The Lookbook of Cuffed Jeans

Good news for petites (of which I am one), our pant hems are now at the heart of trends! They are just waiting to be showcased for all to see and have even inspired new cuts of jeans. Thus, even those of us who are a few centimeters taller can adopt this new fashion detail.

Moreover, worn discreetly with a tone-on-tone hem, or with a contrasting color to make a bigger impression, this cuff infiltrates all styles.

Machine Hem or Hand Hem? It’s Up to You!

We observe two schools regarding cuffed jeans. On one side, the hand-hemmed cuff, and on the other, the machine-made cuff. The former offers a slightly more natural pant bottom, which can evolve according to your desires, especially in terms of height, thickness, and the lines it adds to your pants.

While the latter gives a more sophisticated and polished look to an outfit. This type of cuffed jeans will maintain a better shape throughout the day, thanks to its seams, and will keep its straight and perfect silhouette. However, it lacks the versatility of the former.

Which Model of Cuffed Jeans to Choose?

The style and height of the desired hem will determine the length of the pants to buy. If you are not very tall, a basic jean can quickly resemble two elephant trunks on your legs, and thus, bingo, you already benefit from extra fabric to create a hem!

However, for taller silhouettes, we have been seeing new pant lengths appear on the shelves over the past few months. While keeping timeless or trendy cuts, like mom jeans, balloon, bootcut or regular, brands are adding a few extra centimeters to allow you to create a perfectly fitted hem to your height and the shoes worn.

In summary, the perfect model of cuffed jeans mainly depends on your height as well as the style and versatility sought. Thus, to create several looks with one pair of jeans, a hand-hemmed model will be more appreciated. While for having a cuffed jeans with a beautiful height that retains its elegance, we will lean towards a sewn model. Note that the quality of the jeans as well as its rigidity will affect the appearance and the hold of the cuff of the pants.
