Cuffed Jeans

Sarah Jessica Parker has been around for quite some time. We’ve seen this lovely lady wear denim in many different ways from her days dancing in the classic musical, Footloose to the iconic role that made her one of most influential dressers in Hollywood; most of you know this role as the sassy single writer, Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City. While we’re not well versed in describing Sarah Jessica Parker’s personal style, we know that playing Carrie for six straight years has definitely improved Sarah’s own outfit choices overtime. Today at INDI, we are going to look at SPJ’s denim style transformation and how she (like plenty of ladies out there) got to inject a little Carrie Bradshaw in her own wardrobe.

In the early 80’s, we first saw Sarah in jeans when she played a nerdy girl in the comedy series called Square Pegs. Next, the future Carrie Bradshaw was then photographed wearing an oversized blazer paired with her rolled cuffed jeans—the outfit doesnt look exactly quite right but she was trying! Come 2007 and three years have passed since Sex and the City, Sarah has come to her own style-wise, and is pictured during the launch of her very own clothing line. In 2009, the four favorite fashionable girls reunite for the Sex and the City movie; here, Sarah is with Cynthia Nixon aka Miranda Hobbes wearing super light blue denim while filming a scene from the movie. In 2010 and present, SPJ has finally solidified her style—even mixing funky accessories (the fedora hat and the bright pink bag) with true classic denim pieces.

Cuffed jeans? Fashionable?

That’s right. Cuffed jeans CAN, in fact, be fashionable. The key is starting with the right jean. Remember, a cuff can’t perform miracles. So if you start with an ugly jean and add a cuff, you will (surprisingly) end up with an ugly cuffed jean. On the other hand, if you have a great skinny, tapered, or even straight leg jean that already compliments your curves, try rolling it up once or twice. Go a little crazy; see what happens.

Now you should know, cuffing is truly an art. And as an art, it may take you years to master. Cuffing your jeans requires creativity and vision, because there isn’t just one way to cuff!

Your cuff (clearly) depends on your outfit. Feeling traditional? Stick with a smaller cuff (~1.5 inches). When you’re ready to mix it up a bit, try venturing out a little further to the land of the the high cuff (recommended for cuff experts, only).

Like most things, practice makes perfect. And when you are experimenting with new fashions, you may want to test your new style in front of those who know and love you for who you are on the inside. Who knows what trouble one bad cuffed jean decision may cause…

So to help you out with you cuffed-jean trials and tribulations, we suggest you take a look at some of the pretty people who are doing their part to bring fashion to the plebs. Aw, they are sooooo self-sacrificing, aren’t they?
