Manual of use of the garment of the season: the pink corduroy trousers
December 05, 2017
The
looks of the 'street style' are elevating this piece to the category of
essential and, although it may seem complicated, its possibilities are more
than you can imagine
María
José Pérez Méndez - @_MariaJosePerez - Corduroy is one of those
materials that love or hate each other. It is not a fabric that, paradoxically,
admits temperate postures; perhaps because of the texture contribution it
brings to any look, perhaps because of its ability to awaken memories of
childhood and adolescence. And yet, with all its seventies load and its retro
reminiscences, it has become a space between the shoulder pads of the 80s and
the casual (a little excessive) of the 2000 as fabric of the season in a very
specific color and garment: trousers (corduroy) pink.
This, from the outset, the mere
mention of the piece (pinkcorduroytrousers, all together and fast) can cause some snorting
intrinsic complication. Spain. Pink. In a pair of pants Although there is some
editor of Vogue.es that remembers this combination with the fondness of
childhood memories (the warmth of the fabric for winter, the cliché of color),
it is also aware that the translation to the here and now may be difficult
beyond of its combination with white or black, especially when the tones leave
the viral pink powder to tend to the salmon or directly to the fuchsia. Another
coordinate to take into account? The high shot and the straight cut (never too
tight to the leg, the skinny format at the moment is not contemplated) or
flared.
The inescapable aesthetic weight
(which was already intuited, for example in Nina Ricci or Tibi) makes it one of those garments that, seen once,
all seen. But nothing is further from reality: the street style has been commissioned not only to deny the prejudice,
but to offer a user manual that we
have ordered from minor to major
complication, so that everyone can move on this scale according to the
audacity that have in the body that day.
Grade
number 1: with basic
It is the most obvious option that
will come to mind, but this does not mean that we should neglect it. This is
where most importance comes from those turns that attract a magnet and
contribute that I do not know what different: opt for a sleeveless shirt
instead of a classic short sleeve; choose
booties that are almost hidden and, finally, add even more texture thanks
to backpacks and tweed bags.
Grade
number 2: with fluffy sweater and arty earrings
The fact that corduroy appears
(usually) in small lines and has a rough and soft appearance makes any fabric
that comes out of simple cotton creates, logically, a texture game that adds dimension.
However, this contrast can be further enhanced thanks to the thick stitch and
wool that weave sweaters that seem like the epitome of winter. If, in addition,
the top includes details such as chimney necks or strips that move it away from
the traditional wardrobe background while approaching the sophisticated
(thanks, also, to special slopes) the effect will be enhanced.
Grade
number 3: with a blazer (unstructured)
Combining a corduroy pants with a
jacket is not a strange gesture at all. In fact, one of the great proposals of
the season is to reinterpret the two pieces tending well to the spirit of the
late 70s, or to the pure and hard masculine vocation; Prada, Marc Jacobs or Ermanno Scervino have the tests.
However, another more accessible option (as less aesthetic commitment) is to
choose a blazer that is already in the closet and attach it to the pants.
The destructuring of the pattern adds points, but anyone can use it to create a
new office look, very new: it will be the rest of the complements that finish
marking the general tone and leave no doubt that their natural habitat are
work.
Grade
number 4: with a striped shirt
Yes, it's just a shirt and that
could put this combo higher up the scale ... If it were not for the pattern and
the mix of colors. If the pink corduroy is already striking, joining it to a
multicolored print guarantees as many looks as a retro spirit (especially if
the set is closed by a pair of heels). The key to make it work? Try to match
any of the t-shirt or jersey tones with the trousers.
Grade
number 5: colored staircase (with street style accessories)
The last level is reserved for
those who want to try this trend next to the full format look dressed with
striking viral meat accessories. Giovanna
Battaglia belongs to that lineage of Italians who knows herself well enough
to be able to undertake all the aesthetic risks she wants and come out
unscathed, that's why she had to be the one to pair the fuchsia corduroy pants
(nothing from the previous soft pink) with a less saturated shirt, white
sneakers, strass earrings,
heart-shaped sunglasses and necklace inspired by a rosary.
