For a casual day out, emulate actor Khushi Kapoor’s fit — a pair of brown corduroy wide-legged pants, a matching brown shirt and canvas shoes. You can also opt for beige crop top instead.

Dressy statement

Keep your fashion playful like actor Katrina Kaif, who wore a red corduroy mini dress with a Cuban collar. Cinch it at the waist with a belt and complete the look with white suede boots.

A pop of colour

For a fun twist to corduroy’s usual autumnal hues, opt for a grey oversized shirt like actor Rajkummar Rao. Cap it with jeans and black shoes.

Style tips

• Layer it up: Corduroy is a textured fabric. Layer a corduroy shirt or jacket over a plain T-shirt or a lightweight sweater, respectively.
• Mix and match: Corduroy can be mixed and matched with other fabrics. Create a contrasting look by pairing corduroy bottoms with a silk blouse, leather jacket or a knit top. Have some fun by incorporating a printed or plaid shirt with corduroy pants.
• Play with accessories: Winter calls for beanies and caps that pair well with corduroy looks. You can also wear chains with statement pendants and adorn your hands with a few rings.
