How to Style Wide Leg Corduroy Pants
You know it’s Autumn when the leaves start turning color, pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere, and you suddenly feel like getting cozy in a pair of comfy corduroy pants!
I love the soft, warm feel of corduroy pants and how they add earthy texture to a casual fall look. This year, wide-leg is the new silhouette that everyone is rockin’.
Today, I’m sharing this fabulous pair of wide-leg cords. Check these out, and see how I’ve styled them to look modern and cool.

The Trendy Silhouette
Go wide or go home is the message behind these trendy corduroy pants. As soon as I slipped them on, every other kind of pant suddenly felt outdated! Plus, these are fun to wear, too.
The best thing about this particular pair is the fit. They’re snug through the hips and flare out like sailor pants. They have plenty of stretch, and the square patch pockets are a cute detail.

How to Style Wide Leg Cords
One popular way to wear wide-leg cords is with a sleeveless or cap-sleeve top. The sleeveless top can be a turtleneck or a knit vest. I chose a luxurious cashmere mock neck sweater.
I’ve always loved mock necks because they are minimalistic and modern. They’re quite flattering on gals our age because they they aren’t hot like a turtleneck, and they as high so they don’t push loose aging neck skin.
The other thing I love about this sweater are the bold shoulders. Cap sleeves make your shoulders look broad, which in turns makes your waist look small, since the sweater narrows at your waist, giving you a great shape.
This is a causally elegant-looking outfit, so I chose some Dean Davidson to go along with it. I’m wearing pieces from Dean’s Forme collection. The brushed gold swirl cuff and gold drop earrings are classically French, and were inspired by Dean’s trip to Paris. They’re sophisticated, understated, and modern.
These rich chocolate brown suede booties are perfect for creating an elegant, monochromatic look. They’re from Amazon – The Drop ( the influencer-inspired line by Amazon) and are a really good buy!
A small heel enhances the look of wide-leg pants. These ones are just high enough to make balance the flare and make the pants look sleek. The pointy toe also helps give that elegant, long, lean look.

Great post; thank you so much for this excellent writeup article about how to wear Style Wide Leg Corduroy Pants; I just learned some new ways from you.
I absolutely love this look on you!
Thanks Jo-Lynne, I thought I’d feel a little retro in them, but they feel totally new and fresh! I’d love to see a pair on you.
Great look, Deborah! I have some boot-cut cords from maybe two decades ago (Jones New York) that I love to wear. I’m looking forward to trying more styles this fall.
Terry, Amazing you can still wear them after all these years. You must be in great shape!
I, too, am over the ripped and torn look in clothing. Thankfully, many designers are as well. Don’t get rid of your skinny jeans, though. Despite the current trend in wider legs, they’ll be around for a long time. I think there is room for both in our closets.
HI JL, I agree skinny jeans are classic, and I have kept a few of my favorites, but that high booties skinny jeans fitted top look has gone by the wayside. Maybe I’ll do a post on modern ways to style them!
I’m kinda leary of wide-leg pants being petite. Those with patch pockets on the front would seem like they would make you have a stomach even if you don’t. I work hard at strength training at our healthplex here to build muscle, strength & and core not for vanity but for bone. My doctor recommended it when I was there last. Is there any way petites can follow this trend and get away with it, or do we have to wear 3-inch heels all day? Ha! You look great in those pants!!! You are tall enough to wear anything gracefully!
Hi Bonnie, You are right. Petites can be overwhelmed by wide leg pants but you can wear them. Look for a high waist to elongate your legs, tuck in and don’t go for ultrawide. Choose a less wide, wide leg. As for flatter shoes, how about a platform running shoe or platform sandals of an inch and half or 2. Those would be comfy. Hope that helps. Cheers, Deb
