Corduroy pants are not an everyday choice. They’re not an every season choice. But they deserve a spot in your wardrobe, so Style Girlfriend is here to make the case for adding a men’s corduroy pants outfit or two to your cold weather style.
Some things are just naturally divisive. The correct way to load a dishwasher. Cilantro. The third season of The Bear. But one thing I feel like we should all be able to agree on? Corduroy pants are a great look on guys.
I know, I know. They’re sort of loud, and they can give off a socially anxious English professor in a Noah Baumbach movie vibe, but hear me out!
In the winter, you’ll bore yourself sick wearing the same thing on your legs every day, and unlike the warmer months, shorts are never the answer.
So when you’re over your wool trousers, your jeans just aren’t cutting it, and flannel-lined khaki pants are just too itchy, consider turning to these winter wardrobe warriors.
Below, check out 7 men’s corduroy pants outfits, and shop Style Girlfriend’s picks for this winter and beyond.
What you’ll find here
Get inspired with 7 stylish corduroy pants outfits for men:
Wear wide-leg corduroy pants
A more generously-cut silhouette keeps cords looking cool. Finish off the look with your favorite Chucks for a fun, laid-back feel.
Wear navy cords
A rich navy color will make your pant option pop.
For footwear, swap in a sneaker if peak casualness is the goal.
Wear brown corduroys
Neutrals are a classic when it comes to cord colors.
From brown to…well, deeper brown, you can’t go wrong with corduroy pants in earth tones.
Wear wide-wale cords
The wider the wale, the more you see the texture of the fabric. If that’s something you’re into, that is.
As for the rest of the outfit? Don’t overthink it! You can keep things simple up top with a crewneck sweater, button-down shirt, hoodie, or turtleneck.
Roll your cords to show off your footwear
Better to show off your favorite pair of lace-up boots.
The workwear vest here is a nice touch, and trendy, too!
Dress up your corduroy trousers
This look would be great flipped, too—with a corduroy blazer and patterned trousers. You know how Team SG feels about visual interest in a man’s outfit. The more to look at, the better! Well, within reason. A full corduroy suit would have a similar effect.
In this case, the Fair Isle socks coordinate with the v-neck sweater and even bring out flecks in the tie. It all works!
Pair your cords with a preppy coat
Yes, more brown corduroy pants. They’re so versatile!
This business casual outfit benefits from pairing the pleated pants with a waxed canvas jacket with a lived-in, vintage feel.
Tassel loafers look serious but not fussy.
Go for a workwear vibe with your cords
When it comes to a men’s corduroy pants outfit to emulate, this may be the easiest to replicate.
Casual blue cords, your favorite cardigan or sweater and a simple white tee. Comfort meets cool winter style.
