stirrup pants

Ankle-looped leggings

Stirrup pants are close-fitting trousers with a strap that loops under the foot, keeping the pant leg taut and in place.

Popular in the 1980s and 1990s as casual and exercise wear, they've cycled in and out of fashion since.

The stirrup prevents the fabric from riding up: She tucked her stirrup pants into her ankle boots.
