You say that leggings flatter all calf shapes. And that they accentuate and streamline a curvier calf. However, I can't seem to find a pair that does it for my fat chunky thighs and calves. Do you have any advice on that? Thanks!! Hey!! You say that leggings flatter all calf shapes. And that they accentuate and streamline a curvier calf.

Love them! Arty, unfussy, practical, inexpensive and extremely comfortable. I really liked the idea of stirrup detailing on tights instead of pants, and what an improvement. It makes perfect sense to wear the look like a light-footed dancer instead of an 80’s ice-cream cone. But stirrup leggings aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and I won’t take it personally if you don’t fancy the look on me. [...] [...] True to my word, I recently gave stirrup leggings a whirl. Love them!

Phoebe, I agree - it's either too cold for me to wear leggings, or too warm (so warm I wouldn't want to wear hose either, only stockings or fishnets). But I like the look of them under a short tunic-dress, just like I like the look of skinny jeans or clamdiggers with the same time of top. Angie, what do you think about non-black leggings?

My problems always: You kind of have to wear your shoes without socks or tights, so it´s either too warm to wear leggings or too cold to go out with your feet naked in the shoes... a classical dilemma!

I guess I just don't associated stirrup pants with dance but with the sort of looks you were describing ie "boxy oversized sweaters and scrunchy socks". So I am willing to keep an open mind. (Not that I have bought any leggings of any type yet; in fact it was only a year of 2 I threw out my 1993 ones which I kept to wear under pants on cold days!)

I wear the crop version with mid thigh and knee length dresses and heels, wedges and flats. I am getting ready to purchase ankle length tights as well. I saw some really cute black animal print from Arden B. I think the leggings look is really hip and stylish. I may even try to experiment wearing them in different ways like with skirts also. :) I love leggings! I wear the crop version with mid thigh and knee length dresses and heels, wedges and flats.

Angie isn't asking anyone to wear these with boxy oversized sweaters and scrunchy socks! I think it looks completely different from what I saw in the 80's. I have seen stirrup leggings around here for a while now and I'm DYING to get a pair but I have been resisting because I don't own enough appropriate tops to wear them with! I have 2 dresses and a pair of stirrup leggings in my cart on urbanoutfitters.com as we speak and if I get the job I'm after, you can bet I'm checking out immediately! I was 6 years old at the end of the 80's so I didn't really get to enjoy these trends in an adult way and I'm looking forward to more. I love stirrup pants and I love dance inspired items. Fashion is inspired by so many different things--why not dance?
