Men's Style Conundrums
Very often in men's fashion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you'll be forced to choose between theory and tradition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as in the case of cuffed pants. In theory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cuffed pants are supposed to look dated, and should be avoided whenever possible. In traditional practice - here meaning it was your dad who introduced the habit - it's fairly common. Should you leave the house with cuffed pants?
Perspective on Pants
Ideally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your pants are exactly the length you need them to be. That is, it's the ideal case with formal pants; cuffed pants are seen at the office at best, and rarely to evening galas and black tie affairs. For casual pants like chinos and jeans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cuffs are an entirely different ball game to play.
There's still something to be said for that perfect pair of jeans or chinos that are just the right length,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the cuffed style is much more acceptable once you've gone into casual fashion territory. While the lack of a cuff creates a very sharp and put-together image,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a cuff inspires more laid back, even rakish vibe. It's your way of telling the world that you do things your way and you like being comfortable - all through your clothes.
And that sentiment does translate through cuffed jeans and chinos. You show others that you like being comfortable no matter what, and that you wear your clothes instead of them wearing you. There is, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just a thin line dividing pants that look cool when rolled up and a pair that you should have brought to the tailor in the first place.
Commandeering Cuffed Style
First things first: a pants cuff - as with anything in men's fashion - looks best when it's done proportionally to your body. Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's still a measurement game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even with an aspect as seemingly insignificant as your cuffs. Pants cuffs go anywhere from three quarters of an inch to an inch and a half in thickness, with two inches as the maximum 'safe' length. Anything more will have length-altering effects on your body because it'll be too thick.
Two is the ideal number of folds for a cuff, the first to define the size and the second to secure the first in place. You don't have to bring out a ruler for exact measurements; the tip of your thumb to the first joint is usually a good rule of thumb. Once you've done the second fold, press the folds if you're wearing denim and scrunch it up for chinos. And never, ever fold inward; such faux pas was left behind in the 1990's. Fold them outward.
As if the fabric wasn't enough of a clue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cuffed casual pants like denims and chinos are even less formal than their straightened selves. That means you'll have to pair them with other pieces - shoes in particular - that are just as casual as they are. And no,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mixing and matching usually doesn't turn out well in this case.
Slightly wrinkled white shirts are already the most formal you could get with this style,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a necktie is definitely out of the question when you're wearing cuffed casual. Heck, wear a casual tee with the pants. Shoes should be something casual like sneakers (but not athletic shoes) or maybe even sandals. Leather is a no-no, and a canvas boat shoe is about as 'formal' as you should get here.
Must you wear cuffed pants? It's allowable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but not a recommended 24/7 fashion statement. It's also a style that should be done only with premium or high quality pants.
