Best Pink Corduroy Jackets: All Under $150

Corduroy isn’t exactly known for its sex appeal. The fabric is stiff, thick, and relatively unforgiving. It's what your parents dressed you in as a kid. It’s the name of the bear who wears a notoriously unsexy pair of baggy green overalls in the classic children’s book. Corduroy isn’t denim and it isn’t leather. It doesn’t have a reputation for being worn by rock stars or models. Although, I will say, Bradley Cooper did look good wearing it in American Hustle. But this isn’t about him.

What I’m trying to get at is that corduroy is an unexpected candidate for most popular fabric of 2018, but it just might be. Marc Jacobs, who has a knack for taking things that seem otherwise unwearable and making them beautiful, prominently used cord in the designs for his fall 2017 collection. That same fashion week, Miuccia Prada showed corduroy too. Jacobs models looked like they had just stepped out of the screen from a film called Hip-Hop Evolution (his inspiration) whereas Prada’s appeared to be walking off the streets of Italy in the sixties. Regardless, everyone actually looked good in corduroy (and not like a teddy bear), and other brands like MSGM, Gucci, Helmut Lang and Tom Ford took note.

In the past couple of weeks, more attainable brands like Mango, Rag & Bone, Topshop, and H&M have started stocking anything and everything in corduroy. There’s even a corduroy puffer. But the most popular piece I can’t stop thinking about is a pink corduroy jacket. If there is a single piece every brand has made without fail, it’s that.
