Corduroy and fall are practically synonymous with one another at this point. Perhaps it's their inimitably cosy appeal or the way that each tends to embrace a warmer colour palette. Regardless of what exactly it is that makes the pair so perfect for one another, we can always count on the fact that come October, our closets suddenly become ridden with corduroy styles galore — from trousers and button-down vests to corduroy jackets and more.
But hey, we're not complaining! And with the resurgence of so many '90s-derived fashion styles this season, we find ourselves especially drawn to corduroy jackets and all of the outfit versatility that they provide. Whether it's a polished corduroy blazer or a chunky corduroy puffer jacket to cropped styles, oversize pieces, and even a ribbed shacket or two, corduroy jackets truly are the fall season's unsung style hero, perfect for wearing everywhere from the office and postwork football games to cosy autumnal activities (hello, apple picking!), snuggly date nights at home, and beyond.
In the spirit of this corduroy-obsessed season, we've curated a guide of the very best corduroy jackets for fall — with styles for women that are available to shop at every price point and from some of our favourite retailers, no less. Browse our picks ahead!
Best Corduroy Puffer Jacket: S.E.B. by Sebby Corduroy Puffer Jacket
Whether you live somewhere that has notoriously cold winters or simply prefer to have bulky, thick pieces on hand during the season's chilliest months, this S.E.B. by Sebby Corduroy Puffer Jacket [1] ($70) is sure to be your go-to style for it all. The puffer jacket has a thick frame that's elevated by a soft corduroy composition, deep side pockets, and even a turtleneck frame that's so effective, you can forgo scarves altogether this season.
Best Corduroy Button-Down Jacket: Omoone Vintage Corduroy Button Down
Corduroy might feel like a super-luxurious material, but in actuality, there are plenty of affordable ways to style the material this fall — assuming you know where to shop, of course. This Omoone Vintage Corduroy Button Down [2] ($26-$33) proves that you can invest in a quality corduroy jacket without having to splurge too much. And best of all, this particular style is available to shop in two colours.
Best Thick Corduroy Jacket: Roxy On the Block Corduroy Shirt Jacket
With temperatures cooling down, now's the perfect time to invest in a thick and durable jacket to wear all season long. We recommend this Roxy On the Block Corduroy Shirt Jacket [3] ($100) because it's equally stylish (we can't get enough of that burnt-orange colouring) and bulky enough to wear through even the chilliest autumn nights. With its button-down silhouette, we also appreciate that the jacket can be worn on its own or with a lightweight sweater underneath.
Best Oversize Corduroy Jacket: BDG Urban Outfitters Oversize Corduroy Harrington Jacket
We can't quite pinpoint what it is, but something about this BDG Urban Outfitters Oversize Corduroy Harrington Jacket [4] ($99) makes us want to head out to a football game and spend the whole night snuggled up in this versatile piece. The oversize nature of the style makes it feel primed for cosy season, and the cinched cuffs and hem give it a fresh, added texture.
Best Corduroy Shirt Jacket: L.L.Bean Comfort Corduroy Relaxed Shirt
If you're looking for a versatile top for fall layering that's not too light but also not too heavy, look no further than this L.L.Bean Comfort Corduroy Relaxed Shirt [5] ($89). The relaxed top is composed of an ultra-smooth corduroy that's soft to the touch and just bulky enough to keep you warm on those days when the temperatures are fluctuating between hot and cold. We love the subtle, shearling detailing on the collar and sleeves, too.
Best Corduroy Blazer: Ted Baker London Corduroy Weekend Blazer
Corduroy jackets might have a reputation for their relaxed and effortless appeal, but this Ted Baker London Corduroy Weekend Blazer [6] ($178, originally $340) proves the style can just as easily be elevated for a more polished, work-ready ensemble. We love the crisp, white colouring on this piece. And the plunging neckline caps off the corduroy work jacket with a sexy touch that will easily work for day-to-night wear.
Best Corduroy Top: Dr. Denim Mona Corduroy Top
All of our favourite style aesthetics for the fall season are seamlessly combined into one breezy shacket, encompassed in this Dr. Denim Mona Corduroy Top [7] ($50, originally $85). The button-down top provides the coolness of a classic denim jacket with the buttery-soft comfort of a corduroy layer. Plus, that baby-blue colouring is so versatile.
Best Cropped Corduroy Jacket: Kohl's Cropped Cosy Corduroy Jacket
If you (like us) are drawn to high-waisted pants and leggings, then you'll appreciate the lifted look of this Kohl's Cropped Cosy Corduroy Jacket [8] ($32, originally $40). Unlike other oversize styles, this corduroy jacket boasts a cropped silhouette that will layer effortlessly with any high-waisted bottom, all without drowning it out. Bonus: it even comes with front pockets that are equal parts practical and chic.
Best Ribbed Corduroy Jacket: ASOS Design Petite Jumbo Corduroy Shacket
Shackets are proving to be all the rage this season — and for good reason! We have our eyes on this stone-coloured ASOS Design Petite Jumbo Corduroy Shacket [9] ($50), in particular, as it's both super stylish (courtesy of that ribbed detailing) and versatile enough to wear for any occasion, regardless of the dress code. Those oversize pockets are perfect for holding any essentials while you're on the go, too.
Best Corduroy Casual Jacket: Madewell Corduroy Kentwood Oversize Shirt Jacket
This Madewell Corduroy Kentwood Oversize Shirt Jacket [10] ($90) is oozing with autumnal vibes that are so chic, it makes us want to grab our favourite sweatpants and sneakers and head out for a weekend camping trip in the woods — very specific feeling, we know! The classic corduroy jacket gets a seriously moody upgrade thanks to this top's deep teal colouring. And the brown-hued buttons provide just the right amount of contrast to truly stand out on the blouse.
Best Corduroy Work Jacket: Avec Les Filles Corduroy Blazer
Let 'em know you're all about business and comfort with this Avec Les Filles Corduroy Blazer [11] ($148). The blazer balances a polished appeal with a super-soft, comfort-infused vibe courtesy of its corduroy composition. And with the lightweight jacket's burnt-orange colouring, it will also serve as the most divine addition to your fall wardrobe!
