I mentioned in my comment that as a child, I liked wearing stirrup pants. I hadn't thought about them in YEARS, so I did a quick Google and it turns out, they're trending. I thought I'd share in case others have fond memories of them and are interested in current ways to style them. Here are a couple links:

Stirrup pants with elegant pumps seem to be an especially popular combo, but there are a couple examples with sneakers and flats, too. I also like the idea of pairing them with loafers.

I bat for Team Structured, but I'm tempted to get *one* pair of stirrup leggings for the nostalgia factor, which I'm leaning into heavily this year with my dressing as 90s fashion is trending. They might make for a fun silhouette variant. I'll need to think about it, though, as I'm focusing on avoiding impulse buys this year and they're not on my initial list.
