Corduroy, this season's trendiest material

You loved it during autumn 2021, and now corduroy has become the star material for spring 2022. The infamous corduroy is available in skirts, trousers, and above all jackets for lightweight off-season wear. What is corduroy? Why is it in fashion this year? What kind of clothes can you match it with? In this article, we will tell you a little more about it.

What is corduroy?

Produced by weaving, corduroy is a collection of vertical columns of stitches. It is mainly used to make various types of clothing, including jackets, trousers, skirts and caps. Corduroy can also be used for furniture. Corduroy was the leading fashion material in the 1970s. Remember bell-bottom trousers, ribbed jackets with collars and velvet shirts. It’s a material that is usually worn in the autumn because it provides protection from the first fresh winds while remaining light.

Why is the corduroy jacket back in fashion for spring 2022?

Corduroy is a material that was somewhat shunned in the early 2000s. At the time, it was considered a little too old-fashioned by fashionistas. However, it’s making a comeback this year. During the autumn of 2021, we started to see the emergence of corduroy jackets and for this spring, we will see that fashion designers are using it to their heart's content, to the delight of those who wear it. Indeed, corduroy is soft, warm and light at the same time. It's pleasant to the touch and allows you to cope with the cooler autumn and spring weather without having to dig out your winter coat. In addition, the corduroy jacket is very popular with retro-style lovers for its vintage feel.

Which corduroy clothing is on trend for spring ?

Finally, corduroy is so popular that it's showing up on all of the shelves. The most popular corduroy clothes for spring 2022 are the following :

  • The corduroy jacket : It’s spring's star product. For days when it’s still a little too chilly, this is an excellent compromise between a winter coat and a cotton jacket. It offers a very vintage style, especially when chosen in navy blue, khaki or rust tones. It can be worn with jeans as well as with a skirt or straight cotton trousers. For a truly retro effect, wear it with high-waisted jeans and a loose-fitting t-shirt.
  • Corduroy Bermuda shorts : If you're looking for a stylish garment to wear, you'll definitely want to check out our corduroy Bermudas, or shorts. They can be worn above the knee with or without tights, depending on the season. Last autumn, we wore beige corduroy Bermuda shorts with a woollen jumper. For spring, we'll go for a lighter look with shorter shorts and patterned tank tops.
  • The long corduroy skirt : We love this skirt for its slightly bohemian feel. Nevertheless, it will be put back in the wardrobe at the end of spring, when we'll need to switch to lighter clothes. You'll appreciate this long skirt in the evenings, as soon as the cooler air arrives.
  • The corduroy cap : This is definitely the most fashionable vintage accessory currently available, as it’s a throwback to 1980s men's caps.
