or, just wear with western boots and go for that "look".
Cuffs don't work for me either. Maybe it's a US thing?
I do both cuffed or not. It certainly makes more of a statement cuffed. If I wear jeans in my vintage Country band I will cuff with boots--usually about 3"-4"--that would have been the look in the 40's-50's which our music is built on. I'll also do cuffs with retro sneakers or work type boots. If I wear cowboy boots with jeans uncuffed I always stack them--it's a sin to wear Wranglers or otherwise that are too short with boots--gotta be at least 2" longer than normal inseam. Here's a pic from yesterday's gig:
And kind of cool that an artist painted us on stage from the back/side of the stage--I'm trying to buy the painting--how could I pass it up!!
