Description
Sex: Both
Type of clothing: Jeans
When it was popular: 1988-1991
Description: Jeans and or khakis: Pull the bottom of pant leg out until you can't pull anymore. Fold over the material to the outside of your leg so it fits around your ankle tightly. Cuff it once. Cuff it again. Your jeans are french-rolled. Don't make it too tight though or the rolls will ride up your leg and you'll look like a dork. DO NOT wear socks with your khakis and loafers if you're a guy! The french roll must be on the outside of the leg so that the crease from the roll faces in opposite directions....that's how we did it.

LOL- I am really laughing out loud!!! My husband and I have talked about this style before. I THINK it was more popular in the midwest. Man was that a hot way to wear clothes... blah! I would just throw up if my kids started doing that! lol

Here in Midwest you were not cool unless you rolled your jeans, and clean rolls meant you were even cooler. Because your creases were as perfect as you could get. I showed my son this one day and then I got the comment that I was a dork....LOL

We called it tight rolling at my school. Girls would tight roll their pants and wear 2 pairs of slouch socks sometimes. When I would try on new pants at the store, I would make sure I could tight roll them nicely or I wouldn't buy them. jeez! I also have a dorky 36 year old cousin that still does that.
