Stirrup Pants Fall Trend - Leggings, Bottoms

By A Mystery Man Writer

Purple stirrup pants sound like a lot, but when you pair them with a chunky pair of neutral brown heels, they pretty much become a neutral too.
If you're feeling shy about experimenting with such an edgy style, style it with the classics — think: a navy sweater, a white pump.
If you want to experiment with multiple patterns, a pair of stirrup pants can act as the literal ~~glue~~ strap that holds it all together.
Sometimes, the way to wear something with such a loaded history is by acknowledging its beginnings. The black version, paired with a white pump with a v-cut topline detail, says, Yes, I know my pants are delightfully Back to the Future, and that's why I love them.
On rainy days, stirrup pants can also offer the illusion of practical dressing — even if you're wearing high heels.
Oversized hoodie? Check. Gucci Bag? Check. Stirrup athletic-inspired pants? Check. Super-high neon pumps? Check. Sometimes, completely owning up to the fact that you never met a trend you didn't like is also a way to pull off said trend.
The problem with stirrup pants is that sometimes — much like when you wore ill-fitting tights as a child — the crotch can hang low and you'll spend the whole day trying to fix it. But if you start with looser-fitting pants, you eliminate that problem completely (and end up with a look that's even office-appropriate).
