Stirrup Tights Are Back

You can love them or hate them, but stirrups are officially back. About three years ago I really really wanted to wear stirrup tights and I couldn’t find them anywhere. I had to either pull my footless tights down around my heels or go to a dance store and buy the real kind that are functional for dancing. I didn’t need anything functional, I just liked the way that they looked! I am so excited to see that the trend has caught on and now finally stirrup tights are available everywhere!
Here are some of my favorites…

American Apparel Shiny Stirrup Tight in Wine $14
I have a lot of these because American Apparel was one of the first stores to have a wide selection of colors. They are super cheap so you can stock up on as many pairs as you want! They are very shiny, which gives them an authentic 80’s look. Don’t get a color that is too light because the combination of shiny and light will add weight to your legs.

If you are a fan of the Hue brand for your stockings, then you can pick up a pair of these at most major department stores. These are opaque, which looks really great and also makes them a little warmer.

Only Hearts I Heart Stirrup Tights $55
I love these!! This pair of Only Hearts tights combines two of my favorites tights into one: the dotted mesh and the stirrup. So cute. Can you see why I love them yet?

Paint Palette Stirrups in Blue $28
I have a pair exactly like this that I got at Express last year and they are so fun to pair with a simple black dress when you want to add a little pop of color. Wear them with a mini and patent pumps and you are ready to enjoy a night out even if it’s the middle of winter!
