Corduroy Suits Are Back: How to Wear a Men's Corduroy Suit This Fall

Corduroy suits are back. The soft, ribbed fabric that defined 70s style has returned as one of the easiest ways to add texture and personality to a suit, without going loud. It's dressed-up but relaxed, and it feels right from the first cool day of fall through winter.

Here's why a corduroy suit belongs in your closet, and how to wear one.

Why Choose a Corduroy Suit?

• Texture without trying too hard. The ribbed fabric adds depth that a flat suit can't, so even a simple outfit looks considered.
• Comfort. Our Cordell Corduroy Suit is made from cotton corduroy with a soft hand feel.
• Two looks in one. Wear it as a full suit, or wear the jacket on its own as a corduroy blazer with jeans or chinos.
• Made for the season. Corduroy is a natural fit for fall and winter events, from weddings to holiday parties.

Where to Wear a Corduroy Suit

• Fall and winter weddings: a warm, stylish alternative to a standard suit, especially for rustic, barn or outdoor venues.
• Holiday parties: stands out in the best way without being flashy.
• The office: smart enough for work, relaxed enough for Fridays.
• Date night and dinners: pair it with a knit for an easy, put-together look.

Pick Your Color

• Brown Corduroy Suit: the classic. Warm and earthy, made for fall. Pair it with cream, light blue or rust shirts and brown boots or loafers for a 70s-inspired look that still feels current.
• Black Corduroy Suit: the dressier option. Clean and modern for evening events, with texture that sets it apart from a plain black suit.
• Navy Corduroy Suit: the most versatile. Goes with white or light blue shirts, grey knits, and brown or black shoes.

How to Style a Corduroy Suit

1. Dressed up: crisp white shirt, a knit or wool tie, and leather dress shoes or boots.
2. Modern: swap the shirt and tie for a fine-gauge turtleneck in black, cream or grey.
3. Relaxed: wear the jacket with dark jeans and a simple tee or button-down.
4. Shoes: brown suede boots, loafers or chukkas all look great with corduroy.

Sizing Made Easy

The Cordell is a Drop 6: the pants waist is 6 inches smaller than the jacket size. A 40R jacket comes with 34W pants, and every size option lists both. Available in Regular 38R to 52R and Long 42L to 52L.
