• The Not-So-Stirring Reviews

  The majority of reviews have been harsh and critical regarding the resurgence of the stirrup pant in jeans or any other form.

  The Fashion Police, an online fashion site says:

  "OK, this is getting scary now. It was bad enough when it was just stirrup tights we had to contend with, but when a respected denim designer like 7 for all Mankind start putting stirrups on their jeans, you know we're in trouble. Now, I can't conceive of a single reason why you'd need stirrups on the bottoms of your jeans. Sure, you could argue that it makes them easier to tuck into your boots, but I'd answer that my skinnies go into my boots just fine, thanks very much - no stirrups required. And this model is wearing them with shoes. Shoes, I tells ya. The stirrup is very much on show, and I have just one question: why?"
