Corduroy Shirts That Don't Look Cheap

Corduroy is one of those fabrics that rewards you for caring about it. The wrong shirt, and you look like an afterthought. The right one, and there's a texture and warmth to your outfit that no plain cotton can replicate. The problem is that most corduroy shirts are cut too boxy, made from cord that's too thick, or finished with buttons that cheapen the whole thing the moment you look closely. We've been looking specifically at fine to midwale options where the fabric has some drape to it and the construction holds up to the scrutiny a casual shirt actually gets. These work open over a t-shirt, buttoned up under a wool overshirt, or tucked into heavier trousers when the temperature genuinely drops. Earth tones are the obvious choice and the obvious choice is obvious for a reason, but we've also found a few colours worth considering if you want something less expected. None of these look like they cost less than they do.
