Tight rolled pants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tight rolled pants was a fad of the 1980s and early 1990s in which girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll. Tight-rolling is occasionally seen today among scene or youth culture people.[citation needed]
Also referred to as French rolled pants.[citation needed]
This fad is thought to be originated by the fashion icon, Cameron Cole, who was best known for his work with the New Kids on the Block.[citation needed]
