Wore them and loved them in the 80's.

I lived in NYC during that time.<br /> Couldn't wear stirrups myself, they tended to emphasize the contrast between my widest/bulgiest parts and my narrowest. I also remember white denim super straight Calvin Klein pencil skirts with jeans style pockets and details. Again only for the non of hip. They were cut absolutely straight, no adjustment for curves or waist. Interesting how curves are so proudly flaunted now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these/page/2#post-1764402 Sun, 01 Jan 2017 02:45:01 +0000 elpgal 1764402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wasn't there a resurgence of these? Somewhere after tunics-capris and become skinnies became in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764233 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 15:15:31 +0000 Mochi 1764233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1980's. East Village, New York City. Worn by girls working in vintage clothing shops, together with oversized sweaters and cool haircuts. I could never pull off that look, but it takes me right back.....&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764229 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 15:10:47 +0000 RobinF 1764229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them! I'm actually surprised that they haven't come back with all this boot-wearing going on. I'd wear them again but not in a way that the stirrups showed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764176 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 07:30:41 +0000 Gigi 1764176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally remember these!

I could never find any long enough! LOL! I probably couldn't afford any back in the 80's! In the 60's I have no idea? My mom used to pick my clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764067 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:53:04 +0000 AviaMariah 1764067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who's always trying to get leggings/jeans to stay in my boots I think they are brilliant from a purely practical standpoint. &nbsp;I don't think I'd wear them as a fashion statement but if they allowed my to slide boots on with ease I'd gladly wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764065 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:45:48 +0000 deb 1764065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them in the 80's with a fitted long jacket and high heel pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764055 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:33:48 +0000 columbine(erin) 1764055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for pulling that post up, Anne, how fun. I hadn't seen it before. I may have had a pair as a small child in the eighties. Not sure if I'd wear them now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764052 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:27:29 +0000 Dana 1764052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved stirrup pants!

There was a woman in the early years of What Not To Wear, a charming wee "Southern Lady" who wore nothing but white or gold stirrup pants. She had big blonde hair and also loved big sweaters with appliques on the front and giant shoulder pads. I remember during the ambush how her family wanted her to be dragged out of the 1980s. She kept telling Stacy and Clinton that her spouse loved her hair and her clothing. And then they showed her video of him saying "she just looks so old-fashioned and frumpy. She is so cute but she makes her self look like my grandmother." (Or similar words.) She was so deflated. But after the makeover, she was so super refreshed and up-to-date cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764032 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:32:54 +0000 Angie 1764032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OF COURSE I remember these. I'm an '80s gal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764028 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:19:38 +0000 JAileen 1764028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair in the 60s, when I was a little kid. They had a sewn-in crease in the front, and zippered pockets. That's all I remember about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764012 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:40:31 +0000 cindysmith 1764012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them to death in the 80s and 90s, and I'm seeing them trying to become a thing again. They kind of maybe make sense for dancers or people who do yoga, maybe, but I will not be doing them ever again. </p> <p>I once did a post on a community blog type site, a letter to my younger self. Everybody else did all the sage advice that we all ignored when we were young. I went straight for the jugular and made a funny post with pictures of the 80s: "Miami Vice", Guns&amp;Roses, Madonna's sky high bangs, Madonna with a giant lace bow in her hair, knickers, and stirrup pants. </p> <p>Whyyyyyyyyyy do you have to remind me what a fashion victim I used to be LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764010 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:38:29 +0000 Janet 1764010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember them. I had a pair in the 80s too. They were a tough fit for us long-legged women -- I seem to remember ditching mine because the crotch always stayed way too low (because duh, they were much too short on me). I have no desire to resurrect that look, especially with the stirrups visible. I do have a pair of clip-on stirrups for holding the hems of pants down when putting on tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1764007 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:30:20 +0000 always trying 1764007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They go back to the 60's, and then came back in the 80's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763988 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:41:18 +0000 Andrea H 1763988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I remember them from the late 80s, very early 90s when, as a young mom, I wore them with high top sneakers or pointy-toed flats. &nbsp;BUT I also have a picture of me wearing them the first time they came around circa 1964. Toddler Andrea demanded the stirrups be worn *over* her shoes, thankyouverymuch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763986 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:27:40 +0000 cheryl 1763986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore stirrup pants. They are great for tucking in. I just clicked on the link you posted of Angie and I would definitely wear that type of stirrup pant again under a long tunic. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763979 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:01:06 +0000 kkards 1763979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, i remember.....i had a pair i loved, that i'd wear with a colored socks and low cut boots so the sock showed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763972 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 11:36:55 +0000 Summer 1763972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I remember them.&nbsp; I wore them in the nineties, but only with ankle boots so that the stirrup was invisible.&nbsp; I liked the way they streamlined my silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763961 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 11:08:19 +0000 Helen11 1763961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember these.

At the time they seemed a little too trendy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763905 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 03:58:06 +0000 Anonymous 1763905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter - my personal issue with these was they all ran too short for me. If I had participated in this trend in the past, they would all have a low hanging crotch because the short length would pull them down. I can't recall ever owning a pair for this reason. Then I'd have to slink them up like panty hose or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-the-only-one-on-here-to-remember-these#post-1763904 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 03:58:04 +0000 shedev 1763904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them as a teen all the time </p>
