How to cuff pants
How to show off your kicks.
When you're aiming for a sharp look, sagging pant cuffs just won't cut it. Rolled-up jeans or chinos create a cool silhouette and put your shoes or sneakers centre stage.
Cuffing your pants work best with jeans and chinos, especially straight-legged, slim or tapered fits. Done right, it's one of those quick style tweaks that every guy should know.
The best thing about a good cuff? They offer an opportunity to show off your foot candy. Perfect if you're a sneakerhead or just happen to be rocking a dope pair of socks.
