Easy-wearing and deeply comforting cord dresses are everywhere tis autumn – these are the ones we’re living in.
As air grows crisper, we find ourselves merrily embracing the shift towards the cosy, the comforting and the warming. Frankly, what we want most of all at this time of year is to throw on clothes that are the sartorial equivalent to a hug, a hot water bottle or a piping hot pot of tea. Happily, then, at the forefront this season is corduroy, a tactile and timeless fabric that is not only warmth-giving but nostalgic too (childhood dungarees and pinafores leap to mind), thus delivering comfort twice over.
Whether in jumbo or needlecord, we’re sold on every iteration and, as demonstrated by AW24’s crop of cord winter frocks, they are endlessly easy too: simply throw on a pair of boots and go. Squint and some even ape a luxe velvet look – whilst being a great deal easier to care for. Here, we’ve rounded up the best options to carry you stylishly through the cooler months.
