Corduroy IS ALWAYS a good idea

Swap denim for this super-cool fabric and get yourself some textural therapy

From the late Jane Birkin in baggy trousers and a trench coat at Paris Fashion Week to Alexa Chung in a chocolate brown cord blazer and party dress, this ribbed cotton fabric is a perennial It girl favourite. Counting up the cord in my closet, there are three pairs of trousers, two blazers, and when I want to go for full-on hygge chic, an army green jumpsuit. This reliable wardrobe staple is comfortable, snug - and a superb way to conjure up a little casual glamour.
