The Trendiest Corduroy Pieces for Your Wardrobe

I still remember, back in the early 2000s, my mother had as her sole aim dressing me in corduroy garments that I, for my part, detested with all my being. There were many tantrums that this fabric triggered back then. That is why I’m still surprised when I think that that small fashion victim who rejected corduroy, almost 20 years later, would be choosing garments of this fabric for her most special looks.

That fashion is cyclical is no surprise: the same tantrums caused by corduroy were also triggered by ballet flats or Bermuda shorts, two of the essentials of my current wardrobe. But how have we gone from hate to love with this type of garments? Is it a matter of trends or of maturity? Well, to tell the truth, it has a bit of both, and corduroy’s return not only responds to that nostalgic wave bringing back past trends, but also to a novel approach where sophistication and good taste take over what promises to be the star fabric of the remaining cold months.

Corduroy has arrived in jackets, pants, skirts and even accessories that stand out as the most original, making a difference in an outfit. It is the ideal option when you want to streamline your silhouette on a day of low temperatures, as it is perfect to help you look comfortable and warm without neglecting the chic factor that always adds points in achieving the perfect ensemble.

Although corduroy’s comeback doesn’t catch us by surprise—it’s been signaling its triumphant entry into our wardrobes for several seasons now—you might still have that 2000s girl complex in which this fabric continues to provoke some initial rejection. To help you overcome that fear and to let you rediscover firsthand the incredible potential of corduroy to elevate your image, we have selected the most special garments that you won’t be able to resist and that will help you understand why this winter those who know the most about fashion are betting on corduroy.

Zara

One of the simplest ways to include corduroy in any look is through jackets, specifically blazers like this one from Zara. With a cross closure and a slightly oversized cut, this blazer wears well with denim jeans as well as with more sophisticated designs such as earth-toned tailored trousers, giving you a lot of versatility to wear it in various contexts.

Massimo Dutti

Corduroy pants are those old favorites that return in their most up-to-date version. Proof of this is Massimo Dutti’s proposal: barrel-fit pants in this fabric and in chocolate brown that could not fit better with current trends. Wear them with a basic T-shirt, sneakers, and a leather jacket, and you’ll have a youthful and stylish look that proudly showcases the fabric of the moment.

Sézane

Another one of those options that’s a safe bet are corduroy midi skirts. At Sézane we’ve spotted this one in maple color that very much flatters the silhouette and achieves the perfect winter look if you pair it with tall leather boots, a turtleneck sweater, and a long coat that accentuates the chic essence of the look.

Parfois

Who hasn’t worn corduroy dresses in childhood? If you want to pay homage to nostalgia, you have to get this Parfois mini dress, ideal to wear with high-heeled boots and a fur coat, but also to wear according to the most powerful trends of the moment, for example, with a matching pant and mesh ballet flats that give it a very contemporary vibe.

De La Mur

When it comes to accessories, handbags are the items that best embrace this fabric. One of our favorites is this De La Mur tote bag, a perfect option to turn into a daily bag, whether for the office or for those occasions when you need to carry a lot of things and do so with style.
