Retro trend alert: 11 pairs of throwback stirrup leggings you need now
The '80s are back, even in activewear. Here's how to wear the stirrup leggings trend with options from Varley, Alo Yoga, Onzie, and more.
Modern activewear and athleisure style can be traced to the ’80s and Glow-style workout layering, as far as I’m concerned. Think: Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” video and Jane Fonda‘s old-school workout tapes. And since nostalgia is a solid constant when it comes to fashion trends, the best looks from every decade (even the early aughts!) eventually comes back in style. Spoiler: That’s exactly why I ended up obsessively scouring the internet for stirrup leggings.
Aside from being fashion-forward, stirrups offer supreme practicality: Strapping your feet into your pants means warmth and also less awkward legging adjustments that’ll stop you mid-pose during yoga class. Phew.
