Are CORDUROYS In Style? | OUTFITS FOR CORDUROYS

How to wear corduroys. 3 different fits and styles for men wearing corduroys in 2022. Whether you like a slim fit, straight fit, or loose/relaxed fit corduroy, you can wear corduroys with confidence.



Corduroy’s are not for everyone. If you’re going to wear them you have to wear them correctly and in this video I’m going to give you 3 different ways to think about styling your Corduroy Pants.

Can you wear corduroys in the summer? First of all, Corduroy’s are a thick material with a lot of texture which means wearing them in the warmer months is usually a no-go.


When it gets a little colder break them out to bring something more to your outfit then the same pair of jeans you always wear.

I wanted to show 3 different fits or corduroy’s slim, relaxed, and somewhere in the middle and ways to style those different fits.


First off some people like a slimmer fit pair of pants. something tapered at the ankle. I have these cream colored corduroy’s that I paired with some loafers to show that.


I think a tighter fit is better complimented with a slimmer shoe like an oxford or loafer than a wider fit would be.


With this outfit I also wanted to show that corduroy’s can be dressed up a little bit, but aren’t necessarily “formal attire”


I am wearing this J. Crew button up and a Tommy Hilfiger sweater vest to show just how much you can dress corduroy’s up,



but It was also cold so I through on this trucker jacket from Levi to show corduroy’s are not limited to just formal menswear.

and here is how it all looked together.



The next option is the opposite. If you like a looser fit, a corduroy is a good option for you. They can be very casual. This is not my favorite style. As anyone who has seen my videos in the past knows, this is not a typical look for me, but I do think it could be a good look for some people though if this relaxed look fits your personal style.


I just wore some white leather sneakers that is mostly covered by the pants and this timberland rugby shirt. It was cold so this puffer jacket also went on.


and here is how that outfit looks all together.


The final option is my personal favorite for corduroy’s and that is somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.


Not a slim fit, not a relaxed fit, not really formal but also not really relaxed.



I paired these brown corduroy’s with some boots and I love how they sit on top of them.



I then added this crewneck sweater and tucked it in and because this whole outfit was pretty monochrome I decided to throw on a grey top coat from J. Crew that has a subtle brown check to round out the look.



Like I said this is my favorite look of the 3 as it really captures my personal style.


At the end of the day you need to mess around with different looks to find out what your favorite look is.


For me I like slim jeans so I assumed i would prefer the same look with corduroy’s but I realized recently that I prefer the looser look on these.


Mess with different looks, see what you like and rock it with confidence.
