Cool in Corduroy

Growing up, corduroy has always reminded me of the ’70s, old furniture, and blazers with elbow patches. But thanks to new fabrics, spandex, and stores like Forever 21, corduroy can be fun, comfortable, and stylish once again. And just because it’s spring doesn’t mean you need to wear pink, yellow, or light blue pants. Red or orange skinny pants work all year round and look just as good in the fall as they do in the summer.

My key for colored pants is to keep the rest of the outfit fairly simple. This silk pocketed dress shirt is light and summery and still casual with the rolled up sleeves.
