Go Code with These Versatile and Easily Cool Shirts
There’s a good chance you haven’t worn corduroy since you were a kid, but I’d argue that corduroy is actually the most manly fabric out there. Despite its thickness, it’s durable, warm, comfortable against the skin, and can withstand a lot of abuse and neglect while maintaining its shape. Visually, it adds a layer of sophistication to any outfit, elevating its humble cotton origins to something a little more upscale and unconventional.
You don’t have to be particularly bold or adventurous to wear corduroy, but adding a little sophistication to a simple outfit can differentiate the truly stylish men from the simply put-together men. You can.
