This growing trend in denim wear is getting hot, but is it for you? A lot of girls are already accustomed to turning up their jeans for a collared denim look when wearing flats, or sneakers. However, does this look translate well for men?
one classic example of what we're talking about thanks to lostwithoutwords
Men’s magazines such as GQ are offering this look as the new single-man sheik. So what’s the issue? Well to be completely honest, although this new style can take your denim to a new sexy extreme, it can also make you look shorter, like you don’t have enough jean to cover your legs, or just plain like a tool. Men who value their fashion and sex appeal should be daring to try this turned up jean style, but be careful to follow a few steps.
- Don’t get too anal. If you’re usually OCD about a lot of things, this style may not be for you. Think about how many times you would have to fix your pant leg if one side was folded up higher than the other as you walk around town. This style is meant to give you a laid back, careless fashion, so don’t worry about the neatness of the cuff.
- Don’t over-fold. One cuff is enough. If you start multiple layers of cuffs by folding the pant over and over, your look will become cheap and overworked. Chill with the folds.
- Don’t show your bare skin. I’m sure your ankles are very manly and sexy, but no one wants the make their jeans look two sizes too small…helloooo redneck. Make your look fresh and buy pants that you can fold once without baring skin.
