Until recently, ribbed corduroy items were considered old-fashioned, but today this material is relevant again and not only in the format of vintage products - ultra-modern trendy models are conquering the catwalks.
There is an opinion that women's corduroy clothing is for practical and modest women, but even such thick fabric can look very stylish and seductive. How to choose a corduroy item to be on trend?
Features of the material
Previously, corduroy was considered exclusively a winter material; it was worn maximum in the off-season. Modern variations of this fabric are quite suitable for creating summer and even evening dresses.
Traditionally, corduroy is made from cotton fibers; this material retains heat well and is pleasant to the touch. But increasingly, manufacturers are adding synthetic fibers, thanks to which the fabric acquires new properties.
Corduroy with the addition of synthetics hardly wrinkles and shrinks less when washed; it is more durable and wear-resistant. But there are also disadvantages - such fabric is electrified, it is better to stock up on antistatic agent. Material made from viscose and polyester can be quite light - suitable for summer sundresses, tops and skirts.
Once upon a time, corduroy fabrics were made mainly in subdued colors: camel, beige, chocolate, khaki. Today you can choose from a huge selection, including snow-white as well as bright acidic shades.
Sundress for the office
What is a sundress for the office?
Instead of thin (sometimes too wrinkled) and bright fabric, fashion designers used wrinkle-resistant dense materials with the addition of wool and viscose.
The silhouette of the sundress has become more fitted, and instead of frivolous thin straps and a neckline, a full bodice has appeared, cut without sleeves. This circumstance allows you to wear a blouse or thin knitted knee socks under a sundress, which perfectly refreshes the appearance of the product, giving it newness. You can have a whole arsenal of blouses and sweaters in stock in order to look different every day.
Trousers
When it comes to corduroy clothing, trousers immediately come to mind. Previously, styles that flared from the knee were popular, but fashionable corduroy trousers in 2021 are completely different stylistic solutions.
Chanel fashion house offers oversized black tapered trousers with slits from the knee to the hem and decorated with gold buttons.
We see the same oversized design from the Tod’s , but in a rich red shade.
At Dolce&Gabbana, white oversized trousers are tucked into black high-top lace-up boots.
AWAKE Mode has a brown tint.
But Miu Miu showed bright blue trousers, flared from the knee, which can be used to create looks in a nautical style.
Isabel Marant Etoile offered a semi-sporty model in black - tapered legs ending in neat cuffs.
Sara Battaglia brand showcases white trousers that flare heavily from the knee and are fitted at the top.
Brunello Cucinelli 's collection includes cream-colored banana trousers with a cut-off line above the knees.
Victoria Beckham has classic trousers with creases in a cappuccino shade.
What to wear with trendy models this year?
Pants look chic as part of a suit with a shirt, jacket or even a corduroy coat.
You can pair corduroy trousers with vintage blouses, soft oversized jumpers, classic windbreakers, blazers, compact bombers, turtlenecks, and down jackets.
Suits
A two-piece suit made of corduroy looks very impressive, but where can you wear such a set and how best to dress it up?
If you don't have a strict dress code at work, you can wear straight trousers and a classic long corduroy jacket.
As a blouse, you can use a thin turtleneck sweater, turtleneck or office shirt, but the latter option will be the least feminine.
Cropped trousers, a naked jacket and white sneakers look stylish. If semi-sports styles are used, you can wear jersey T-shirts and tank tops and any sports shoes.
Those who love unusual solutions can try on a hot pink suit with a country-style cotton tunic shirt in white and pink check. Pumps with heels and a simple but contrasting color blouse without a collar are suitable for the holiday.
Fashionable corduroy suits of 2021 are not only trousers and tops; suits with skirts are trendy.
A fitted pencil skirt to the knee or slightly below and a thin corduroy shirt in the same shade is a chic outfit for a festive event.
A tapered mid-thigh skirt and a fitted vest are an elegant solution for office everyday life.
A tatyanka skirt and a crop top with straps are suitable for slender young girls as a casual outfit, and a mini skirt and a cropped jacket can be combined with sneakers and a youth T-shirt.
Shirts
A fashionable corduroy shirt can play the role of a blouse or jacket, and can also be used to create layered looks. Which model should you choose?
The French brand Isabel Marant Etoile offers a men's cut shirt in a tea rose shade with chest pockets and metal buttons, which can completely replace a light bomber jacket in cool weather.
From the Styland we see chest pockets with flaps, a cream color and no fastening; such a thing can be worn as a cardigan.
Wales Bonner brand showed the public a multi-colored shirt in the pop art style - for lovers of non-standard outfits.
MSGM brand has an elongated model with a belt in a light fuchsia shade that will look chic with leggings.
Folk brand has a shirt with large patch pockets at the bottom, the style resembles an elongated denim jacket.
Stüssy brand relied on a combination of materials, adding blue denim sleeves to a mustard-colored corduroy shirt.
The easiest way is to combine ribbed shirts with jeans and leather. If you don't want to look old-fashioned, wear trendy trousers and skirts, such as boyfriend pants with rips.
By choosing the right shade, you can fit a corduroy shirt into preppy, country, boho, safari, and military styles.
You can create an impressive layered look by wearing a shirt over a knitted turtleneck, rolling up the sleeves of the shirt, and putting an open denim vest on top.
Caring for light, colored and gray items
It is difficult to care for this material. But these tips will help simplify this process as much as possible.
Washing and drying
The thing turns inside out. It is better to wash it by hand, cleaning the fabric yourself from dirt and dust. If using a washing machine is necessary, then the water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, and you should choose a delicate mode with or without spinning at low speeds. Dry cleaning would be a good option.
The item dries naturally, without any spinning. Do not use drying or heating appliances. Exposure to sunlight is also undesirable.

It is necessary to ensure that the fabric is dry, but not too dry. The structure may be damaged and the item will become unusable.
Jackets
The most popular style of corduroy jackets is sheepskin jackets, cut like jeans.
Metal buttons, chest and side pockets, shirt cuffs and a classic turn-down collar are the main details of these models.
Among the corduroy jackets that are fashionable this year, you can see lightweight versions with a knitted hood in a contrasting shade.
Also in trend are double-breasted fitted coats and short coats with a belt, which are usually worn similar to a classic trench coat.
Corduroy bomber jackets are confidently coming into fashion; they can be either with knitted elastic bands along the bottom edge and on the cuffs, or without them.
Unlined cropped bomber jackets can be worn even on summer evenings, paired with bra tops and shorts.
Another fresh trend is a corduroy down jacket; this model looks quite elegant and gentle if you choose a product in a pastel shade.
A stylish alternative to the classic parka, the ribbed parka is softer to the touch and looks cozier.
Sundress for the office - photo
Remember that at work you should look as charming as on a date with your beloved man, so do not hesitate to experiment with colors and shapes, especially since an office sundress provides you with such a unique opportunity!
Skirts
The classic corduroy skirt is a mid-thigh length A-line with a vertical row of metal buttons in the center of the front.
If this option seems too boring to you, try on a similar model - a straight, loose skirt with a high waistline, a belt and draperies at the top. This skirt is best worn with tight-fitting blouses and turtlenecks, tucked in, as well as elastic bodysuits.
Fashionable pencil-style corduroy skirts include high-waisted options, asymmetrical models, skirts with zipper decor, and leather inserts. You can traditionally wear such items with turtlenecks or thin oversized jumpers, tucking the front edge of the jumper into the waistband of the skirt.
Do you like long skirts? Take a closer look at the Tatyanka skirts made of thin corduroy with patch pockets at the level of the hands; such models look great with sweatshirts and youth-style T-shirts.
But a multi-tiered floor-length skirt, complemented by a thin lace braid along the seams connecting the tiers, will fit perfectly into the popular boho style.
Dresses
Fashionable corduroy dresses in 2021 are presented in the form of charming models; such things look stylish and fresh. A ribbed fabric piece will be the centerpiece of any look.
A universal model is a shirt dress made of corduroy; this year, pay attention to elongated options in midi or even maxi format. A loose silhouette will help hide figure flaws, and slender girls can complement the look with a strap or belt. The best shoes to wear are sneakers; espadrilles or sandals with cork wedges are also suitable.
Another current style is a dress with a flared skirt to the knee or mid-thigh and a bodice in the form of a shirt with buttons. This model can be worn with sneakers, ankle boots, ankle boots, and oxfords.
Vintage corduroy sundresses with wide straps are trending; wear them with turtlenecks or blouses with a bow collar. Strappy Mary Janes are a great addition to your outfit.
For a boho look, choose a dress with a tiered skirt. Choose cowboy boots, a large pendant, drop earrings, and decorate your hair with a lace headband or an embroidered ribbon.
Corduroy dresses with zippers look most modern, and the zipper can be at the top of the product, on the skirt, or extend from the neckline to the hem. To emphasize the proportions of the silhouette, choose a tight-fitting sundress with a pencil skirt and wear it without a blouse or top.
Corduroy is back in trend – fashionable styles made from ribbed fabric look unconventional and stylish.
The most current shades include tea rose, burgundy, khaki, chocolate, taupe, fuchsia. Products made from corduroy do not need decoration - the texture of the fabric itself becomes the main highlight and does not allow a fashionista to go unnoticed.

Tips for fat people
A women's corduroy dress for curvy figures should be chosen based on the following tips from fashion designers:
- minimalism in accessories;
- maintaining uniformity in the set;
- choose the most advantageous cut - trapezoid, A-line, straight cut and others.
Models made from fine ribbed material are preferable, since large rib visually enlarges the figure. Black and dark blue colors visually make the silhouette slimmer.
