This post was contributed by Tim to Pinoy Guy Guide and discusses a new style of folding-up your jeans. Read on to find out how.
Tired of your old pair of jeans? Thinking of throwing away all your old straight cut denims in favor of skinny jeans? Or felt like your old pants are no longer of good use?
Recession in the economy can be a hinder in buying new clothes and it even makes some fashion savvy guys drive away from updating their fashion pieces. But who says that recession should make any Juan Dela Cruz stick back to their old 90’s high cut blue jeans and baggy white t-shirt?
We’ve read it in PGG that fashion need not to be expensive. It is how you put things together and how you carry it with machismo confidence. So how about taking out your old, outdated pair of jeans in the closet and bring it back to life with style?
I tried experimenting some of my old pair of straight cut denims, and tried folding it up until the knees (or below the knees, it depends on you) making it look like a new pair of Capri denims paired with rubber shoes, sneakers, or ordinary flip-flops. I find this idea brilliant and cost-saving by making an old pair of jeans useful again in one way or the other. I mean, if we do fold our shirt’s or polo shirt’s sleeves an inch or so to showcase our biceps and to feel fitter, then why not do the same with your bottoms?
So how about you? Has the recent recession affected the way you spend your money for style and fashion? What other possible ways can you think of to help us in maximizing our old clothes?

I guess this is for taller guys and those that are gym-fit.. opinion ko lang.. kasi ako di ko bagay kasi maliit lang ako, lalo akong liliit hahaha..
lumang pants? ipa tailor nalang kay manang hehe
Thanks for the good advice.
P.S.
Is Tim a student at Benilde? Since his background is the new building in Benilde.

Hi. Yes I am from CSB, but different building. 🙂
Hello. I’m thin and I want to know if this will fit me?
pwede na rin. same reason nauso yung may zipper to allow the pants to transform into capri.
yah why not? in abroad uso narin ang pag fold ng pants. pero siempre depende sa nagdadala. wori kolang for short men, di ba magmumukha silang mas maliit.?
That’s certainly interesting. How does it translate to the real world though?
Tim is crouching in the picture, and he looks pretty cool. Does the same look work standing up? Or will I have to crouch all day to look cool?
looks cheap lalo na pag super loose ung pants mo i rather use old skinny jeans den cut mo konti parang baston cut ng 80s pero dapat maganda fit ng pants mo to look good tpos u can wear it wd loafers or maybe suede shoes parang john loyd lng hehehe
lalo na if short guy ka den ur going to fold ur boot cut or maybe straight cut jeans mo magmumukha kang dewende nyan dapat if ur not that tall ok cguro if skinny of slim fit jeans ang gamitin den fold …;p
Hello. Ok kaya to sa mga payatot tulad ko? Any comment you can give?
ok lng naman cguro s payatot if ung jeans mo maganda ang fit sau pero kung too loose ung fit ng pants pangit tingnan
….cguro if my luma ka na skiny u can use dat or new skiny fold mo lng xa .
honestly, i think it looks cheap. it would be better kung papa-alter into shorts na lang (like slate shorts) more tasteful..
if you think di ka comfortable then wag na lang.. astig si Tim kasi confident sya sa pix.. very cool 🙂
nice advise tim.. hmmm sayang naibigay ko na lumang pants ko! hehehe

Who is in that pic? He actually looks cool. He can save more money in that way of fashion.
Ok. old straight cut jeans folding it up to be stylish, maganda rin ito patungan ng mga nauusong shirt ngayon, yung parang semi-formal, tapos white sneakers or black will do. go for a stylish necktie too, i got one from SOLO, maganda tong ganitong porma.. you’ll appear younger in this kind of style. dapat maganda lang talaga bagsak ng jeans mo nito para di masagwa tignan. hehe astig to..
mas maganda sana pag hindi nakikita yung socks niya.
