Stirrups - Yay or Nay?

I thought when American Apparel tried to bring stirrups back two years ago it was just a figment of my imagination. Sigh. They're baaaack. They've been spotted on celebs of all ages from trendsetter Zoe Kravitz, daughter of Lenny, to mom Katie Holmes (check out the horrendous close-up below).

Let me just say, I did rock the stirrups in elementary school quite frequently, but now? I think I'm gonna have to pass. I saw a pair a few weeks ago as I was browsing Forever 21 for colored tights. Once I noticed the label that read "stirrups," I placed them back on the table where they belonged (and that was almost ALL they had!). I can go for leggings - I have several pair! But anything that pulls underneath my feet and makes me look like Debbie Gibson from the 80's resurrected, is just not cool with me. If Katie has opted for simple tights paired with peeptoes or riding boots, it would have been a hit and not a miss (I'm loving the gray and the cropped cardigan!). Some celebs will never learn.

P.S. Comment back and let me know what YOU think!
