Stirrup pants or stirrup leggings are a type of close-fitting pants that taper at the ankle, similar to leggings, except that the material extends to a band, or strap, that is worn under the arch of the foot to hold the pant leg in place. The band of material is often elasticized to prevent the material around the foot from tearing.
Palazzo pants for women first became a popular trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
