Stirrup Leggings/Tights

[gosh]

Both Forever 21 and American Apparel are selling them...

are stirrup pants/leggings/tights making a comeback?

 

[joie]

I sincerely hope not!

Stirrup pants were made for riding horses! Now, granted, jodhpurs are rumored to be making a comeback as well but I refuse to welcome stirrup pants into my closet.

i dont think i have worn stirrup pants since I was like 7! a mistake i will never make again - they were black crushed velvet! Also had a pillar red pair!

Now usually I love unusual trends, but this one I just don't think I'll be participating in. Unless... the tights are tight all around the leg because in the 80's/90's, women wore them tight around the thighs but loose in the knees (so unflattering). They also wore these things on their own! I would wear them underneath something like normal tights/leggings.

Stirrup leggings are what the whole world feared would happen when leggings made a comeback

I like black stirrup tights for ballet. I don't know if I'd do them for a normal outfit though...

*gasp*

They're not that dramatically different front leggings imo....though, I think they are already big in some places.

that would be funny
but you know, they are just like leggings/tights and those are in fashion now, so you never know

but i can't see any use for them other than as tights. if they are pants, they are hideous! i don't think a girl would want her hips to look so big
i wonder how it would be for a guy

 

[~Blythe~]

Nup, not doing that again!

I'm seriously considering trying it under a knit short dress tonight.

I got a pair from urban outfitters

I recently bought a pair of black stirrup leggings at Wet Seal for $3.00. I got them because they were cheap & thought they would work great UNDER boots in the fall winter. I have no intention of anyone seeing that Im actually wearing stirrup leggings lol.

 

[two months off]

oh noes!

 

[gosh]

I have to admit, I would definately be willing to embrace this trend.

I wore them with pride in kindergarden and I'll do it again!

 

[susie_bubble]

Well technically, they're more flattering than leggings because they sort of extend your legs a bit and when worn with similar colour shoes, they're sort of like tights! I kind of like them..... but the American Apparel ones are way too sheer.....

 

[pinksatin]

I did wear them last night but not with a dress. With metallic bronze heels, a frayed denim mini and a black lacy cami. Just to go out to bars/etc. I was surprised but everyone embraced it and thought it was really hot so I guess they can't be that bad. I didn't buy new ones either. I wore my old black capezios from ballet. Complete with runs.

Very trendy.... They're the cousin of the "oh so trendy" leggings..... their 10 seconds of fame is coming.....

And if American Apparel is carrying them, yes, they are going to be big, but probably not for the good reasons.

I don't like them that sheer either...
I'm going to stick with tights.
