I haven’t *seen* anyone wear stirrups yet, but I was in Forever 21 yesterday (I love their dresses), and they were selling stirrup tights along with footless tights.  No sign of gloves, though.

I love the idea of footless tights with a flat shoe, but I don’t think I can pull it off.  Ah well.  As for stirrups….. no.  Just no.

No! No! No!  Elements of 80s style are fun and youthful.  I love bright colors, bold prints, skinny jeans, etc.  I personally have mixed feelings on the normal leggings that everyone is wearing these days but stirrups is a definite no.  Lace gloves, c’mon.  Where is the line between “inspired by the 80s” and “halloween costume?”

I’m in college and it disturbs me that I see girls get decked out for “80s night” at the local frat and then wear the same clothes to class the next day.

there was a 58 page spread in W magazine just of Madonna acting like a horse. Hopefully what you say isn’t true, I dont want to bring the gloves back out again.

I really hate to see those two fashions come back as I have the 70’s & some 80’s looks that I wore in my also Midwestern pre-teen and teen years. Since I’ve worn them once this lifetime already, I don’t feel the need to indulge in some of the current “fashion”. I personally prefer the Brooks Brothers preppy look with a Chico’s twist. Good basic classics that see you from season to season, that you can wear for years rather than the flavor of the moment from the Fashionistas who never actually have to PAY for their own clothing.

I hope to never, ever see the stirrup pant again in my life!  It wouldn’t have been so bad if women knew how to wear them (i.e. inside of a boot).  This was never a style for me, being that I am 5’9”, they were always to short in the crotch.

I have seen the stirrup pants at a Kohl’s department store I work at. When I saw them it bought back bad flashbacks of my childhood fashion mistakes. So far I haven’t seen anyone buy or ware the stirrup pants yet. So with any luck I and my co-workers who remember this trend will not have to be torchered by a return of the stirup pant.

All I have to say is that stirrup pants make your body look like your wearing mom pants. Who wants that style back?!

I’ve seen pictures of Paris Hilton sporting a half glove look here http://people.aol.com/people/gallery/0,26335,1133592_9,00.html ugh . . .

Gaaak! No Stirrup Pants, PLEASE!!!

I agree.  No stirrup pants, no Madonna gloves.  Eek.  *shudders*  I too wore some awful clothes in the midwest, and I don’t want to resurrect them now.

i had stirrup pants from lerner too!!! haha

NOOOOOOOO!  the apocalypse is comming.  LMAO.  If these things (I refuse to refer to this as a style) come back.. then what will I have to make fun of.

Hey 1980 called they want their pants back!

In the fall preview issue of Victoria’s Secret’s catalog there are stirrup leggings.  Here’s a pic click on my name below to see it.

They look as awful as I remember, only the stirrup part is wider

ok I’m not doing the big hair and neon clothes again… although I have fond memories of high school, my hair would prefer that I never perm it again, and the neon should stay buried with anything madonna wore in the “lucky star” video and anything seen worn at a “hair band’ concert.  However… I must be the only one who doesn’t despise the stirrup pant?  It’s been a (long) while but I thought they were rather comfortable!

Oh no say it ain’t so!!!  Not stirrips!! Okay, the truth is…I actually thought I was the “shiznit” when I wore them back in the 80’s. LOL!! No one was rockin’ them with as much class as I was. But, once they went out of style, I vowed to never wear them again. I’m sure the younger generation will think they are the newest thing since sliced bread.

Beyonce’ had the “gloves” on the entire time in her new video “DEJA VU”  SO WATCH OUT FOLKS!!!!

oh god no. please? no.

OMG.
Eww.
Why???
WHY?????
I had about a million pairs of stirrup pants as a child.

PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT ATTRACTIVE.

Seriously.

What the hello is wrong with these people??

Why would you do that to perfectly good fabric???

i got some lace gloves at a thrift store a few weeks ago, because they reminded me of my love for madonna , but i wont wear them out of my room.

Stirrup pants… nightmare waiting to happen…

Gloves… I heard Beyonce say something on an interview that she wanted her mom to “bring out the gloves and stockings”... So I can see the come back of gloves.  Of course, in this heatwave, the thought is not very pleasing right now.

The stirrup pants are all over the Victoria’s Secret Fall Preview.  I have never seen a more atrocious collection of clothing in my life.

Stirrup pants, pirate shirts, bubble mini skirts that look like someone turned a kitchen garbage bag upside down and pulled the drawstrings, horizontal striped long sweaters, knickers with weird pockets stuck randomly on them, jeans with gray faded denim inserts down the leg, jackets with a jumble of buttons, snaps, material panels, high heeled sandals with colored ankle socks just thrown together with no thought or plan. 

It’s all a big mish mash that looks like a haunted 1985.  I couldn’t believe it - I had to bring the catalog to show my friends as a conversation piece.  I can tell you this - I won’t be buying a single new piece of clothing this season if this is what’s going to be available.

if they do come back, stirrups will & should probably be worn by people who don’t remember them the first time- so basically only 21 year olds!!!!

yup, the madonna gloves are coming back! but i’m pretty sure they’ll be short lived because unless you’re doing the whole bra-on-top-of-the-shirt with bleached-out-sideways-ponytail thing and teased-out-bangs, the look doesn’t work! haha oh how painfully hideous are my memories of my short stubby legs in stirrups!!!

I for one actually love the stirrup pants. . and they aren’t pants they are leggings. .so they aren’t baggy like the one’s from the 80’s they are like second skin. I actually bought some from F21 the other day and paired it up with a trendy tunic and it looks killer with heels on.  I will totally be wearing the new trend. .it makes your legs look longer and is cute with flats or pumps.  For those that are against it. . take a risk! sorry ladies they are here to stay for the fall :)

Another one is “shirred” pants, they are at strawberry. One look and I was laughing so hard I nearly peed, and I couldn’t stop laughing people started staring. So these capris had elastic on the inside vertically at intervals so it looks like there are a lot of bubbles or some weird shirring all over it. They were side-splittingly funny. I still smile when I think of them. I wonder if I can go take a picture of them - is it bad to take a photo of an item in a store?

Stirrup pants? Ahhh! I have seen the Knee length tights to go under mini skirts at walmart and their alright so long as they are only worn under mini skirts and not by themself. The Stirrup pants though are a fashion dissaster. It makes skinny girls look old and fat and fat girls look even worse… I’m a size 18, I shudder at the thought of me in stirrup pants… even with boots on I still would look like a nightmare in them. The gloves are allrite if your into the punk/goth hot topic look but for everyone else well it would look odd… What would you wear with that? The 80’s look is ok so long as it’s not head to toe and over done. I even heard that the perm is back in style… so be ware, frizzy big hair is back!
