We’ve all not-so-secretly loved any occasion to re-enact that famous scene in Flash Dance anytime we wear legwarmers (admit it, you maniac). And with the weather getting cooler Down Under, what better way to warm up than with some additional coverage? Although not as heavy as their authentic counterpart, stirrup tights are making their way onto the yoga scene as the modern version of legwarmers. Slightly longer then your average tights and covering most of your foot, we love to think that stirrups tights give the illusion of longer, leaner legs as well as help keep your muscles warm and flexible during training. For this reason we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite styles.
