The fashion for turning up trousers arose a long time ago - during the time of Prince Edward of Wales. He was an innovator in fashion, introducing various trends. The British weather forced him to roll up his trousers: mud and slush. Later, his innovation captured the whole of Europe.
In the 21st century, the trend has come to life. Reason: fashion for long bright socks and sneakers. To show them off, fashionistas rolled up the edges of their pants. Nowadays they tuck almost everything: jeans, shorts, jackets, shirts. But there is a category of trousers that leaves some uncertainty with the possibility of turning up. In this article we will figure out how to properly roll up trousers with arrows.
Turnaround rules
There are no strict rules, but there are several ways: tucking and pinrolling, that is, rolling up. The first technique involves 1 wide fold (7-8 centimeters); if it does not hold, iron the product along the seam (preferably while the fabric is still wet). The second is several twists, creating the effect of a sloppy tube. This technique can help make pants that are too wide fit narrower.
The main rule for a trend is to maintain proportions. The narrower the product, the narrower the width of the resulting cuff.
The technique is not recommended for use by short people, as it visually shortens the legs. It is also believed that you should not roll up baggy oversized or too tight jeans (“skinny” or “slim”). But modern fashion allows you to do this.
Tips for use
- The MAIN thing is not to overdo it. If you decide to use this trend, don't tuck it too high. The essence of the method is to make the image more interesting with the help of a small acceptance, and not to help cross a puddle of mud.
- If you wear socks, make sure they completely cover your skin before you start your pants.
- Do not use on sweatpants or wool pants. For the former, this is inappropriate, and for the latter, the fabric will not be able to withstand wrapping.
- It is IMPORTANT to consider the time of year. This trend is clearly not suitable for the Russian winter.
- Rough boots are combined with wide single cuffs, and loafers, sneakers, and moccasins are combined with several twisted cuffs. Narrow cuffs are suitable for summer shoes.
- Should only be used on shorts if they are made from cut-off jeans. This will hide any protruding threads.
Suit trousers
This style is usually not tucked. The exception is in cases of extreme necessity (a lot of dirt or water). A classic suit is following a specific formal dress code. Their combination with fashionable gates is inappropriate and ridiculous. The fabric is not able to withstand such a design. Instead, you should make regular classic cuffs.
