I don't agree with such comments. There are a lot of Men's dress specialists who don't agree with you. In the first place, a corduroy suit is a two or three pieces of corduroy. Watch for the wales. An 14 wale per inch corduroy jacket doesn't go well with a 8 wale per inch corduroy jeans but I have seen a lot of young college men rightly dressed who wore a corduroy jacket with corduroy jeans or pants. Some college have as uniform a green or brown corduroy jacket with tan corduroy pants or marine corduroy jacket with gray corduroy pants. You should take a look at the nice combinations some designers do with corduroy. The color combination is a problem, not the texture. Whatever the texture, a bad color combination is not good. A thing to watch is to wear 8 wpi pants or jeans with 8 wpi jacket. A 12 wpi jeans with a 12 wpi jacket...
It is stupid to say corduroy is out of style. It depends what we do with it. Is cotton out of style? Is leather out of style? It depends how it is used. The bad thing about corduroy is that it is a durable fabric and some people still wear some items when it is out of shape.
My 28 year old nephew just came in from work as as a psychologist. He wore a Ralph Lauren loden green wide wale corduroy jacket with a dark brown corduroy pants. His grand mother thinks he is well dressed, me too and his gay boy friend too.

Only one piece of corduroy at a time. especially, if the colors do not match.

Just my opinion, but that would be too much.

Its never fashionable to wear corduroy in the first place.

One piece is enough unless the 2 corduroys are an exact match in fabric......same depth and width of cord....and that's hard to do.
If you do have 2 pieces like that, then wear a shirt/blouse under the jacket which pulls the two colours together. Shoes to match the pants.....purse to match the jacket....earrings...oh, wait...too much, right?

In my opinion, you can never wear too much corduroy.....loved it for years, especially the thick wide wale stuff. It just feels right to wear it.

You're reading Would it be fashionably ok to wear corduroy pants and a different coloured corduroy jacket? Or is that just too much corduroy?

Good answer, especially the advice about wales, many people do not even know what that is. I am a former fashion designer.
