How to Buy Corduroy Pants
Remember
corduroy? Corduroy
pants for school, business casual and casual wear, cold weather, and evening outings or during the weekend. Just think of them as easy fitting like jeans, but softer and warmer for fall and winter. Add a little bit of stretch and you've got
corduroy pants, updated for slimmer silhouettes.
Keep in mind that the thickness in the wales (vertical ribbing or ridges) of corduroy pants may make you look heavier. So, fine, plush waling with a velour feel is most flattering.
If you're petite, short, medium or tall, purchase corduroys that have flat fronts, with low rise and snug fit from hips to ankles. Try DKNY. If you're short and heavy, go for flat front corduroys, low rise with a fuller cut, to look slim and stylish. Browse the Banana
Republic corduroy straight-leg and skinny pants. Slimmer figures look great in flat front pants, cuffed or not. And, for sleek polish, wear dark colored corduroys.
The best designers market classy topstitching accents on back pockets and hidden inner panels to slim your waist. Belt loops, button front closure and metal stud detailing in pockets are added zing.
For a dressy event, you may want to wear comfortable, embroidered corduroys. Check out Victoria
Secret Christie fit, velvety corduroy jeans, slightly stretchy, boot cut, slim fit, low rise.
Calvin Klein corduroys, for men and women, are very impressive relaxed fit, straight leg velveteens with pockets. Also, try
Orvis pants, Nautica or Levi's for men and boys, and Land's End for the whole family. Aventura
organic corduroy pants are available for ladies and girls.
