Women Corduroy Jacket

Corduroy pants, whether for men or women, are a smart choice when you are looking for comfort, warmth and style. Thicker than other fabrics used to make pants, corduroy will outlive many of its competitors. Pants made of corduroy can be purchased in a variety of colors. The ribs in corduroy are called wales, and they determine the thickness of the fabric. Styles include pleated pants, drawstring pants, jeans and cuffed pants. What you wear with corduroy pants is a matter of preference.

Men

• On men, a casual shirt looks smart tucked into a pair of corduroy pants. A matching plaid shirt works well, and a blazer on top of that completes the look nicely. If the corduroy pants have belts loops, a stylish belt in a matching color should be added to the outfit. A casual pair of suede shoes go well with corduroy pants. Cotton sweaters that button or zip up the front look nice with drawstring corduroy pants.

Women

• Women's corduroy pants look neat with a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt tucked into them. A fashionable belt should also be worn, but it is not necessary if the blouse or t-shirt is left untucked outside the pants. A sweatshirt that zips or buttons up the front or a blazer will complement the outfit nicely. Short boots look stylish with corduroy pants.

Children

• Little girls and boys look adorable in corduroy pants, and the look corduroy pants impart is one of taste. Corduroy pants paired with a matching corduroy top give a child a well-dressed look. Embroidered dogs or other animals look cute on corduroy pants made for children. If the corduroy pants do not have a matching top, complete the outfit with a long-sleeved polo shirt. Young children can wear just about any type of shoe with corduroy pants.

More About Corduroy Pants

• Corduroy is a relatively thick fabric. For this reason, corduroy pants will not wear out easily if they are made of a good-quality fabric and if they are cared for properly. Due to the thickness of corduroy fabric, corduroy pants tend to make their wearer look heavier than they are. Someone who is trying to put together an outfit that will make him appear thinner should not wear corduroy pants. This person will look his best in pants made of a thinner fabric. On the other hand, corduroy pants look great on someone who is slim.

Corduroy pants should be cleaned by putting them in the washing machine after turning them inside out. If you wash corduroy pants on the wrong side, they will look new longer. Additionally, line drying will preserve the look of corduroy pants. When your corduroy pants are almost dry on the line but still slightly damp, put them in the dryer on a cool setting for 5 to 10 minutes to avoid wrinkling.
