When the temperature drops, there’s always one fabric I tend to reach for: corduroy. It has a cosy, textured feel that makes even the simplest outfit seem ready for the chilliest mornings - and it can look far more expensive than it is when paired with other chic and elevated pieces.
Of course, I’ve often admired corduroy shirts in high end shops, but the price tags can make them hard to justify. So, you can imagine my surprise when I spotted this bitter chocolate brown style - the cosy shade of the season - at Primark for just £16. Crafted from pure cotton with the soft ribbed texture I love, I predict it’ll become a go to for the colder months.
Thanks to its classic shirt silhouette, it’s incredibly easy to wear and style. Button it up and tuck it into jeans or trousers (brown velvet would work well here), or leave it open over a T-shirt as a light extra layer while we’re still in autumn. Personally, I'm planning on wearing it with my favourite straight leg jeans and loafers for an everyday look, or maybe pair it with matching corduroy bottoms for an easy co ord that feels pulled together without much effort.

I especially love this piece because it proves you don’t always have to spend a lot to find something that feels good quality. The pure cotton fabric and classic cut give it plenty of mileage, meaning you'll be able to wear it for seasons to come, while the corduroy adds more interest than your ordinary button down.
An affordable way to add a cosy layer to your rotation, it's a staple that I can see myself reaching for whenever a crisp morning calls for something warmer than a blouse. It’ll slot seamlessly into your wardrobe and make getting dressed that much easier.
