Hot Pants​

Have you ever worn Hot Pants? They were all the rage back in the day, paired with long lace-up boots—a daring fashion statement of the '70s.

Yes hot pants with bibs and butterfly's. I had a pair & times were so uncomplicated then not like today!

 

[Fernsie]

Most certainly have. The first time I went to wear them out to the movies with my then boyfriend, now husband, my mother told me to go and put some clothes on. I was mortified!

Flared jeans. I had a pair or dark purple flared jeans. I wore these jeans to death; I loved them they were so comfortable.

I had a pale pink outfit with a sleeveless dress and skirt with an opening at the front to reveal the matching hotpants! I wore it with knee length white boots. Thought I was so groovy!

I wore hot pants too. Back in the days when my body was so much better than now!

I loved my hot pants & had an amazing (well I thought so) orange pair that I loved. But it’s so long ago now and back then I was skinny. I had red flares too.

What do you mean "when my body was so much better than now". I am more than happy!

My sister wore hot pants and as I was a good bit younger than her(9 yrs younger) I admired her outfits and begged my Mum to make me a pair! I was 11 or 12 with skinny long legs and waist length hair, and loved my hot paints! They were maroon with pink flowers and a long sleeve pink blouse underneath. I thought I was pretty cool haha!

What about Witches Britches does anyone remember them Lol I remember having a racey red pair with white lace frills up the leg with black ribbon laced through

 

[Cateyes]

Lol, yes my cousin gave me a pair of witches britches. Mine were white with lace. My sister also wore mini hoppers.. like long loose shorts with matching top. Plus culottes with matching mid drift top and of course the good old mini skirts!

Loved my witches britches, though had forgotten about them. Mine were pink with black lace but they did keep you warm. I had culottes & lived in mini skirts. We all thought we looked so cool, but mum was horrified sometimes. We really shouldn’t complain about today’s fashions should we? Though I would not have embraced todays totally see through look, my parents would’ve disowned me. It’s not over flattering anyway.
