We're Cuffing Our Jeans Again - Our Best Styling Tips For The Throwback Trend

People have been cuffing their jeans for ages now for practical and fashion purposes. Originally done because the hems were simply too long, cuffing the bottoms of jeans became a trend for stylish reasons. Back in the '80s, it was the in-thing to taper the hems of jeans and roll them up to your ankles. When skinny jeans had their time, it was fashionable to cuff the ends to show off your shoes or to make the pants more summer-friendly.

Lately, with the resurgence of big, baggy styles, cuffing jeans took a backseat, but it's trending once again. This time around, it not only looks good on skinny silhouettes but also on straight-leg jeans and even wider cuts. Spotted in People, Kim Cattrall was seen sporting cuffed jeans in July with a blue button-down shirt and chic white loafers for a super casual take on the trend. While a cuffed hem isn't exactly high fashion, you can elevate this style by putting together the right outfit. Or, lean into the relaxed style with comfy sneakers or flats. Make your cuffs super tiny or extra large if your jeans are on the long side. With a trend this versatile, we predict you'll be cuffing all your fave denim.

A pair of colorful heels and a long duster or blazer are the perfect finishing touches.
