The slight nip in the air is settling in, and some warm clothing is all we need to enjoy the cool temperatures. Corduroys, crafted using high-quality cottons, woven in pinwale textures are the perfect answer to your wardrobe concerns.
Originating from the French ‘Cord-du-roi’ that stands for ‘cloth of the king’, corduroys bring a rich texture handfeel and soft comfort to the wearer as well as some cool smart-casual or sophisticated formal style, depending on how you style it for the day. We’re here to help you make your choices: after all, corduroy is cool, comfortable, versatile & durable for everywhere & every wear.
So, really, there are three ways to ace this game: casual, smart-casual, smart-formal.
Casual
The easiest way to go about this is to pick your go-to weekend outfit of a sweatshirt, checked shirt or t-shirt, denim and moccasins or sneakers. While stretchable jeans look dapper, you can always replace it with a custom-made pair of corduroy pants or chinos for men, and your outfit is fall/winter ready with perfect style. Even mens cargo pants in corduroy work for this look. The texture of corduroy makes your outfit a more fashionable & stylish one. The colors that corduroys come in are wearable with versatility; your entire outfit can become tonal to complement the trousers with every shade you choose to throw on it.
Smart-casual
Corduroys, being more casual than a tailored pair of stark formalwear, and higher up in the style quotient when it comes to comparing them with denims, corduroys become the king of casual-formal attire. The rule of thumb for choosing corduroys is: the darker you choose, the more formal they look. The lighter you go, the more casual they look.
Pairing your corduroys with a smart cable-knit sweater or a well-fitted shirt and finishing them with chelsea boots or comfortable deck shoes is the way to go for a formal event, or an outdoor dinner with family!
Smart-formal
From CEO duties to wedding parties, corduroys can be styled to make you look like a million bucks in classy, sophisticated style with ease. As the texture is rich in itself, it doesn’t take much to make these pants blend into a formal look. Choose a sharper tapered or slim fit, paired with a crisp shirt and blazer/overcoat for days that beckon a formal yet suave look.
So whether you’re looking for a dressed up, dressed down, casual or cultivated look, corduroys are your go-to for the season with rich fabric, handpicked colors tailored to perfection for you. Have a look here at our corduroy collection!
