# Stirrup Leggings The Revival of Your Inner Five-Year-Old By Alison Heller | Published 2010-03-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stirrup-leggings References: [thedemoiselles](http://thedemoiselles.com/archives/trend-watch-stirrup-pants) & [comparingfashion](http://www.comparingfashion.com/stirrup-leggings-are-making-a-comeback.html) Remember when you were a kid and your parents put you in those in those stretchy pants with inexplicable stirrups? They've been reincarnated as stirrup leggings. Now you can buy stirrup leggings from [Juicy Couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-x-madhappy), Citizens of Humanity and other top designers for upwards of $100. Of course, cheaper versions will surely hit American Apparel and Forever 21. I can see them paired with an edgy tunic or leather jacket, but it's only a matter of time until neon stirrup leggings make an appearance. With the right heels, stirrup leggings could work. However, who is really going to notice the extra bit of fabric at the bottom of your leggings when they're jammed into a shoe? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Revival of Stirrup Leggings:** Opportunity for fashion brands to capitalize on the nostalgia trend and create modern versions of stirrup leggings. - **Designer Stirrup Leggings:** High-end designers can tap into the demand for luxury stirrup leggings, offering premium materials and unique designs. - **Neon Stirrup Leggings:** Potential for brands to introduce vibrant and eye-catching neon stirrup leggings, targeting fashion-forward consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate stirrup leggings into their collections, creating innovative and trendy outfit options. - **Apparel Retail:** Opportunity for apparel retailers to stock and sell stirrup leggings, catering to customers looking for unique and nostalgic fashion items. - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can collaborate with stirrup leggings manufacturers, creating stylish and complementary shoe designs for this revived fashion trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [One-Legged Luxury Fashion Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onelegged-jean.md) - [Purposefully Distressed Luxe Tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroyed-tights.md) - [Tween Athletic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonwing.md) - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [High-Performance Recycled Polyester Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-train-colorblock-leggings.md) - [Seamless Active Legging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/align-no-line-highrise-pant.md) - [Playfully Nostalgic Pink Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-x-madhappy.md) - [Elevated Luxury Tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-luxury-tights.md) - [Essential 90s-Inspired Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-activewear.md)
