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?

Cheating On My Low Rise Bootcut Jeans

indi's SoMa with a narrow leg jean

Yup, sometimes I’d get crazy and throw in a super low flare but I have well over 10 pairs of low rise bootcut. I know what I like and that’s what indi is all about—letting you get exactly what you want! And afterall, they are all unique with different washes, finishes and back pockets. Plus, throw in the fact I need jeans for flats and jeans for my new 4” boots, and I never really thought I could have enough of my beloved style.

The main reason for my commitment to the bootcut is that I’d sometime ago convinced myself that I would never look good in a taper style and never even tried it. I do that with food sometimes. I went an unfortunate number of years without mushrooms in my diet. But a few weeks ago, we had a photoshoot here at indi and it was really cool to see the models take on totally different looks depending on the jeans they had on. Suddenly I wanted, needed, craved having a pair of indi’s SoMa with a narrow leg jean. They just looked so adorable on the model (see photo). Well, my jeans arrived and I am in love with my new look. I also think I have a new excuse to go buy those boots the model is wearing!

Ladies, I recommend it… try a new look. It feels great!
