Corduroy Pants Are Back—and These 5 Pairs Are the Perfect Updates on the Retro Style

Offering a slightly cropped, tapered take on the barrel leg with just the right amount of stretch, these corduroy pants from Old Navy are a popular fave that hugs in all the right places. "I am loving the barrel leg trend! As a girl with larger thighs, these pants hit the mark for me. The fit at the waist and the forgiveness in the leg are an absolute chef's kiss! Reminds me of my favorite jeans from the early '90s," raves one buyer. Plus, you can choose whether you want them in regular, tall or petite sizing.

These wide-leg cords will quickly become an automatic in your rotation. Made with 100 percent cotton, they're designed with a flowy, wide fit that feels cool and polished. Tuck in a button-down like the model above for a sophisticated work outfit or pair with a slim-fitting sweater for an elevated date-night look.

"True to size, very comfortable and a great length to wear with a 2-inch heel boot," writes one reviewer, who adds that they thought these pants were so nice they had to buy them twice. These cords have a throwback look with their high waist, but the wide leg keeps 'em feeling fresh. They'll look good with everything from a cardigan and heels to a button-down shirt and Converse. Even better, they come in a *bunch* of colors, so you can do corduroy your way.

Cropped at the ankle for pairing with loafers or flats, these organic cotton barrel cords are noteworthy for their comfortable fit through the hips and waistline. And while the overall quality of these pants makes them a must-have, it's really the exaggerated curved leg that makes them stand out in a crowd. Or as one shopper writes, "These are the best pants I've ever had without a doubt. The fabric, the autumn color, the fit. I wish I could just wear them forever."

If you're looking for more of a straight-leg style that mirrors the fit of skinny jeans, these are right up your alley. Made from 99 percent cotton and 1 percent spandex, and available in three different inseam lengths, these pants are adored by buyers for their flattering fit and versatile style. Noting that they can be dressed up or down, one shopper writes, "These fit true to size, and they are not too heavy but feel substantial. They will be a great work/casual crossover pant for the winter." If that isn't enough, they're also on sale!
