Basic Definition

Pegged jeans are simply a relaxed fit jean that is tightly rolled from the hem several times to create a tapered effect. Pegged jeans create an ankle length that is ideal for showing off a great pair of shoes. For women cuffed jeans offer a more tailored way of wearing the boyfriend jeans trend.

Mastering the cuff

The simplest way to achieve pegged jeans is to follow a few simple steps.
1. Holding the hem, pull all slack towards the front over your foot.
2. Put the fingers of whatever hand is not holding the slack at the base of the excess fabric
3. Fold extra around ankle (like your wrapping a present)
4. Begin to roll up, 3 or 4 rolls will secure the pegged jeans. You want to keep the roll tight in order to created the tapered peg effect

Pegged jeans are an old classic that, when done with modern accessories, will not date you to the 1980’s.

Cuffed jeans for women are best on an hourglass shape because the proportion of the jeans will complement the upper half of this body shape.
