s/o to Jen's post... guess what I saw today

Stirrup pants! At Old Navy! That is one 80's fad that can GO AWAY! They were awful! I was just thinking the other day "at least someone hasn't tried to bring them back" and then I saw them.

Re: s/o to Jen's post... guess what I saw today

  • ::::raises hand in the air:::: I had many, many pairs of stir-up pants! Although I could see how a stir-up would be useful in a skiiny jean/tall boot situation! :)

  • Wow, I loved wear these ALL the time when I was in 4th and 5th grade! They were a staple in my wardrobe!! Can't believe they're back. Not a good thing, although would be useful when putting on boots!

    I am right there with you. I had A TON of them! But I don't want them anywhere near me now!

  • Yep...its unfortunately true.  I saw them on a tv show recently and almost fell off the couch from laughing.  I loved mine back in the day.  There was even a skating pant with stirrups that I had too.

    This.  And FWIW, I would sooner go naked than wear stirrup pants again at 24. Stick out tongue I was always too tall and they fit awkwardly back in the day.  

  • Oh my.  I used to have them in pink and purple.  Do the "new" stirrups come in an assortment of colors?  *shudders*

  • That if one trend I don't want to come back. I did love mine when I was little. I had them in crazy colors and the outfit always involved a large, oversized top with some weird design that matched them.
  • Yikes, that is definitely a trend I don't need to see again.  I loved them when I was younger, but I can't see wearing them now.

  • I saw those at Old navy too! My friend and I were cracking up! I definitely had them when I was younger....I can't believe they are coming back!
  • LOL, I just read this post to my DH and he slurred together one long word: "Oh-god-no-WHY! That's so nasty."

  • I loved stirrup pants.  They were so comfy.  But the bulging knee sag by the end of the day wasn't so attractive.

    When I was pregnant last year, my sister gave me some of her maternity clothes - her boys are 12 and 10 - and there were stirrup pants in there.  I never wore them, but it made me laugh, and wonder when they would come back in style.
