How do you roll up YOUR cuffs? Do you have a method I didn't mention? Let me know!

[@clarenceclarence9529]

Pin roll for subtlety, or a deep cuff if I’m looking to stand out.

[@chan_otz2241]

😅

[@DemetriosLevi]

I just started pin rolling my jeans, and honestly, it looks the cleanest imo and I love it

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yep it’s a great look!

[@divisionagentbailey6727]

Pin rolll?

[@divisionagentbailey6727]

Zak Taylor Pin roll?

[@kevinpollart7090]

Pegging has always been in style in certain circles.... oh wait this is about jeans

[@EffortlessGentTV]

nailed it 🔨

[@thian_3825]

i-

[@michaelbaird7380]

I get it, cause your talking about chinos

[@ichista]

How good is getting pegged

[@piche9468]

Lmao

[@kelinjohnson7421]

Cool video man. I normally like to cuff roll my jeans and sometimes i guess depending on the mood im in ill leave it straght or cuff rolled.

[@SavageSenzu]

Does this only work on slimmer or tapered chinos? I feel like it looks silly doing this on just a regular pair as it sticks out too much

[@pauliaccio1895]

I usually cuff jeans only to prevent the ink from rubbing off on and staining my sneakers. On that note, any thoughts/suggestions? Are the only two options in the dark jean/light sneaker life to either cuff or have stained shoes?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Basically, in my experience heh. It's gonna crock on your shoes if you don't cuff no matter what. They might have a spray or something to combat that, but I cuff all my pants anyway so I've never looked into it much

[@UrbanProjects]

Pin rolling is the way I like it...

[@bshabbir16]

You need more subscribers. As long as you don’t put out videos solely for the purpose of promoting brands. Keep it real!!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Thanks! Appreciate that. I do work with brands I love but not every video i put out has a sponsor, if that’s what you mean

[@russki1978]

Can you do this only with skinny jeans or also with looser ones? I mean, obviously, you can, but will the fashion police arrest me if I do it with not so close-fitting pants?

[@saintmichael8167]

Great vid -- thank you!

[@PPN1942]

I wish you didn't do the pinroll in black cuz it was hard to see...but I got you. Thanks for the tips.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yeah I know, sorry about that. I’ll probs do another video about it

[@mmcgear4376]

how to make the one fold stay like that throughout the day

[@wallyg77]

Good vid Brotha, I usually just do a one fold for jeans/chinos

[@EffortlessGentTV]

yeah same!

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

I am a short man and every pants I own ( 12 years old .. ) are too long, even when I cuff them it looks odd. I will try those methods x

[@tobyey9134]

LED Ring looking dope this time lol

[@EffortlessGentTV]

haha i did it for the people

[@tobyey9134]

Effortless Gent my man!

[@CeeStyleDj]

I never understood saying "the right" way in fashion since fashion is subjective. Depending on the year, over the past say, five years, cuffing your jeans would be either cool or passè. And what about mom jeans on girls? You would be laughed at if you wore them five years ago but today? I do appreciate people putting up videos like this but it gives the impression that there was a right or wrong way to do Style on something simple like jean length or cuffs.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

I agree with you and I feel the same way. I often talk about how there is no “right” or “wrong”... but at the same time i have to meet people where they are. And when someone searches for how to cuff jeans they’re looking for the “right” way to do it ;)

[@CeeStyleDj]

@@EffortlessGentTV I get ya. I was thinking about that after I posted it. Sorry if I came off harsh. It's great that you make these tutorials for people.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

@@CeeStyleDj not harsh at all! thanks for watching and for the comment

[@waqarmehdi4394]

Let's be honest. Most of us are here for the pin roll fold.

[@janicepeng9237]

This was great until you tried to demonstrate with black jeans... Even with my brightness turned up all the way I couldn't tell what the hell was going on lol

[@EffortlessGentTV]

ha my bad! i'll probably end up making another one ;)

[@janicepeng9237]

@@EffortlessGentTV That'd be awesome! Thanks for replying :3

[@Simplystimulating]

Still can’t learn been so many months

[@EffortlessGentTV]

bummer

[@SmartAlx]

#3 is also called "tuck and roll"

[@EffortlessGentTV]

like when you're on fire? tuck duck and roll?

[@SmartAlx]

Is that like, "stop, drop, and roll?"

[@SmartAlx]

I think you're confusing that with the book, "duck, tuck and roll." Duck in that case isn't an action. It's a character. A duck. You aren't supposed to duck. There is also an action that you can learn in martial arts, gymnastics, or paintballing called "tuck and roll." You basically dive to the ground and roll into a ball to slow your momentum. But that's not what this is. Maybe the phrase came from that because the generation of kids that popularized that style of rolling up pants also had PE classes that taught things like gymnastics, and the tuck and roll was one of the things they taught the kids. Not sure if kids these days get to learn that in school.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Haha that was just a bit of sarcasm that didn’t translate, sorry I should’ve used an emoji 😉, but I love how many phrases similar to “tuck and roll” you know 🤪

[@jamesturner961]

Why is you cuffing your pants? And then iron them if you earn them you can cut them before you put them on they will look better and they would stay that way all day. Why are you covering them after you put them on you should already know the length If He Did It Before? Like with me I cuff my jeans but I already know what the length is. So I measure up and get both of them the exact same way and the back of the exact same way, too. It's all around. It's the same. I don't have to guess every time I put them on because I already know what the link is going to be. Makes it look nicer than Regal Pantry putting on.

[@user-zv9km7wg7r]

Hi

[@EffortlessGentTV]

hey there

[@tlotlisomohlabane]

No wrong or right way, it's a choice.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Wrong, but do you 😎

[@billybadass8690]

wow I’m early

[@EffortlessGentTV]

yeah you are

[@lyssa1092]

i cuff mine 1-3 times lol

[@jamesturner961]

He has tell you right you do better on your cuffs on a stay that way but if you are in your pants, then cut them before you put them on you don't have to take them back off cuz you'll wrinkle your pants and I'll look like you didn't iron because you keep taking off and put them on you put them on one time after you come from and you never got to take them back off until you come back home. It looks nice. What is he talking about? That's just my opinion.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Ive read this comment a few times and I literally cannot decipher it. Hope you figured out your cuffing issue tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jamesturner961]

What are you talkin about if you have a wider leg or you have straight leg jeans that taper looks better than skinny jeans with pennies beans look like it's going to look like a female. When you cuff your jeans. So, what are you talkin about?

[@qkyouya]

Nobody: Pop punk kids:

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Good one!

[@henrikeriksen7012]

In my opinion no show socks should only be worn with shorts. If you’re wearing jeans, you should wear socks. Just my opinion.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

But what if you wanted the no show sock look with jeans?

[@henrikeriksen7012]

Effortless Gent I would never want that look, personally. I always wear regular socks with jeans, cargo pants, chinos, suits. I just don’t think ankles fit the aesthetic of long pants. With shorts on the other hand, I (almost) always go no show.

[@cpisaneschi7345]

The last food was good and all but try not using such a dark pair of jeans when you’re trying to do a video and trying to show you how to do it it literally just look like shit I’m sorry buddy

[@Straten100]

Though this was a 70s thing.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

cuffing? no

SOMEONE'S in need of a haircut, amirite?!

[@lenniebruce]

This is all for camp/bad dressers! No sock show is a major no, it looks like you're in the shoes bare feet and looks terrible, unless you like to look like Timmy Mallet or Pee Wee Herman :)

[@EffortlessGentTV]

If you say so 😉

[@LSofJC]

Glenn McKee it’s modern fashion

[@lenniebruce]

Fernando Sanchez modern madness along with ripped jeans, fashion disasters that will be remembered for just that ✌🏽

[@Luckyboyee777]

Depends on who you want to impress. Wear it like your friends or the majority of people you want to impress otherwise be a rebel and do the opposite. Just find a way to fit into society but it's hard because fashion changes every year and corporations take my $$$$
