The corduroy suit has left your father’s closet, ditched the elbow patches, and gotten a trimmer fit. It’s even endorsed by GQ. Today’s corduroy suits are all grown up. Finer wales (the rises in the material) mean more precise tailoring and a way more flattering fit.

Keep the shirt and accessories minimal to avoid looking like you rolled out of bed a couple decades too late. For warm coloured cord like the suits above, we recommend picking solid coloured shirts in cooler colour ranges (think greys, black, and blues), no tie or a skinny solid tie, and brown brogues. Blazers from corduroy suits are also a perfect match for dark denim, so you can stretch one suit out over multiple outfits.
