After initially feeling so excited to be reunited with our true blues for the new season, a few short weeks into autumn, we're already missing the comfort and freedom our summer dresses afforded us. We forgot how restrictive a waistband could feel. So we've been on the lookout for a more comfortable but equally structured alternative to our classic denim.
And we think we may have just found the perfect option: corduroy jeans. Specifically, Lucky Brand’s mid-rise bootcut corduroy jeans from Nordstrom Rack (that’s over 50% off, mind you!), which tick off three major fall trends in one look. Tactile textures are featured across the autumn/winter 2026 runways, and soft-touch corduroy perfectly taps into this.
This $45 Lucky Brand design takes things one step further thanks to the almost velvet-like appearance, no doubt enhanced by the rich chocolate brown shade. From the fabric to the colorway, it doesn't get more seasonally suitable than these. As for the third and final trend worth noting, this Next pair has a bootcut silhouette that features a slim fit through the thigh before widening subtly at the knee.
Google searches for bootcut jeans have increased by 150% over the past month, confirming this leg shape is in popular demand. When it comes to styling your corduroy jeans, it couldn't be easier to dress them up or down. A knit top in a neutral hue and trainers will see you through casual weekends in effortless style, while a date night top and heeled boots provide the perfect pairing come party season.
