I find a lot of editorials doing the cuffing thing where they fold up the pant leg up just enough to let you see their ankle. I think it's a good look. Makes you look a little nonchalant. They do this especially when spring and summer approaches, which is perfect for us because if you want to show-off some of that ankle, where else better to do it than right here in the tropics where it's freakin hot and humid all year round. Instead of having your pants skim your shoes, cuffing your pants may also be a way to ventilate your feet...kinda. And if you want to flash your shoes, all the better!
But be warned, do NOT cuff your pants until it hits mid-calf. Just an inch or so above the ankle will do. You want to look casual, not like you're going off to work in the paddy fields.
A great way to cuff your pants is to fold them up two to three times (nothing more or else it'll be too thick) and them scrunching them up a little so that it doesn't look so neat.
Or if your pants are already perfectly cropped to the desired length, you can rock them as it is.
But more importantly, what do you think?
Stay tuned for more.

cuffing ? absolutely fugly.
It's fugly if you're doing it with the whole oversized t-shirt nerdy glasses sport shoe look. But when done properly with good shoes and a haphazardous cuff which don't channel geek-chic, then I personally would go with it.
its effing fugly when no socks...
mebbe men's ankles r not meant to be seen. only ours :P
it looks like you bought a pair of pants that are too short for you...
JS: Maybe. How about flip flops then? Just have to make sure their ankles are not unsightly.
Jhei: But you gotta let you feet breathe once in a while! It's freakin hot here!
