These were popular from 1986-about 1989

Heavy people shouldn't wear these!

MEN should not wear these!!! Yuck!!

We called these "skinners" and wore them with oversized tee shirts and push-down socks and shiny black shoes. I always had the black shiny ones.

I remember last seeing these around 1993.

Anyone else remember when these were so popular that fashion magazines were proclaiming them to be "the new jeans"? I shudder at the thought. People did wear them with everything, though, in the late 80s/early 90s. I especially remember girls wearing them with short skirts and guys and girls wearing them with baggier shorts over them. And they were popular about the same time clunky Doc Marten work shoes peaked in popularity, so you'd have these really sleek, tight shorts ending in a clunk of black work shoe below.

Wore them under skirts... then clothing companies started sewing bike shorts into the skirts. Made my life easier! My mom forced me to wear plain bike shorts to my dad's high school reunion family day. I was pissed.

I had a pair of these! Granted, I was only like 9! Mine were black, w/ a neon yellow stripe up each side!

Omg!!! My wife and I sat and laughed for almost an hour talking about biking shorts and jeri curls; bad combination;lol

I was the first one to wear them in my school in California after bringing some back from London during a school trip in 1987. They got popular after that.

I had these in White black and pink

their very comfortable I sleep in them
