How to Wear Corduroy

How to Wear Corduroy



Current corduroy fabric is soft and comfortable, and many popular styles are tailored for a woman's body. You don't have to buy stiff baggy shirts and pants to add corduroy to your wardrobe. Follow the steps to learn how to wear corduroy year round, no matter what the occasion or temperature.









Step
1



Shop at stores that carry casual or outdoor style wear for the largest selection. However, department and specialty stores alike often carry both summer and winter weights so you can wear corduroy year round.




Step
2



Find pants cut like jeans with a lower-rise waist and boot cut leg. Wear as you would jeans or slacks, dressing them up or down depending on the shirt and shoes you choose. Some corduroy pants are distressed for a perfect girls' night out, while others are classically straight cut and dressier to wear to work with a pretty sweater or jacket.




Step
3



Wear a skirt with a feminine style--with flared edges, piping or cut outs--and pair it with a tall pair of boots and a thick sweater, or choose a cotton eyelet wrap shirt for a lighter feel. Corduroy doesn't have to weigh you down.




Step
4



Choose between a lightweight or heavyweight jacket or coat for both indoor and outdoor use. In the winter, a tailored corduroy coat with quilted lining is durable, soft, warm and comfortable in cold weather. A corduroy blazer can be a good choice as a lightweight jacket--pair with a dress, wool slacks or jeans depending on how casual you want to look. Choose bright colors and various business or casual styles.
