On girls, it's fine. On guys, it looks marsupialed (IMHO).

Have them hemmed to the correct length. Or minimal cuff.

Looking at stacking - that's not for me; don't like the look at all.
I guess it hemming to length.

Thanks.

Can you find a good example? Not being sarcastic or anything like that. Its just that every stacking I've seen are like the pic posted earlier...and it never fails to remind me of leg warmers.

that's a tall order, you should check out the styleforum gallery and see for yourself.

nothing wrong with cuffing, a lot of guys on these forums do it well. i wouldn't recommend it if you're under, like, 5'11 though. it can make you look rather stout.
