Trend Watch: Stirrup Pants
October 1, 2007 Posted in Style
Call me crazy, but once I caught wind that stirrup pants are back in vogue I squirmed a little in my seat.
I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking I’m about to unload a 300 word rant on why they were left in the 80′s for a reason.
Nope! Sorry to disppoint, but I am pumped to see that seeming unflattering bottoms are back!
Most people will say if you’re going to go for the skinny look just go with skinny jeans (and if you’re seriously behind–leggings), but why can’t we have a little fun with our trends?
Nobody is saying you have to pair these with an oversized sweater and a side ponytail…just because it’s a revival trend doesn’t mean it can’t be modernized.
I say, pair the pants with simplified, streamlined, modern pieces. Some gold hoops here or some silver bangles there will pull your look together marvoulously.
Keep it monochromatic! If you’re going to rock the ankle straps, now is not the time to overload on color or pattern. Personally, I’d keep the outfit all black and pair it with a hot pair of pumps (any color or style!).
Most importantly? If you don’t like it don’t wear it. Nothing is more obvious than a girl who’s uncomfortable in her clothes. Being a slave to trends is tacky enough, but if you are clearly hating every second of it, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your wardrobe…and your outlook!
Think you’re ready for some stirrup action? Check them out here!

I guess Mary and Darcy don't have the bodies to wear them. I'm glad they're back.

Thank God stirrup pants are back in fashion! I have been wearing these since they first came out. I have almost worn out the ones I have and have found only a few looking at garage sales and thrift stores. I am going to stock up!

I really don't think they are much different then leggings (they are basically the same thing they just have a strap on the bottom) When leggings first came out I thought they were stirrup pants just without the stirrups, so don't be so quick to say "ew"
Plus 80's style is kinda cute.
