Pedal Pushers For Warm Weather
The Then and Now of Pedal Pushers
Where did Pedal Pushers come from and how did they rise in fashion? Love them or hate them, pedal pushers always come back, stronger than ever. But where did the idea come from? Who would’ve thought of making women’s half-pants? How have they lasted through the years?
Pedal pushers were invented for the dual purpose for cyclists to cover up their legs but also make sure the pants do not get in the way of cycling. Enter the idea for “short-long” pants. These pants came along mainly for women cyclists during the 1950s when appropriate dress was not revealing shorts, but dresses; this was a happy middle.
Over time, pedal pushers developed many names, some equally cheeky and quite literal in their meaning. These names included clam diggers, toreador pants and motor scooter slacks. Pedal pushers have not only developed in name, but in styles of “short-long” pants. One of the more successful varieties of the pedal pusher are capris. Capri pants were advanced by European fashion designer Sonja de Lennart in 1948. Capris reach right above the feet, whereas pedal pushers are much shorter. The name and variety comes from the Italian island of Capri.
Pedal pushers have survived through the decades because of performance. Unlike capris, pedal pushers only go down to the knees, ending right where the knee begins. Not only does this style allow liberal movement of the legs, for cyclists and non-cyclists both, but also more clothing than the average short. They come in an array of fabrics as well. Denim and stretchy fabrics are the more common styles seen over time.Pedal pushers have come to be found in different colors, patterns and styles, declaring them everlasting women’s clothing.
Movie actress, Audrey Hepburn, first made pedal pushers fashionable. Once the shorts started gaining momentum during this time, women began wearing them in all types of sports outside of cycling, such as sailing. The multifunctionality of the pants were popularized by Hepburn, who was often seen wearing pedal pushers in different sporting events.When capris arrived as an offspring of pedal pushers, she started displaying them also, often in the color black which stressed her bony figure and dramatic personality. Having an iconic personality such as Hepburn only fueled the demand for short-long pants.
Today, pedal pushers can still be seen included in the summer line of many clothing brands. They are the perfect bottoms to wear in the heat when you want some coverage to protect yourself in the sun while giving the leg room to breathe. Pedal pushers will add to your closet; buy yours now!.
