From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Pedal Pusher (disambiguation).
Pedal pushers are calf-length trousers that were popular during the 1950s[1] and have seen a resurgence in the 2010s. Often cuffed and worn tight to the skin, they are related in style to Capri pants, and are sometimes referred to as "clam diggers". The name "pedal pushers" originated from the style originally worn by cyclists, but the style quickly became identified with teenage girls.
They are the subject of "Pink Pedal Pushers", a song by Carl Perkins.
