HOW TO STYLE CORDUROY TROUSERS

From Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan to fashion’s cyclical nature, it's clear that we're in the midst of a corduroy renaissance. But don’t worry – when it comes to styling your corduroy trousers, you need not adhere to the 70s rulebook of a shaggy hairdo, shearling-collared jacket and cowboy boots. Your existing hoodies, trainers and winter layers will still prove effective. If you need some ‘fitspo on how to wear yours, just look below.

If you’re hesitant to switch from denim to corduroy, Bershka offers a solution. These men's corduroy pants look very similar to a pair of blue baggy jeans – so style them how you’d style your denim. A cosy jumper, chunky beanie and slouchy bag in a navy-and-grey palette complements the seasonal scenery. Low-pros like adidas Originals Japans or Tokyos balance out the oversized proportions – making this casual look still feel intentional.

Some of our favourite men's cord trousers come in the form of baggy silhouettes – a style that's part of Tyler, The Creator’s signature aesthetic. Pair relaxed camel cords with a cardigan (the more nostalgic the pattern, the better), Timberland boat shoes and silver jewellery to nail the eclectic grandpa vibes. With a ‘fit this good, we’re sure Tyler would approve.

You can easily strike the perfect business-casual balance with corduroy trousers – especially when paired with a co-ordinating top half. ASOS Collective got ahead of the trend with this deep brown set. Consisting of cord trousers and a matching shacket, this look is perfect for when you're visiting the pub or your in-laws. A crisp shirt and sleek loafers are key to looking polished, but not uptight. The devil’s in the details – tuck your shirt into your trousers, then tie the whole look together with a belt.

The best thing about this trouser style? They’re comfier than denim and their soft texture makes them feel cosy – a must-have for your winter wardrobe lineup. When heading into the frost, style yours with a heavyweight hoodie and statement jacket, and break up the neutrals with a dose of colour. While Birkenstocks might feel a little too spring/summer, they bring a casual-cool edge to the outfit. When you're in need of more protective shoes, look no further than chunky trainers or boots.
