Cord sharp

We’re looking less drab don, more dashing dandy,

as a 1970s fabric gets a modern makeover

All hail the new Canadian tuxedo as corduroy takes

centre stage this season, knocking double denim off

its pedestal. No longer just the uniform of ponderous

professors, the material is satisfying our craving for

cosy fabrics. From Symonds Pearmain to Y/Project,

1970s-infused pieces have been given a fashion revamp

with on-trend cord co-ords replacing stiff jackets on

the catwalk. But it’s Jacob Cohën that has given

a thoroughly modern twist to the ridged fabric with

a colour combination of deep teal and bright rust,

spread across straight-leg trousers and casual shirts

to mix and match. The luxury denim label has really

put us in the mood for vintage staples far removed

from the old-school clichés of conventional cord.
