I love denim as much as the next person, but come fall and winter I like to switch things up for a more cozy feel with rich fabrics and more texture in my wardrobe. I’ve long been a fan of velvet in the cooler months, but this season I’m planning on putting it aside in favour of an updated styling trick.
The fashion world has embraced a retro vibe for fall 2019, and corduroy is making its way back into the spotlight. Whether it’s in the form of a blazer, trousers, a dress, or even footwear, this old-school style is back in full force.
Although it’s come a long way since first being worn by French aristocrats in the 17th century (the name literally translates to cord of kings), corduroy is ideal as an alternative to denim. They can easily be worn with a cool and casual vibe, or dressed up using the right accessories.
Spotted recently on celebs like Priyanka Chopra, Lily Aldridge, and Bella Hadid, it’s likely that we’ll be seeing this trend more and more often as the months go by.
Take a look at some of the coolest corduroy pieces of the season, and let us know in the comments below how you feel about the fabric’s return.
