How to tuck your jeans: a quick instruction

The width of the label depends on the model of the jeans. Looser models go narrow lapel width of 2-3 cm, but narrow jeans look great with a lapels width of 5-6 cm. 

The number of layers in the lapel depends on the density of the jeans. So do not overdo it.

To look neat lapel, you can iron the jeans. So they will look neat and there is no risk that the jeans will suddenly return to their former state.

Not all jeans look good with lapels. Flared or palazzo jeans are better left at full length without weighing down the bottom of the pants.

Let's understand in more detail how to properly tuck jeans to look stylish, trendy, and fashionable. 

How to tuck jeans: cuff widths and pant models

Regular cuff

The easiest way to twist jeans is to make a lapel 2-2.5 cm wide. This tip hack can be used if your jeans are a little long, or you just want to diversify the model, show accent shoes, or beautiful ankles. This option will work with chinos, mom jeans, and other popular models.

On a side note: skinny jeans are a full-fledged model in itself. So they should not be tucked (and you can not always get it).

Wide lapels

A 4 to 5 cm wide cuff can look stylish if it fits your height, jeans model, and style. You can use this option with straight jeans or with culottes. 

But the main thing is not to cross the line and not to turn jeans into breeches. Then the style will come to naught, and trendy pants will not remain and traced. But it's worth experimenting. You can be inspired by street style images, look for fashion bloggers and try to implement the trend in your own closet.

As a side note: you should not do lapels on wide floor jeans or flip-flops. More often than not, it doesn't look quite appropriate. 

Slim cuffs

In case your skinny jeans are a little too long and don't quite have the right "accordion", shortening your legs, you can resort to lapels. Make narrow cuffs 1-1.5 cm wide. Turn up 1-2 times and the jeans will sit as it should.

As a side note: if you choose skinnies originally the right length, it's better to give up the cuffs. Narrow at the bottom of the pants can pass the ankle and the effect will be quite different. 

Plus one option

If you like streetwise, sloppy looks, then this lapel option is what you need. Carelessly twist your jeans a few times without using an iron (yay!) or trying to be perfect (you can finally turn off your inner perfectionist). Sloppy cuffs are perfect for boyfriend jeans, adding even more hooliganism to the look. 

On a side note: for such a variant it is best to choose loose jeans, with which the sloppy cuffs will look the most organic. 

And a few more words

There is no single correct option, on how to properly pucker jeans. The main thing is that you have to be comfortable. Just try to consider the proportions, and choose the right model of jeans and shoes. An ideal combo is provided for you as well as a good mood and pleasure from the reflection in a mirror.
