I have been looking for a pair of brown cords after I saw some photos of Carolyn Bessett Kennedy wearing them. She was the epitome of 90s minimalist chic. She wore them with black sweaters.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340335 Tue, 03 Oct 2023 13:15:31 +0000 Anonymous 2340335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #3 and #6! How about trying them with a mesh top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340264 Tue, 03 Oct 2023 00:23:16 +0000 Kyle 2340264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>&nbsp;Helena</b>, yes! This was my first thought about how to style these pants. I’d probably opt for a black turtleneck and black boots. Hard to go wrong with that combo. Sure did love her style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340246 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 21:18:50 +0000 Helena 2340246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your rendition. These are very Carolyn Bessette Kennedy! Your ivory is a fresh twist on her black, but a dark neutral would work well here as an alternative for you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340240 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 20:52:26 +0000 Style Fan 2340240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great flares, Kyle.&nbsp; I love the colour.&nbsp; I like how you have styled them.&nbsp; I gave up on semi-tucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340112 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 18:30:01 +0000 Janet 2340112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are cool, Kyle! I like that color a lot and would pair it with blues, as well as black, charcoal and mid grey. Those tops are nice with the cords too. Semi-tucks can take a little work, so I hear you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340109 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 18:21:48 +0000 Angie 2340109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo! KILLER looks in pics #3 and #6. Those tops are perfect <b>Kyle</b>, and fab suggestions from our Fabbers :)</p> <p>You could wear the pants in a tall size, so that they drape at PPL's in the traditional YLF way. Rest assured though, that this is the NEW shorter full length that is as fashionable and fab. It's all about your preference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340070 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 00:20:39 +0000 Jaime 2340070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fantastic on you every which way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340065 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 21:47:32 +0000 Dee 2340065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your stylings, I treat my corduroys just like jeans and pare them with almost any kind of top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340061 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 21:19:16 +0000 Suz 2340061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits, one and all!

Your lacy blouse is beautiful.<br /><b>RunCarla</b>, I tried a turtleneck sweater, but have even more turtleneck options to consider. Your silky button-down idea is interesting and I have a few to play round with, including a solid black.<br /><b>Joy</b>, my first thought was a black turtleneck and casual black booties, so yes.<br /><b>Roberta</b> and <b>Inge</b>, thank you for the great creative ideas and wonderful examples. I would not have considered navy stripes, so now I will, and I have a fun pink turtleneck I will also try! I’m not very adventurous with color, so it’s good for me to be open to new ideas.<br /><b>Jonesy</b>, my closet is full of blues, so I will consider what blue tops I already have that will work. Perhaps a French blue blouse.<br /><b>Suz</b>, I tried a semi-tuck, but…<br /><i><b></b></i><b>L’Abeille</b><i><b></b></i>, I just ordered some black cords. You inspired me.<br /><b>Sarah</b>, that blouse is so, so so pretty! Must have been a gorgeous outfit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340050 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 19:19:49 +0000 Kyle 2340050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dark floral is an NYDJ top that was one of Angie’s picks. A few of you all were suggesting volume up top, so this is what I tried. I wasn’t sure about the cognac/ cinnamon accents because that’s not a color I usually wear, but I guess I do now.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The turtleneck sweater is Nic and Zoe, and I’m not sure it works with these pants, plus it’s too big, and I’ve yet to figure out the half-tuck situation. But several commenters suggested a sweater or a slouchy sweater, and Bijou mentioned blush.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The short sleeve Loft sweater somehow feels very 70s to me. Also thought it would be a good color for these pants and the banded bottom works with high-waisted pants like these without hiding the front pocket detail. I never used to find anything at Loft, but have purchased a few gems over the last couple of years.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340046 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:30:54 +0000 kkards 2340046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a huge fan of the “sandwich” outfit. So the creamy tops with the cream boots are my favorites. But the dark floral works as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2340042 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:12:08 +0000 kellygirl 2340042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, spectacular, Kyle!! I love these pairings. They are SO good! I can't pick a fave. White booties make them look so fresh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339986 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 22:10:52 +0000 sarah 2339986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some cords that color and dressed them up for work with this silky, fluid, patterned blue blouse and sneakers that bookended my hair. I was quite happy with the way it worked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339985 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 21:50:39 +0000 L'Abeille 2339985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar pair (black) that I've had for years and still reach for often in cooler weather. </p> <p>I tend to think 70's silhouettes with them: often a loose blouse or shirt, often with a fancy collar, with a vest overtop. Or even a duster. Sometimes a turtleneck.</p> <p>For footwear, my photo archive mostly shows socks or slippers because my outfit photos were indoors/upstairs! But if I recall, a lot of low-heeled booties. Maybe some loafers or oxfords.This fall and winter I'm more likely to go with ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339977 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 20:52:57 +0000 Suz 2339977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pants! I love all the suggestions so far. I don't wear browns but do love them with creams, blues, teals, golds -- so many options. You could try red for double trend!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd do as <b>Carla</b> and <b>Jonesy</b> suggest and go for a looser top or semi-tucked flowy top (maybe).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339971 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 19:53:32 +0000 Inge 2339971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Super fun pants, and I can see that top working beautifully with them.</div><div><br /></div><div>I got these brown jogger-style cords last year, and wore them with the Finds below. (These types of sweaters might be too warm for your climate, but maybe the colour palettes can give you some extra ideas).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339969 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 19:47:14 +0000 Jonesy 2339969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest something similar to Carla: Since the pants look somewhat fitted, I would pair something a bit looser on top. I love blues with that shade of cinnamon/cognac/warm brown, so I would wear a slouchy blue sweater or a loose button down, semi-tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339946 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:04:54 +0000 Roberta 2339946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually own these! I wear them with EVERYTHING, but I think my favorite combos are:<br /> Denim shirt<br /> Camel roll neck sweater<br /> Navy and white striped knit moto or navy and white striped sweater<br /> White pullover (and white boots)<br /> Dark green pullover sweater </p> <p>For the first time, I will try them with fuchsia and navy sweaters that I bought last year.</p> <p>I like these pants with a more contrasting top to highlight their nutty brownness. Happy wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339945 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:04:40 +0000 Anonymous 2339945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When in doubt, you can wear a black top or some other neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339943 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:56:08 +0000 Bijou 2339943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top you have selected and also the suggestions received. If I had those pants in my wardrobe, I would wear them with a blush lace shirt and blush ankle boots. I also find a denim shirt to work well with corduroy and velvet pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339938 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:20:01 +0000 cat2 2339938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RC, good suggestions; I hadn’t at all considered the silky blouse part of my closet. I think I have a cream top that will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339935 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:44:00 +0000 Carla 2339935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress them up with a silky or fluid/loose fit button down tucked or semi tucked and shoes or boots with a pointed toe. Try a flannel button down and sneakers for casual.</p> <p>Do a dressy cozy look with a cashmere turtleneck, or a casual cozy look with an oversized, slouchey sweater. &nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339932 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:05:19 +0000 cat2 2339932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following, I impulse bought similar pants in teal corduroy. I was thinking my sort of Western looking low boots, since I don’t really wear sneakers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339929 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:55:47 +0000 RobinF 2339929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely wear those together. Seems like the bottoms could be worn almost any way you want. I have burgundy bottoms and like them with beiges and tans more than with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-corduroy-flares#post-2339901 Fri, 29 Sep 2023 02:06:47 +0000 Kyle 2339901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: I tried to incorporate some of your excellent suggestions, styling with a drapey navy top, a beige/blush turtleneck sweater, and a lightweight ivory sweater. My half-tuck needs work.</p> </p>
