  4. Laughing so hard I can't breathe! I WORE these in junior high school. And hated them then! What was up with the little strap around the foot??? It drove me crazy. Would always pop off then your pant leg would be sort of flopping around your ankle.

  6. I hate to say this... in the winter I wear stirrup pants under my ski bibs. That way I don't have fight with trying tuck everything down in snow boots. Forgive me!

  8. I had a pair of those in bright orange. Not a good color for me in any light. We're talking 1980's here, of course.

  9. The work wonders in a ski boot, riding boots, and not so much on the fashion runway.

  10. This is second only to the "woman's onsie". That crazy shirt that snaps at the nether-region. It was popular for a moment in the nineties, which caused grief for anyone who had more than one drink and had to go to the bathroom.

  11. They look really cool with some jelly shoes and leg warmers. Really.

  12. They are soooo late 80's! I remember when I wore them and thought I was soooo hot ;-)

  13. Oh how convenient! This way your pant legs will always stay down and straight- never again will they go bunching up around your knees! You know, since so many of us have that problem!

  15. Ahem. If I may interject here.

    I LOVED stirrup pants. Especially when worn with my ginormous shoulder pads back in the 80s (when I was 3). I felt so tiny waisted and long long legged. Yessireee.

  17. I had some green (!) ones in the late 80s. Complete with those feral chunky socks and hiking boots. I was so hot!

  18. Had the hot pink ones here! I'm with Dee, they looked smashing with the boots and offsetted the width and height of the big,big hair of those days!

  19. I love them! If I wasn't shaped the way I am, I would totally wear them.

  22. I hate to say it - but they're coming back!!! I saw them in two different stores the other day while I was out. Couldn't believe it.

    I'm ashamed to admit that I had a couple of pairs too :)

  23. LOL! I just clicked on your blog and those stirrups are the first thing I see! Love it:)

  24. those should stay buried in the 80s where they belong. Best worn with long t-shirts or big floppy jumpers and thick socks over the top of the stirrups. ew.
