Don’t do
- Don’t pin jeans that aren’t stylish. Jeans or work pants that are not stylish will not look any better with a hem.
- Don’t roll your jeans unless you’re wearing shoes that are worth the effort.
- Don’t roll super skinny jeans or baggy jeans. They will never look good.
- Don’t make the pinroll too big or small. 1-2 cm is fine. No more and no less.
- Don’t pin your jeans if they are too short or too long. If they are too short, they won’t roll properly and if they are too long, they will bulge over the pinroll. While a pinroll pin can hide a slightly longer jean that has not been altered, it is always best to choose a jean that is already the right length to wear. The pinroll will shorten it to about ankle length.
