Let's face it -- as much as you would like to, and the pandemic allowed you to, you can't live in sweats forever. We suggest turning to corduroy if you want to elevate your winter pants. Rethink everything you thought you knew about corduroy pants because the best ones are decidedly different than any pair you might have worn in the past. By that, we mean today's corduroy pants fit better than days gone by while also featuring more excellent fabric and refined styling potential.
