The Best Stirrup Leggings to Wear 2024

Stirrup leggings have been through a lot of fashion changes over the years. The style, featuring a stretchy loop at the bottom that wraps around the heel, was initially prominent for women in the 1920s as a horseback riding accoutrement to keep their pants tucked into their riding boots. Then throughout the '80s and '90s, the pants were an uber popular everyday wardrobe choice because of their comfortable fit and slimming capabilities. As for the stirrup leggings of 2023? The retro bottoms have been getting the upgrade treatment with super-luxe materials, elevated tailored details, and fun textures galore. And these days, you can even dress them up with a pair of comfortable high heels!
