Those shoes are the ugliest things I have ever seen in my life.
I would consider wearing those pants. To golf. if they didnt have stirups.
Umm, thanks? :P
ps- Im wearing a plaid skirt. With a bow. Sometimes my me-ness is overwhelming! |

I always thought you were supposed to wear stirrups so that they showed, but it turns out, stirrup pants were designed to be worn with BOOTS! It's so your pants don't get all puffy and baggy when they come untucked from walking around in your boots. Makes sense. In the 80's we flaunted our stirrups. (I only had one pair, in basic black. You know, to wear with the oversized sweater!) |

Kayte, I totally get ya! I thought you were to show em off and also had the classic black style - worn with huge t-shirts! ha Did your have like a crease down the centre of the leg? I also had a navy ribbed pair. Tragic! |

oh yes. Stirrup pants/tights and oversized sweatshirts. Followed by doctor pants, plaid pj pants, adidas track pants and tearaways*. That was about grade 4-8 of my life.
Oh, overalls made a comeback in there somewhere! Then it was all about flares. The bigger the flare on your jeans, the cooler you were.
My first, and favourite pair of tearaways were stolen from a hockey changeroom. I think in grade 7. I had to go home in long johns! They were beautiful. Puma. I miss them. |

They call underpants just pants? Underpants are called underpants because you wear them UNDER your pants. How is it that I've been on this board for years and never heard anyone call underwear pants? Ohhhh, so when people say, "Such-and-such is PANTS!" They mean underpants!!! Ahhh!
So, do you say trousers instead? That always makes me think of old man pants, like the kind they wear up high past the natural waist line. |

I love this board XD Where else would we discuss what to call coverings of the legs? :-P Pants=underwear, over the pants=trousers ;-) |
