The case for corduroy

Levis cords The case for corduroy
In a time where men can get away with wearing women’s leopard print jeggings, it is understandable why a lot of normal guys stay away from infusing color into their pants repertoire. While you really only need one pair of jeans in your closet, it’s nice to have another option to spice things up (or if you are doing laundry). In the fall, corduroy is a great fabric. Corduroy is durable and warm but has gotten a bad wrap over the years, conjuring up visions of the 90s, pleats, and dad-diaper butt. There is a solution: the 5-pocket cord. Cut just like denim, 5-pocket cords offer the warmth, durability, and colors of corduroy with the feel of your favorite pair of jeans. While tan, navy, and brown are standards when it comes to corduroy, try to spice things up with pair like the Levi’s 514 Bedford Cord in ox blood above. Don’t over think the color: a worn-in flannel shirt, a denim jacket, and some simple sneakers will get the job done.
