As summer winds down, it's time to swap light outfits and sandals for warmer layers. Yet one spot might stay exposed: the ankles. You've likely spotted men cuffing—or rolling up—their chinos and jeans this season. Australia's Executive Style calls it ideal for seamless shifts from home breakfast to office and evening drinks. It's undeniably hot right now, but will it endure? UK site Metro consulted stylist Marika Page for insights.
Page predicts the look will evolve: "Most roll up pants in spring/summer with sneakers for a lighter feel. It fades in winter but returns next summer—differently." Details on the shift? We'll wait and see, as the Brits say. She notes it flatters shorter men but can disrupt proportions on taller, older guys with long legs. "To elongate legs, skip cuffing—the jean color should blend seamlessly to the hem." Single or double cuff? Judge by the vibe. Ladies, if your guy loves this style, pair it with patterned socks for flair and warmth—no bare ankles in chillier weather.
