I could barely contain myself when I saw this at GAP the other day. Stirrups!! This is sooo 1980's! My gosh, we used to wear this with sneakers I think, maybe with leg warmers too??...definitely not with fancy heels for sure. It's bold to suggest that the stirrups should be worn like this - no skirt or longer shirt to cover up. Truth is that one MUST have a perfect butt & small hips to wear this... which is of course NOT me! Fell into that trap years ago and learned my lesson. Sorry lovely stirrups, I'm not your buyer! By the way, GAP also has skinny jeans with ankle zippers - remember those??
According to this website, here are the top 10 1980's fashion trends. Admit it, I'm sure you own a few pieces!!
- Shoulder Pads
- Mini Skirts
- Leg Warmers
- Big Earrings
- Fingerless Gloves
- Parachute Pants a la MC Hammer pants
- Members Only Jackets
- Units (oh yeah!)
- Stirrup pants
- Oversized tops

Units? Don't remember that.
Owned about 7 from the list. Stirrups and Keds...that was me.
Interesting you mentioned Patagonia. We passed by a huge Patagonia store in Denver. Wonder if that is their flagship. I owned a Patagonia back then. Remember Jimmy Ta? He kept teasing me that it was fake. He was just jealous. Randy has no idea what Patagonia is. Somebody wasn't cool in the 80s. LOL.
