Well, we are finally in the thick of fall, which means it's time to acquaint ourselves with a new set of trends for this season and the one ahead. One noteworthy comeback on the fashion scene is corduroy, a fabric that, while never truly out of fashion, has not enjoyed the spotlight as a wardrobe essential for quite a while. Many fashion people are now urging us to take a fresh look at corduroy—particularly corduroy pants.
With their distinctive ribbed pattern, these textured garments are poised to reclaim their place in our closets, adding a touch of warmth, elegance, and retro charm to our cold-weather ensembles. Trendsetters like Dakota Johnson and Sienna Miller are leading the charge, showcasing their commitment to originality by incorporating this timeless textile into their wardrobes. We've witnessed them effortlessly style light-hued corduroy pants, pairing them with polished options ranging from long wool coats to playful cropped cardigans. However, the enthusiasm for corduroy pants isn't confined to just Hollywood. Style influencers, from Berlin to Paris, are embracing it, heralding corduroys as their go-to trouser choice.
Beyond street style, the resurgence of corduroy pants has been prominently featured on the 2024 runways in stunning collections from renowned designers like Loewe and Fendi. This captivating revival firmly establishes that the distinctive '70s aesthetic is not just making a fleeting appearance. It's enjoying a vibrant and stylish renaissance.
Textured pants may seem daunting to style initially, but there are many ways to incorporate corduroy pants into your looks, no matter the occasion. Scroll on for six ways to style this anti-jeans trend, as demonstrated by our favorite fashion people. Trust us: Once you see the level of effortlessness they bring, you will reach for a pair yourself.
Corduroy Pants + Vest
If you aren't ready to give up warm-weather clothes just yet, pair corduroys with a longline vest and open-toe heels. Add a faux-fur coat for a layer of warmth.

Corduroy Pants + Sweater
If you're in a style rut, a pair of corduroy pants and a chunky sweater make for an outfit formula that's easy to throw together yet makes a polished statement. Add animal-print shoes and a slouchy leather bag to prove you're a true fashion person.
