Nowadays, turn-ups on jeans and trousers of various styles can be found on every second man or woman. And if earlier such a fashion trend could be found among young people, now people of different age categories and genders give their preference to collars. So, where did the fashion for turn-ups come from and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
History of gateways
Tucks were found at different times, and the meaning of tucking one's pants was different. The first “legislators” of this fashion were Caribbean robbers. It was they who began to roll up their pants to emphasize their brutality and physical strength. Then various youth movements and subcultures of the 20th century began to take over fashion.
Rockers. In the early 60s of the twentieth century, various rocker gangs began to form in large cities in the UK and the USA. By now, little has changed in their style: black leather jackets and ripped jeans were complemented by cuffs over high boots.Another irreplaceable rocker attribute is a motorcycle or moped. And the gates were needed precisely for convenience while driving.
The next culture is punks. They arose not much later than rockers in the same UK and USA. The difference in style was the presence of bright colors combined with black, as well as rivets, patches and, of course, turn-ups. Unlike rockers, punks did more pronounced high turns.
Skinheads. The origin of culture occurred again in Great Britain, but already by the 70s of the last century. Skinheads' clothing and style were less colorful than previous youth movements, but they still stood out from the crowd. The traditional “outfit” of a skinhead is a checkered shirt, wide jeans, suspenders, rough work boots and cuffs. Rolled up pants, as it seemed to skinhead leaders at that time, visually enlarged the ankle. This added brutality and also made him stand out from the crowd.
Football. Rolling up pants was popular among football fans. Most matches ended in mass fights among fans. They rolled up their pants to indicate their readiness to fight. The fashion for gateways among fans quickly spread to different cities in Europe and America.
After the 80s, cuffs on jeans moved away from the trends of subcultures and did not have any specific meaning. Rolling up pants reached the level of high fashion and was simply an element of clothing that complemented the image. It was simple and convenient.
Current fashion
According to some stylists and clothing designers, this fashion came not from the above historical facts, but from Milan. And the prerequisites for this trend are quite simple - the city is quite hot, and there are a lot of fashionistas there.Having visited Milan, the trend began to be picked up by many other people who follow fashion.
Nowadays, upturns are becoming more and more common on women and men, including those 40+. The trend has become so popular that wearing pants that cover your shoes has become a bad form, reserved only for slobs, as well as construction workers. Therefore, followers of new trends always strictly adhere to the rule: there must be a distance between shoes and pants.
Reference. Clothing manufacturers also take this factor into account and often jeans and even business pants go on sale with cuffs.
People of short stature were most happy about this trend. No more hemming pants that are too long! And in the fall or spring, this life hack can be used to hide splashes after walking along a wet street.
As for the disadvantages, they visually shorten the leg. Accordingly, they do not always suit short people. And it’s impossible to emphasize long slender legs with such a fashion for pants.
How to make turns correctly?
Rolled up pants are, first of all, casual and a slight touch of negligence. They shouldn't be too perfect. A few rules on how to make stylish turns:
- The inner seam should be visible.
- The height of the gate is from 1 to 4 cm.
- The turn-up begins after 0.5-1 cm; a larger distance is allowed only with wide pants.
- There should be no more than 2-3 turns, otherwise they will add extra volume to the pants.
Unfortunately, many continue to consider rolled-up pants an anti-trend, bad manners. But we must not forget that the main thing in clothing is convenience and comfort.

And before punks and bikers, jeans weren’t rolled up or worn at all? 🙂
Ready to fight??? It’s more difficult to grab hold of such a trouser leg, that’s the whole secret of this fashion... for the same reason, bomber jackets without a collar...
I’m giving away a life hack for tall women who can’t find women’s jeans. Buy regular jeans for medium height, in which you look like you've been shot :)) and roll them up. Voila, you have fashionable pants with a length of 7/8 or 3/4 and you are no longer a victim of your own height, but quite the opposite: D besides, this fashion does not shorten our legs)
That is, torn, tucked-up trousers, worn out to holes, are the lot of fashionistas and neat people, and normal, clean “pants that cover shoes have become a bad form, characteristic only of slobs, as well as handymen at a construction site”??? Author, roll up your pants up to your knees and run into the wall.
Plebeianism. Bad taste. The destiny (especially for Russia) of visiting gopniks! They don’t carry any fashion or meaning. Lazy people and idle people. Those who don’t know how to hem, have no money, and simply don’t have any taste from the province! THE USSR. 70 years old.All the settlers (limit!) (and no offense!) rolled up their jeans roughly or unattractively. And it was a dream to get their jeans. So as not to be different from the city ones, and to seem brutal and urban! And on their feet they loved cheap, unsightly shoes with thick soles!
getting jeans was the dream of everyone in the 70s. Or could the locals do it for a bribe!? The locals also engaged in blackmail, and they were sent to prison - this was the privilege of the “locals”, because they did not know the “limit”. the limit is 47 years already in Leningrad and St. Petersburg and I’m proud of it - I earned it all myself, I didn’t expect an inheritance from my grandmother
In general, they look like monkeys, and they all walk the same - cool) with turns and hairstyles)))))) the poor people have no idea that other people are laughing at them. Overall it's funny. in winter -25. I see a fashionista coming. Of course, it’s freezing cold, but fashion requires sacrifice.
Gangs of greaser rockers called roll-ups "roll-ups" and often made them wider than 10 cm.
This subculture. Came from the West. I'll tell you right away. In Russia everything has been distorted! Those. there is affiliation with groups. In Russia it would be easy to grab it... And say it. This is great. Let's remember the days of the hippies?! In Russia it was a parody. And it became fashion. But. Bydlovskaya. Or gopniks. These are middle class people! And then nothing. Not any kind of politics. These are the children of the poor and drunks. I’ll say one more thing. At beautiful hems, lacing and laces were indicated. It belonged to one of the groups. Not talking. That during a fight gateways saved. And it’s more convenient to swing your legs. In Russia... Conclusion. And observation. These are just rogues!!!
Nikolai Nikolaevich, please make friends with the Russian language. If you are such an expert in the world of fashion, and not a redneck, a gopnik or a neuter person, and not a child of poor people and drunks, you probably won’t “swing” your legs. And to top off your “observation” - Aren’t you a beggar?
Stupid unhealthy fashion. This is complete stupidity - there is one of these today. Cold, wind, a whole blanket (not a scarf) around my neck, bare little legs sticking out of the fold with goosebumps. Well, you need to use your brains! When and what to wear. Plus, these pants look like hell. It’s as if she’s a beggar and has grown out of jeans long ago. This is not fashion, but complete bad taste and lack of brains.
