Turn-ups have again become a trend for men and still have not gone out of fashion. They went through a difficult fate from the hooligans of the 60s, through punks and skinheads, and reached modern youth. The misuse of this element of the image has made those who match it the subject of ridicule and memes. However, in Europe it is used not only by schoolchildren, but also by adult men. Let's figure out how to correctly make the turn's on jeans for a guy so that they look stylish, and not defiant.
What jeans to tuck
Street fashion does not leave anyone indifferent, tackles on jeans are appropriate only on certain models:
- Slim Fit or Straight cut… These jeans are suitable for young men of proportional build, tall, with long legs. They are partly attached to the hips, straight from the knee, free.
- Regular (Classic) Fit… Regular fit, popular among men of all ages. Completely straight, slightly tapered at the bottom. Suitable for anyone type.
- Ralaxed Fit… Straight free cut, comfortable for men with a mobile lifestyle or with a tight figure. Jeans hold loose, do not fit, wide at the bottom.
It is not recommended tucking the trendy skinny jeans. This model is already attracting attention, the lower part is rather narrow. You can't do the turns on wide flared jeans, it looks comical. The same applies to jeans with a raw edge, they are already ready to wear in their original form, they do not require improvement.
If the collar is high: winter boots, summer sandals. For medium and low: slip-ons, casual boots, sneakers, classic sneakers.
Fundamental rules
The cuffs on the trousers are simple to perform, but there are nuances that need to be taken into account:
- They visually shorten the legs. Therefore, men with short stature or dense build are not recommended using this method to diversify their wardrobe.
- You don't have to expose your ankles. A bright strip of socks or high boots and jeans with a turn-up look stylish.
- It is not advisable to make the lapel itself wider than 4-5 cm, otherwise it will draw excessive attention to itself. This rule does not apply to bike rides where height is critical.
- If the fabric is dense, a single or double fold is sufficient, otherwise a thick roller will turn out. For thin materials, multiple layers are necessary with the use of an iron, there is a risk that the shape will not hold.
- Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for men to wear gates in winter. But definitely not exposing the ankles, but with high warm boots (for example, Timberland).
- A wrinkled appearance is not desirable, the cuff should be flat, even if it goes into a narrowing.
- The wider the leg, the wider the fold. On narrow men's jeans, thin cuffs 1-2 cm wide look great.
- It is strictly forbidden to tuck sports and classic trousers.
- The bottom edge of the jeans should touch the edge of the socks or boots, a large distance is not allowed. Otherwise, the unsuccessful image will resemble a circus performer's performance.
- The most advantageous options: dark jeans with a light inside, or light and dark.
- If the inside of the line is sloppy, it is not recommended tucking such jeans. The threads sticking out in all directions look depressing.
- The classic style looks neater if you make a turn. This option is suitable for men of any age and any physique.
- For skinny guys, jeans in bright colors, medium-width cuffs are suitable. Full - straight fit and narrow cuffs.
- If you need a business bias, roll up black men's jeans, tapered at the bottom.
For narrow models
For those who want to tuck skinny jeans, despite the prohibitions, it is recommended to make a thin cuff. Preferably single fold, extremely neat and symmetrical. Otherwise, the whole male image will be spoiled.
For straight styles
Here, the method depends on the length of the legs. The folds are preferable wide or medium, single or double, the initial length of the leg matters. If there is a lot of free material, double folds are appropriate, evenly ironed, without creases, symmetrical.
In order for the image of a man to turn out with fashionable sloppiness, anti symmetry, horizontal displacement is permissible.
wide models
The lapel is used on dense fabrics, single fold. To keep the shape better, the hall needs to be ironed out.
Chinoses
Colored models are usually sand or khaki, tapered at the bottom. How to tuck these jeans:
- make a tuft on the back side at the bottom;
- bend the cuff in two layers, slightly narrowing the shape of the pant leg.
Cotton men's trousers look so original and light, slightly casual and stylish.
5 options for turning
Western stylists offer several basic options for guys looking to refine their look and diversify their wardrobe. How to tuck jeans correctly, a quick guide:
- Narrow pin roll
Suitable for skinny and delicate trousers. The first layer is tucked up to the width along the bottom seam. An extra centimeter is added to the second layer. You can make it 1-2 cm wider, then it will be a medium and wide pin roll, respectively.
- Standard single blade
To complete it, the fabric must be dense and hold its shape well. Bend it once, by 2-2,5 cm. To keep the shape, you need to walk with an iron with hot steam along the edge.
- wide cuff
Suitable for tall young men, careful attention to the style is required. It is better to use this option for narrow models, straight or denim. They are folded once by 4-8 cm, it is recommended to iron the fold line. This method is applicable for high boots, when riding a bicycle. In the latter case, it is allowed to perform on one leg.
- double fold
Suitable for straight leg trousers. How beautiful it is to turn it up: the first hem is made 2-3 cm, the second one is 1 cm more. To look neat and stylish, use the iron again. A triple version is possible, suitable for thin fabrics. In this case, the width of the initial hem is 1.5 cm, the next are wider by 0.5 cm.
- Tapered cuff
Suitable for summer men's jeans, light negligence, sloppiness and asymmetry looks good. To do this, a pinch of the fabric is made from the side or back, then the lower hem is 1.5 cm and another one by 3-4 cm. In this case, you do not need to use an iron, on the contrary, slightly crumpled folds will look better.
If the result is wide and high, there should be no accessories between the edge and the feet: either an ankle and low sneakers / boots, or a high bootleg (preferably brutal men's lace-up boots). Eye-catching socks (no matter what color) will be inappropriate, the maximum is a low rise hidden inside the sneaker. If there is a lot of fabric or the cuff does not hold well, it is allowed to hem the edge discreetly.
