Harry Potter Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Is this a new fashion wearing jeans with turnups, certainly not a good look imo. Seem to be more folk going for this look, thoughts folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I It was certainly the fashion late fifties sixties, so its not new its just another return to the old times.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systemx Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) My Levis and Wranglers always had a one inch turnup in the early seventies mainly to show off my shiny Doc Martens, Checked shirt with thin braces were also worn with a denim jacket or a Crombie(red lining pulled throgh the top pocket to look like a hanky) A Harrington jacket was also worn on occasion Edited April 17, 2019 by systemx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I sometimes wear turn ups with my dessie boots. There's ways to wear them and if it's a smart pair of jeans and smart shoes, top and jacket then why not? Also if your jeans are like an elephants foreskin at the bottom then turn ups are probably necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Used to do this in the late 80s. I'm sure I would still look as good doing it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Its a route I invariably have to go down thanks to having a long back but short legs. Why do jean lengths always seem to be in odd numbers? An even number would probably do me. 34 minutes ago, Mac_fae_Gillie said: Terrible look. Chinos about the only thing turn ups work with.

Incidently for the true, hardcore fashionista's amongst us, I noticed today that there appears to be a 25% off sale on the Tui range in Sainsburys.

Morgan Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 You need a crisp seam pressed into your jeans too, right down the middle, back and front. According that is, to some of the Beau Brummells over here. On topic: A big no to turn-ups, looks shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found Jean lengths to be in even numbers, but trousers in odd. By tailoring I assumed he meant getting them shortened to suit. If you spend £100+ on a pair of jeans then and extra £10-£15 to get taken up isn’t that bad, which is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjcc Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I’ve done that before. Got a couple pairs that are slightly too long for my wee legs. Means I end up standing on them when not wearing trainers in the house, so for comfort I’ll roll them up like that fashionable geezer in the OP. If I go out thy get rolled down again.

Being in the bog standard Regular 5’ 9” club sometimes a 32” inside leg can look like a 36” inside leg on me on account of my short arse legs.

Bozi Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Have done it before, with the right jeans it can look smart. What I can't abide with "modern fashion" though is the turned up chinos/smart shoes/no socks look... Its not hobo chic, you just look like a pretentious knob Or even worse the massive white socks look... Aye virgin socks, that's a real good look I'm old now Edited April 17, 2019 by Bozi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
