Ask a Stylist: How to Cuff Your Jeans

Beauty

To cuff or not to cuff?! If the 90s fashion trend of tight-rolling your pants is the only thing that comes to mind, then you’re missing out on a huge trend right now. But don’t worry, Mamanista friend and stylist Shannon from Layered By Cake is here to walk you through the how and why of properly cuffing your jeans. If you do it right, cuffing jeans or colored denim can not only elongate your legs but also provides the perfect opportunity to show off this season’s booties. During warmer months, cuffing jeans adds a breezy, laid back edge to your jeans and flip flops.

Cuff on, Mamanistas, cuff on!

This Mamanista started as a young fashionista when my mom bought me a Fashion Plates drawing set and Superstar Barbie Fashion Face for my birthday in the 80s. For work, I gravitate toward effortless chic and look for great jewelry and shoes to make my outfit. I’d like to think shoes, not diamonds are really a girl’s best friend. For the weekends, I embrace a bit more of my boho chic edge and choose flowy, comfortable pieces that can take me from the ball fields with my kids to out and about around town with no more than a change of shoes and jewelry. No lounge pants and slippers or mom jeans for this mom!
