When I'm tired of wearing jeans this winter, I'll opt for this trendy alternative instead.
As someone who usually wears jeans, you'd assume I'd never miss a chance to put them on. I enjoy a good pair of low-rise baggy jeans or fitted skinny straight-legs just like anyone else, but occasionally, there’s nothing quite as stylish as tailored trousers. That said, I've observed a new trouser trend that sits somewhere between the casual vibe of jeans and the formal look of tailored pants. Let me introduce you to the corduroy trousers trend.
Much like the fashion sentiments of 2025, there's a return to nostalgia. However, these aren’t the brightly colored, bell-bottomed corduroy trousers reminiscent of the '70s and Abba Voyage. Today's corduroys evoke the style of '80s Princess Diana before her wedding and '90s Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in her classic black-turtleneck look. They take the elegance of traditional trousers but infuse them with a modern twist. A quick glance through my social feeds confirms that the corduroy trousers of 2025 appear significantly more sophisticated than their retro versions.
Available in a wide range of colors and shapes, I've noticed corduroy trousers in virtually every hue and fit imaginable, but their popularity surged on the autumn/winter 2025 runways before hitting the streets. From Chanel's jeweled blue corduroys to the tan pairs showcased by Burberry, this trouser trend has firmly established itself as a key favorite for A/W 2025.
Since then, trousers made from this fabric have been increasingly sought after, with the search term "corduroy trousers" experiencing a 180% rise on Google Trends. With high street brands following suit, and retailers from Marks and Spencer to COS launching their own popular versions, it’s clear that we’ll be seeing more of these trousers in the months ahead. Without delay, scroll to shop my selection of the corduroy trousers trend.
