1. I'm tired of wearing blue jeans.
2. Khaki pants are vegetable lasagna.
3. Grey pants look too much like dress pants.
4. Why Not?
A pair of khaki colored corduroy pants with a thin valley of cord are not only comfortable they look nice and different. Check these bad boys out from Levi's Japan. photo from hypebeast

Some things to watch out for: need a thin valley of cord, pockets need to be like jeans (on the top/not side), and other colors are sweet, but steer clear of dark brown.
roll up the pant legs a little bit
add some supersweet/classic topsiders

boom you've got yourself a sweet post-winter pre-spring pant/shoe combination.
boat shoes?
ReplyDeletedude, yea. welcome to a classic sweet shoe. I'd love to hear suggestions for a better shoe to go with these pants.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could change the tone of corduroys to make them more formal with a nicer shoe? or are they pigeonholed as casual pants?
just sooo preppy. I don't think you try to dress up these cords. I think you intentionally make them the everyday pants that jeans are.
ReplyDeleteI think i'd prefer a casual brown shoe in the same universe as boat shoes, but my grunge days just preclude me from wearing boat shoes.
