The French are known for their effortless elegance and we admire them for the naturalness they give to any trend, new or not. They have the ability to revive old trends and adopt them as if they never left our closets.
What is even more impressive is that something you will never think of wearing, you see it on them and you wonder how it is possible not to already have a corresponding piece in your possession.
One such love-hate fashion item is the corduroy
Whichever form you choose, you have a more vintage dimension and usually the fashion world is divided into those who love it and those who do not. You will hardly meet the intermediate because the corduroy has something of a statement, it is not possible to wear it “by mistake” as you would choose any jean from the shelf.
Its history as a garment dates back to the 19th century in England but it will acquire coolness years later, in the 70’s. Since then, he goes and comes from the wardrobes looking for a way to become more up-to-date and more modern.
This is exactly what the stylistic French touch offers him, which processes it in different forms but with a simplicity that takes it away from the country mood that surrounds it.
Inspire freely from the following outfits to decide if the unquestionably comfortable corduroy deserves a place in your own wardrobe.
A cozy jacket
The combination of brown and white is so cozy probably because it reminds us of something from our favorite hot coffee latte. White is a very nice idea for winter and will ideally highlight a corduroy brown. In addition, do not forget the magic of mix and match. The corduroy is harmoniously combined with the knits and a silk scarf will act as a connecting link between the two.
Treat it like an everyday outfit
Okay, we know that nothing can replace our favorite jeans and we will not try to convince you otherwise. But if you face a corduroy pants with the same comfort that you would face a pair of jeans, you will be surprised by how much easier it may seem to you to wear it in your daily life without much thought. A simple white t-shirt, a knit or even a sweatshirt and you are ready. Do not forget a few pieces of jewelry and a nice leather bag to complete the set.
An earthy color palette
A good start when you do not know how to wear a garment that seems a bit foreign to you, is to choose a color palette with which you feel safe, such as the earthy and neutral colors of brown, beige and gray. It is even easier to prefer a one piece outfit like a dress to further reduce the combinations you have to make.
A jacket
A jacket always takes you out of the difficult position and gives you the opportunity to experiment with more colors. Make a monochrome base of your choice and choose a corduroy jacket in any color you want, as long as it matches your base. If you have chosen a very simple base, no matter how intense the corduroy color you want to dare, you will not have any problems.
A mini skirt
A mini skirt in winter is the ideal outfit to highlight a leather pair of boots or an impressive tights. This year, when the leather jacket has made a dynamic comeback, prefer it to give a modern 90’s note to your look. If you do not want to wear boots, a pair of chunky loafers is an equally good idea.
A suit
This may seem like a lot to you, but everything – especially in fashion – is an idea. Make sure you find a design that is modern and fashionable in itself, such as a double breasted jacket or an oversized line, and let the corduroy simply complete the final image. Whatever color you wear, choose a monochrome set which you can illuminate with the details of the accessories. If you still like experimentation and you are not afraid of neon colors, make sure the rest of the styling follows the same logic and wear a pair of sneakers instead of boots.
