Do you bend your jeans?
Make an argument for or against it.

>bend

[Anonymous No.8578997]

>>8578988
Bend? do you mean cuffing/rolling them up? I only roll up my pants if I'm wearing my Parda Hightops, or if I wearing this one particular pair of jeans that I own.

English is not my first language. Yes, I meant cuffed jeans.

[Anonymous No.8579028]

>>8578988
I do. I want to show off my selvedge to let everyone know that i am superior and they are all plebeians.

[Anonymous No.8579035]

I triple bend my jeans, sometimes I also pin-pend them,
mostly because my jeans have 34" legs when I usually wear 32" legs.

Showing off selvege is a side product and not intended to show off.

[Anonymous No.8579049]

Yes I do, in fact some of my friends in england call me a "bender" because of it

While we are at it: Shirt in or shirt out?

[Anonymous No.8579074]

>>8579072
casual - out
dress - in

[Anonymous No.8579086]

>>8579072
if angry = in
if happy = out

[Anonymous No.8579089]

>>8579072
In always. It's more flattering to the body.

I don't wear jeans because I've never liked them on my body, not since I was a kid.

But I do bend (honestly, I like that word better than "cuff" even though no one would know what you meant without the picture) my pants sometimes. It's not a for or against thing, but a situational one.

Reasons to bend:

- To clear your pants of the ground, a bike chain, etc. This is the origin of the practice, people emulating the practical use for style purposes.

- To alter the silhouette of the pants, to make them seem floatier or add a taper, or to eliminate or add stacking, the effect dependent on how you fold the fabric.

- A particular case of the previous: to "amplify your footwear," as Kith puts it describing their pants with an elastic cuff built in. When you don't have that, you can bend them as shown, or, more commonly and effectively, do a pinroll, pic related.

- >>8579028, which sort of depends how you feel about selvedge. Some people appreciate it as a cool, small detail with some history, others don't care about it, others just use it to show they spent money.

FWIW, I'm in the don't care about it camp.

More info.

- I hesitate to mention this at all because /fa/ has a tendency to blow any kind of subtle, complex, contextually variable thing up into an absolute law to lord over others with while you angst about and cry yourself to sleep in front of the mirror with, but it *can* very subtly modulate the gender signaling of an outfit. Cuffed up jeans are both short girls in mens' or long inseam jeans and burly rugged heritage selvedge dudes.

If you're wondering about it? Look in the mirror and feel if it looks like you or not. There's your answer.

To yours, maybe. I've got long legs and a short torso, and I hate the times I have to tuck it in for formality. Usually I'll keep a jacket on then to balance things out.

[Anonymous No.8579128]

>>8579072
Shirt out cause I'm not fat at all, I just get those loves handles if its too tight.

Stop being this critical. English is my first language and I understood it perfectly.

not necessarily. I do it for the same reasons. keeps your pants from getting dirt/snow/water from puddles/etc on them.

fashionable or not, it's practical

pretty much all the time yeah, pinroll everythang

yesterday got denim residue over my new af1s from forgetting to roll, managed to save it with some water and a cloth, but i learned a valuable lesson

[Anonymous No.8583474]

I'm about to cop some raw acne denim, I'm 6'3 but I usually wear 32 length in black jeans cause I don't like the cuffed look on them, but was thinking it might be safer to go 34 in raws so if I cuff em they wont bleed on my shoes and also look better. thoughts?

[Anonymous No.8584004]

>>8579072
Depends on your personal build and the fit of the shirt. For example if you have broad shoulders and the shirt is regular fit, tuck it in, because otherwise, it'll look like a potato sack.

The time when tucking in was social suicide are long over, you see it everywhere these days, so if you need it, do it.

[Anonymous No.8584016]

I don't roll jeans, but I do roll every time I wear shorts. Uncuffed shorts just feel wrong.

[Anonymous No.8585158]

>>8578988
you fucking bet
i bend the shit outta them

[Anonymous No.8585192]

I don't because I'm short and rolling jeans makes me look even shorter. I think if I was anorexic it might look OK but I'm an adult male so it just looks weird.

[Anonymous No.8585345]

>>8578988
I roll them up whenever the fuck I want, because if you don't like it fuck you.

[Anonymous No.8586432]

pls respond

[Anonymous No.8587264]

>>8578988
every time i see people with their jeans rolled up at the bottom wearing boots that resemble doc martens, i immediately think skinhead

[Anonymous No.8587994]

>>8578988
I don't. I dislike the way they look if not at full length (I prefer the end of my jeans to graze the laces on my shoes) but I don't inherently hate the style.

>>8579072
Shirt out during summer, sleeves rolled up to just before the elbow. In when it's cold out.

[Anonymous No.8588058]

I have cuff and i still have stacks (unhemmed raws).

Is doing both at the same time a no-no?

[Anonymous No.8588087]

>>8579072
Shirt always in, don't want to look like a scrub.

[Anonymous No.8588109]

>>8579108
how do you make the cuff get so tight? When I cuff mine they simply look like OP's

[Anonymous No.8589070]

>>8588109
Don't do it, it looks fucking stupid. I don't know what /fa/'s recent obsession with pinrolling is, but it looks dumb and basically just shows off how skinny your chicken leg ankles are.

[Anonymous No.8589084]

>>8579108
you're a cool guy anon

[droak No.8589093]

not really, just one pair of jeans and only sometimes.
i prefer tailoring my pants if i want them shorter.

[Anonymous No.8589344]

>>8578988

I roll all my jeans to prevent wearing at the bottom.
Also I think it looks neat, especially with DMs.

You must have short legs, I'm 5'11"and I wear 32

[Anonymous No.8589778]

just depends on the style you like
