Rolled Pants: Cute But How is it Done?

               Rolling your ants instantly makes you look seem effortless and it adds an element of personal style- it shows your hand. Plus it is an easy way to show off a great pair of shoes. However, the way you roll them can make or break and outfit.
              There are two styles you can roll: slouchy trousers, like boyfriend jeans, or  skinny jeans. In both cases, hefty fabrics like denim or twill work better than drape-y ones like silk or Tancel. Never try to roll wide-leg pants, since it is easy to catch your heel in the cuff. Not to mention the fact that it looks clunky  and undefined.
               As a rule it is best to roll the hem twice, with the width of one one and a half inches. Keep it mess; a roll that's too flat and neat looks contrived. With slim-cut jeans, I love a single fold that is two and a half inches wide for a 50's beatnik look. Or you can roll it twice and keep the cuff thin.
               Rolling the pants means you don't need to hem them, so you have a lot of flexibility with flats and heels. For a tomboy look, try oxfords; for a dressier spin, wear heels. But no wedges- they are too clunky.
                    To show off the skinniest part of your ankle, roll the pants to about four or five inches above the ankle bone. But if you're self-conscious about thick ankles, this look might not be for you.
