20 Best Velvet and Corduroy Pants for Women
Even blue-jean loyalists have to admit: come winter, sometimes you want something a little more substantial and seasonally-appropriate than your favorite pair of distressed skinnies. If denim brands have anything to say about it, you’ll be reaching for plush velvet or ‘70s-style corduroy instead for 2018; they’ve translated easy jeans silhouettes into both fabrics this season, so you don’t have to go too far outside your comfort zone to try either trend. What cords and velvet offer is texture, which, when you think about it, is really the best thing about cold-weather fashion. Pair velvet kick flares with a fisherman sweater and some patent-leather above-the-ankle boots, or try mom-jean-style cords with a sherpa-lined jacket and a fuzzy blanket scarf, and you’ll be chic and cozy all at once. And while black is a classic choice, we’re also partial to less expected shades like persimmon, pale pink, and merlot. Shop 20 perfect pairs below.
