This season’s trendiest textile was originally favored by British men for tailored workwear and sports apparel. That was followed by a period of worldwide popularity in the 1970s, when corduroy showed up on miniskirts, flared trousers, and dinner jackets. It fell out of fashion soon after, but you wouldn't know it by the fall/winter 2017 runways, where corduroy once again showed up everywhere, in a variety of silhouettes for men and women that referenced both historic and contemporary styles. Here, eight stylish ways to incorporate the new-again fabric into your cold-weather wardrobe.
