Cords instead of jeans?

I would love to find an autumn/winter alternative to jeans, and there seem to be a lot of cords around at the moment. Would I style them in the same way as jeans? There seem to be as many boot cuts around as slim/straight leg. Has anyone worn these successfully or am I going to look frumpy?

I love cords....warmer and more comfortable than jeans..but I am no style icon !

I have a pair of wide legged mushroom(ish) coloured cords from Cos - I love them, I tend to wear mine with my black platform adidas nizzas

Seasalt have some nice, three quarter length wide leg cords in. I wore mine all weekend with some boots and a primark jumper. Felt good in them. More of a classic look than trendy? But I'm a cleaner/nanny in the week and live in joggers so it feels good to find a style I like which looks quite casual but smart too.

I love cords, but can never find any I really like. I'm not in the UK, but if cords are everywhere at the moment I'm hoping there will be a bigger selection here next winter. They are warmer than jeans I find. Go for it OP!

I have some lovely deep pink/ red cords that are originally Zara but I picked up from vinted. I LOVE them and have planned to wear them tomorrow with docs and a collared jumper. As a PP said, not sure if it's 'trendy' as such but think it looks lovely all the same!

I quite like them but haven’t worn since 90’s. Always suspected they enhance the thigh though. Are there any now than are flattering to the bigger thigh? 😆

Lands end has cords in loads of colours reduced at the moment

I used to wear cords years ago, when bootcut jeans were in before. I had a fabulous pair of wine needle cord ones that I lived in, but I wasn't so keen on how they seemed to attract bits of fluff and other random detritus.
