It is no secret that I love corduroy!
From warm hunting pants to western needlecord pearlsnap shirts to californian surfer shorts, you can wear corduroy in any situation. It is heavy enough to drape well, breathable despite the weight, and unfussy enough to machine wash despite being a variation of velvet.
Lets discuss corduroy!

I was given a corduroy shirt. I really don’t know how to wear it. it’s warm so wear it in autumn and winter right? But the cords create so much friction I literally can’t get a jumper on over it. A warm shirt that I can’t layer over is pretty useless.
Maybe the move is to wear it a little unbuttoned when it is a bit warmer out? Or under jackets with smooth linings?
Maybe wear it without a jacket on top while it’s still not cold outside and you figure out what you’d like to pair it with. A few buttons open and sleeves slightly rolled up if you wish.
