Gosh don’t you look retro cute! I love how the color coordinates with your hair color! These are a great addition for your closet! I have always loved the jeans and cords with the front patch pockets too. Never actually owned a pair. But I love the youthfulness they inject into an outfit. I would be tempted to pair them with a halter or off-shoulder top and glitter eyeshadow heheh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352620 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 12:37:50 +0000 harmonica 2352620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable outfit!

I think the great cut emphasizes long legs for the slender, or great curves for the curvy.<br />Star--yes, thanks. I really do like the orange in my shoes and the red with the black. Less girly colors pop, somehow.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352312 Fri, 09 Feb 2024 19:26:20 +0000 BrieN 2352312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I have this same style from the Gap in the wine velvet and I Love them. Had been eyeing the exact ones you have but they were sold out in my size every time I checked. I did get the white version and didn’t care for them - I felt like they needed to be thicker. </p> <p>They are great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352258 Fri, 09 Feb 2024 03:29:33 +0000 Lee 2352258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great retro vibes outfit.

I wore them with a men’s brown leather belt and a sweatshirt. I loved them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352199 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 20:36:45 +0000 Jonesy 2352199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fab!

KILLER fit! The colour goes well with your hair. Fun to see a top pick in action :)</p> <p>The Gap is doing good bottoms at the moment.</p> <p>Are you going to have them hemmed a bit? </p> <p>Loved the '70s show! Very fun fashion.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352139 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 13:25:50 +0000 RobinF 2352139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these!

I’m also a fan of Johnny! I love that this combines rockabilly, 80s-style black band tee, and 70s pants… and yet feels effortless and authentic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352119 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 06:31:32 +0000 Star (Lise) 2352119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this punky urban look and your hair is super cute.&nbsp; Very cool all round.&nbsp; You have managed to make an outfit from cords and a T by tying in the color of your Nikes with your T, and the belt with your soles.&nbsp; Well done!&nbsp; And yes those cords fit you like a glove and look totally fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352117 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 05:55:46 +0000 Kyle 2352117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same cords and completely different body type. Funny how that works, isn’t it? I also like the pockets in front, and feel very 70s wearing them. You look great in these with your sneakers and graphic tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352099 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 01:48:59 +0000 Jaime 2352099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352086 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 01:14:46 +0000 Kate 2352086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great cords, love the color, and your outfit is excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352082 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 01:08:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2352082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are fantastic on you. What a fun outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-retro-corduroys#post-2352080 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 01:05:58 +0000 Carol 2352080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did get these from one of Angie's posts. I think it was the cord post. These are from the Gap. I love them because they fit like a glove on the slender model, but also looks great on a curvier body type.</p> <p>The photos don't do the cut justice. They are really quite flared.&nbsp;</p> <p>This would be a typical outfit for me with these cords--black Johnny Cash tee and orange Nikes.&nbsp; But they are so versatile--they also go with a peasant blouse or classic dress shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>My favorite detail is the little square pockets on front, which makes them feel from the roller rink era.&nbsp; I made a mistake when I sized them...I just got regular instead of measuring my inseam. Now they are too long, and I roll them up. Next time I will spend a little more time on that detail.&nbsp;</p> <p>Edit 2/8: I added the original photo of the ad, which sold me.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
