It’s cold out, which means it’s finally time to start wearing corduroy pants with sneakers. This isn’t your grandfather’s style. The pairing of a classic pair of trousers with tennis shoes gives a much more relaxed, less formal twist to the outfit without sacrificing any elegance. Last winter, the textured pants became the go-to for polished, minimalist, quiet luxury looks. Now, we’re seeing them interpreted in a slightly more casual way that works perfectly for looking cool at work or for weekend plans with friends.
That’s not to say corduroy pants with sneakers give off a mismatched look. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this fall-winter pant trend, it’s that these trousers are versatile enough to wear with everything. It’s all about what vibe you want to project and how dressy or low-key you want to look with them.
For example, if you prefer something retro, try brown corduroy with Adidas Samba sneakers for a bit of ‘70s/’80s flair. For a more alternative look, a pair of Converse with black pants are the answer. The list goes one—but it’s better for you to discover for yourself the variety of outfits you can achieve with these two closet staples.
But if you still need a little inspiration, we’ve gathered several looks for you below. Here’s how to wear corduroy pants with sneakers this winter.
