Three Ways To Wear Corduroy
Corduroy is a classic for a reason – it’s soft, it’s durable and it’s incredibly stylish. Just including a single item of corduroy within an otherwise ordinary outfit can give you a touch of elegance and sophistication you’ll love.
Cord Jackets
Similar in purpose to a jean or denim jacket, cord jackets are a stylish addition to any outfit for those days when you need a little extra insulation. It’s a great option for those of us who like to dress well but find outerwear challenging – gone are the days of having to sacrifice on style when the weather demands an extra layer.
Cord jackets come in all shapes and sizes, so look around to find a style that suits you. Remember to keep an eye out for those creature comforts you’ll use every day – check the fastening method, whether the sleeves can be rolled up if necessary and, most crucially, whether it has pockets.

Cord Skirts
Cord skirts are the ultimate winter warmer, with thick fabric that will help to keep you insulated while giving your look a timeless style. In the colder weather, pair them with a pair of thermal leggings, or wear them in summer with bare legs or thin tights.
Despite many cord skirt designs being simplistic with block colours and few to no patterns, this style can easily be the statement, focal point of your outfit.

Cord Trousers
When it comes to women’s winter trousers, your choices are often a blend of endless denim or bulky, snowy-weather trousers that not only cramp your style but also can be much too insulating for a typical British winter. Enter the humble cord, which is thick but not bulky, insulating but not suffocating and stylish but not garish.
Corduroy trousers might seem like a relic of the ‘70s, but they’re back in a big way this season. Perfect for keeping your legs toasty-warm without compromising on style, these trousers are a great way to add an extra splash of ‘zing’ to your festive ‘fits.
