Re: When did stirrup pants finally fade away from your wardrobe?

2blonde, I also graduated from HS in 1966 & loved wearing stirrup pants in probably 1965 for the first time with some beautiful mohair sweaters.  So nice with boots & they always looked dressy.  I still have 2 pairs of stirrup pants that I wear with boots when it is really cold outside.  They keep me warm as they stay in the boot where they should be.

I wore them as a child in the '60's.  I didn't wear them as an adult when they came "back around!"

Re: When did stirrup pants finally fade away from your wardrobe?

I looked good in stirrup pants and hated to see them go out of style.  I remember wearing them in the 80's.... especially an olive green outfit with matching pants, sweater and shoes.  I probably looked like a string bean -- but I thought I was cooool.  Teeheeeeeee

For me, I think it would have been early 70's, no later than that. I believe I had 1 or 2 pairs.

I'm pretty sure I purchased and wore some from Talbots in the early 90s.

I only wore them to ski.

First, in the sixties.  Got some in the early nineties & hated the feel of the stirrup in the arches of my feet.  Go figure...

I think they were more flattering than these awful leggings and tights that make most women's legs look like stuffed sausages.

 

I remember buying and wearing stirrup pants well into the '90s.  Might still wear them with a riding boot and a very long tunic.
