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.

Yes, the best corduroy dress pants for men merge designer sensibility with the old-school cool that seems to be everywhere these days. You can wear the right pair of corduroys like your favorite pair of jeans or treat them like a proper pair of dress trousers. There's no telling what the appropriate pick will do for your winter wardrobe, so get started with our choices below.

It is easy to think that winter means you have to choose between a thick denim or a light pair of chinos or dress pants. Luckily for you, there is a third choice, and it is just as fun as denim and as stylish as chinos. 2023 is the year of the corduroy.

Mark D McKee

Mark cut his teeth in the men's style world when he sold suits first at box stores such as Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank. He then spent time as a style consultant, where he helped men find the image they were looking for through tailoring and confidence-building. He thrived when he began diving into the psychology of men's style, developing the mindset that fashion is what you wear and style is how you wear it.

He transitioned into style journalism writing for Real Men, Real Style before finding a home with The Manual, where he broadened his scope to travel, grooming, and mindset (where you can find his work on Gent's Cafe). He is also working on novels in the thriller genre (bang, bang shoot 'em ups inspired by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills, Brad Thor, and Jack Carr).

He is a huge movie buff, and you can find his work in that space on Looper. And if you ever run into him on the street, you're likely going to get pulled into conversations about style, movies, or his fanatic romanticism of the game of baseball.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of
Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric
Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves
