The Skinny on Jean Stirrups


Being in the know on the latest trends is not the same as actually liking them, as the stirrup jean follows in the oh-so-questionable footsteps of Crocs, Uggs, and other unfortunately named apparel.

Hello! The last time I wore stirrups was in, like, 6th grade. Those of us over age 25 well remember coveting them in the equally unforgivable bubble-gum style stretchy fabric. C'mon, you can admit it! It was, admittedly in retrospect, with a great sigh of relief when '80s fashion left the scene - we hoped for good.

When I received a sample submission from ChickAdvisor's newest contributor on ... (whew, gimme a sec) ... stirrup jeans, I was curious to read her defense of this latest head-scratcher. I checked out denim destination 7 For All Mankind, and Holy Hannah - they were sold out! I'm eating humble pie here, as it turns out she may be onto something. Read for yourself...

Goodbye skinny jeans, HELLO JEAN STIRRUPS!!

That’s right ladies, P picked herself up a pair of stretchy jean stirrup pants:

- They’re jean;
- They’re stirrups;
- And they’re stretchy!

5 reasons to jump on board the jean stirrups train:

1. No more stuffing your jeans into your high boots –they slip in easier than roofies in a freshman’s ‘Purple Jesus’.

2. The bottom of your jeans have been licking the city’s streets for long enough.

3. They pair well with this season’s ‘honestly, how much bigger can they get’ sweaters

4. You hate when your tights bunch up around your ‘I never used to have this’ ponch.
And the most important reason to wear stretchy jean stirrups...

5. Because you walk to the beat of your own drum (with some help from Vogue, Instyle, your friends, your heroes, your celebrity crushes, etc.)

Stretchy jean stirrups, watch out for them at your next gathering...

I don't like this built in look...but you can buy detachable stirrups online at STIRUPPZ.com. They keep your jeans from bunching and riding up and they make it so easy to slide your jeans down into your boots.

I'd wear them as long as they were cute like this. The ugly sweats version from when I was a kid? No thanks!

I will but only because I find them convenient for when you plan to wear tall boots. It helps to keep your pants from bunching up throughout the day.
