What's next, an effin scrunchie?

So I've decided that stirrup pants are back. Yep, you heard me right. I rocked a modern version to work yesterday and got a phenomenal response. But they must be done right or...catastrophe.

Wear stirrup tights, not actual pants. They should be very thick tights, almost leggings. Make sure the stirrup part is thicker than the 80's version. It should actually cover the top of your foot, and just barely have the heel cut out in the back. Make sure the hole is reinforced unlike those homemade hand-stirrup hoodies that people inexplicably wore a few years ago, Avril Lavigne. Express has a great pair right now for $16.50 as shown in Exhibit A. Idk how I feel about the colored ones yet, but I'm having a fashion love affair with the black.

On your feets, rock some basic pumps (nothing too flashy or with too many other straps). Though you won't get the stirrup effect, you can also wear these with boots to rock the tight pants tucked into boots look - with no risk of bunchage! On top, wear your super awesome modern stirrup pants with a loose shift dress or long sweater. I guess some things are still the same from the 80's after all. Follow these rules and rock the stirrup with pride girlfriend!
