Unique Tips and Tricks for Cuffing Your Pants This Spring

Do you feel like cuffing something? Grab a pair of full-length pants in our closet, you know, that pair endlessly worn the same way for years (and years)? Grab ‘em and let's get creative by styling our trusty tried and true pants in a different way…Cuffing!

Cuffing, the beautiful art of rolling up fabric, allows footwear to be your focus.

Let’s cuff it up together and explore my top cuffing tips and tricks!

Chooka Mules are the perfect on the go slip-on-shoe. An easy on/off, keep next-to-the-front-door staple shoe, deserves a breezy easy cuff. The backless structure of clogs and mules beg to be highlighted with a cuff

On the outside of the end of your pant leg fold about a half inch of fabric together.

Fold this fabric to the side to align with your pants.

Keeping the fabric held tight, roll your pants up as you normally would.

Voila! A tight form fitting pant cuff to protect your pants from the elements.

Have your waterproof Chooka boots and fuzzy socks ready! No soggy pant hems, cuffing pants lifts pants hem off the wet ground. Here is an amazing trick for a simple fix.

Here’s one of my fav ways for a quick a casual, cute way to cuff your jeans while on your way out the door!

Pull out a comfy Mom Jean or Baggy Jean from your close

From the end of the pant, roll up once 1 inch and 1/2

The key is to not ‘perfectly’ roll these up, instead, keep folds relaxed.

Next, causally roll up until the cuff has a half inch space between the mule and pant. Important to pay attention to where the cuff physically hits your ankle, too much lower gives the appearance of drowning or being lost in your look, while the cuff placed any higher, results in high watering!

To secure your cuff please take only the back side and twist the cuff in a bit tighter than the front

As this is a looser cuff style, I often like to add in an additional reliable step to further secure the cuff. On the inside of the pant with safety pins for a long-lasting look.

 CHELSEAS

A sleek, simple chelsea is prime for pairing with a sleek pant cuff. I love wearing a simple tight, small cuff to keep my pants from competing with my footwear, especially more delicate footwear like Chooka Chelseas. Similar to mule cuffing, just a significantly tighter, more concise, slimmer roll.

On the outside of the end of your pant leg fold about a half inch of fabric together.

Fold this fabric to the side to align with your pants

Keeping the fabric held tight, roll your pants up 1” inch, repeat.

The pant should be 2”-3” inches above your ankle bone

Not sold on cuffing yet? Instead, slip on skinny pants and tall boots for an easy, breezy, quick streamlined everyday look. Chooka to the rescue with their tall boots. No one's gonna' know… they'll know. They're NOT gonna' know!

 

Happy Cuffing!
