If you’re keeping your finger on the pulse of fashion, you’ve likely noticed that there are two key themes rising to the top of the sartorial ranks this season. The first: rich texture, specifically corduroy. The second: power neutrals like creamy winter whites (or, in Pantone’s words, Cloud Dancer hues). Together, they form the rich-looking pant trend dominating our feeds right now.

This month alone, three of our favourite style stars reached for white corduroy pants to elevate their seasonal ensembles. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley posed in The Row’s Dan straight-leg design, where the creamy color and sumptuous texture added the perfect contrast to her deep plum Saint Laurent aviator jacket. Subtle ribbed details instantly elevated her Alo sneakers, creating a ten-out-of-ten look for weekend plans and beyond.

Similarly, Chiara Ferragni tapped into the power of crisp white corduroys to make travel days incredibly chic and comfortable. Before boarding a flight, she snapped a photo wearing a Polo Ralph Lauren cashmere sweater tucked into a pair of the brand’s wide-leg trousers. If you have any upcoming trips, consider this the look to copy.

Most recently, Elsa Hosk snapped a few photos from chilly New York City wearing baggy cords from her label, Helsa. Leaning into a more-is-more aesthetic, she styled them with a faux shearling Helsa coat—a match made in fashion heaven.

If the monotony of blue jeans or black trousers has you craving something effortlessly exciting, the white corduroy movement is here to breathe new life into your wardrobe.
