyweight canvas pants or long raw denim, this cuffing style works best. The folds made through ironworker cuffs will compliment your boots. The steps for making this type of cuff are- 

• Grab the hem and create a broad fold of approximately 4-5 inches width. 
• Smooth out the fold or cuff you made using fingers or even iron for achieving a perfect flat fold. 
• You can repeat the cuffs but remember the cuff should not go above your calf region.

Conclusion

For a dynamic personality, you need to keep changing the type of cuff you are making on your jeans. Also, wearing the same cuff on a denim pant for a long time can increase the chances of premature break of the fabric. 

To prevent the breakage, bring some variation to the type of cuff you are making. You can also depend on your shoes of the day to choose the type of cuff that best suits your outfit. We hope this article about cuffing jeans was helpful.

Clearly, you don’t have to invest a copious amount in buying extravagant showpieces or curtains to make your home look gorgeous. In this blog, we will be listing out a few festive decoration ideas that you can choose for your home to make it look bright and beautiful this festive season.

The Festive Season has officially begun and that has added some cheerful vibes to our lives after a year of facing pandemic. All of us eagerly look forward to Diwali, and this year the festive season adds all the more smiles to our face. Not just Diwali, we also have a series of festivals to celebrate such as Dhanteras, Bhai Dooj, and Govardhan Pooja and during these celebrations, home décor plays an important role. After all, would you like to have a dull home with no lights, diyas, or rangoli during the festive season? Of Course not!

Check out these DIY ideas and make your home look instantly beautiful:

COLOURED DIYAS

Diyas add a traditional touch to the Diwali Decor ritual. Although, today we use fairy lights, tea light candles, lamps, etc. but without diyas Diwali is certainly incomplete. Now, simply lighting the earthen diyas can be quite mundane, which is why we have come with a very interesting DIY so that you can transform diyas and give them a new look for decorating your home. 

Follow these steps to make your home look vibrant and beautiful:

• Firstly, take an earthen Diya, preferably the ones which have some patterns and designs in them. We are going for the patterned ones because that would allow the colours to be distinctive.
• Now, take golden spray paint and spray it all over the diya to ensure the coat is thick and permeates well into the diya. Let it dry for around 1-2 hours.
• Let it dry and take acrylic paints of any color — preferably bold colours. Colour the patterns in the inner part of the diya to give it a festive look to it.
• Next, take some pearl stickers and put them around the edges of the diyas. These pearl stickers are easily available online or in any stationary shop. 

There you go, we have our very own DIY colourful diyas ready to bright up your life!

FESTIVE CANDLES

Another way to beautify your home during the festive season is by incorporating candles at the corner of your home. While there are a host of decorative candles available in the market, did you know you could easily make them at home? Yes, you heard us right. You can easily make colourful candles at home by reusing your crockery. All you need is some candle wax, a set of wax crayons, candle wicks and a beautiful glass from your crockery collection.

• First, take some wax and add the wax crayon of the desired colour. Heat the wax well for the colour to infuse into the wax.
• Now, take the glass and place the candle wick into it. Make sure to hold it tightly.
• Once the wax is heated and infused well with the colour, add the wax to the glass carefully.
• After pouring the wax, allow the wax to cool down and let it settle. 

Your DIY colourful festive candles are ready!

WALL DÉCOR

Wall Decor is again a very beautiful element in festive decorations. It can be easily crafted from the comfort of our living rooms by using basic elements. What you need for this DIY is cardboard, some fabric and a few decorative pieces.

• Cut the cardboard in any geometrical shape and brush away all dust from it.
• Next, take any old fabric or felt sheet and stick it to the cardboard cutout using a strong adhesive.
• Once this is done, take a few decorative pieces like mica, kundan, mirror work, etc. and stick it to the cardboard piece.
• Add some pom-poms to these decorated pieces using a thread. This will act as the latkan. The DIY festive wall décor is ready to be adorned.

TEALIGHT HOLDER

This is again another extremely simple DIY to perform and practically requires very little effort and material. What you need is any glasses from your crockery set and rangoli colors.

• Take any glass and pour the dried rangoli colour powder into these glasses in a layered fashion. This means that the pouring of the powder should happen successively and not all together. Beautiful layers of colours can be seen. 
• Make sure this process is done till the colours reach the top of the glass.
• Once done, place tea-light candles that you have purchased for Diwali into the glasses. 

The DIY Tealight Candleholders are ready to be used. This is definitely the most last-minute yet a beautiful DIY!

COLOURED GLASS BOTTLES

One of the easiest DIY festive decorations, for this DIY all you need is some Glass Bottles and glass colours.

• In this DIY, take any glass bottle. You can purchase it from the market or you could reuse the glass bottles that come with pickles, jams or sauces.
• Clean the bottles properly to ensure no stain remains. 
• Now, take the glass colours which are again very easily available and begin the DIY. You could also make some patterns on these bottles and then fill them with colour.
• To make it look more festive, put some mica or Kundan (optional).
