In Cord We Trust
With most of our autumn deliveries receipted in, it turns out, this season corduroy is back, in a big way.
A durable, comfortable warm fabric that we’ve also been fond of but are now seeing it used on some of our favourite styles. Scroll down to see how easy it is to introduce cord into your wardrobe.
Take this 100% Italian cord, overshirt-style jacket from Our Legacy. This is a great example of how to wear a stand-out piece of cord whilst remaining fairly low-key.
If you’re new to cord, a pair of pants is the easy option, take the Aston pants by Universal Works for example. Best worn with a darker coloured shirt, a plain white t-shirt or a basic Breton stripe. Always remember to tone it down and don’t mix too many textures in one fit.
Just like denim-on-denim, executed correctly, cord squared can look unreal. What’s key is getting slim cuts, a pop of colour beneath somewhere else and a style it up with some techy footwear.
