I need some cords - I’ve fallen out of love with jeans and I’m hunting for a nice pair of cords if anyone can recommend any nice ones please? Not geography teacher style mind you. 🙂

Nobody’s child had lots of cord stuff

Boden has various styles of cord trousers. I don’t usually shop there but just purchased a pair of Primrose cord trousers - lovely heavier weight corduroy.

M&S straight leg, look and feel amazing at £30

I got ones from Mango. Love them but they're very ling, I had to get them taken up. I wear with some heeled loafers.

RampantIvy · 29/11/2025 18:31

I have these ones

They are actually corduroy.

I'm not a fan of cropped trousers in winter and these are nice and long.

I got some wide leg cords in Next, £29. So comfy and flattering I bought another pair. I normally would avoid an elasticated waist but these are a good fit.

I was in Next supposed to have been shopping for sister in law and I think I spotted these . Have you washed them - do they need to be ironed ? .Are they true to size and what about the lengths please?. Hope you don't mind me giving you the inquisition :)

@RememberBeKindWithKaren mine wash really well, I don’t iron them.
i have the regular and the leg length is perfect- I am 5’5”

RememberBeKindWithKaren · 29/11/2025 19:07

@Twoshoesnewshoes , thanks for that..I'm going to get myself some. :)

I have these ones in two colours. Wash very well, absolutely no need to iron, which makes me very happy! I’ve basically been living in them for weeks Smile
My only criticism is that, although my black pair are the perfect length (I have long legs and buy most of my trousers from Next because their longer length fits me really well), the pink pair are a bit longer, so I keep treading on the ends. Very annoying!

I have some straight legged ones from Monki. I wear them to work as they are smart as well as warm.

I’ve bought two pairs from M&S and they are gorgeous. I bought the wide leg in olive green which have patch pockets on the front and navy straight leg. They are both a great fit.

i have these in brown. They’re lovely.

I’m very fussy about cords and have bought this season the Cos barrel leg in navy which are great. Size down. The Toast panelled ones (not Gabi) are good too but not really worth the price IME, so I’m glad I found these Cos ones.

powershowerforanhour · 29/11/2025 19:23

I live in cords at work. DH buys them for me second hand on eBay. M+S boot leg style, worn with Timberlands now that Blundies have got fashionable and therefore expensive.

HelenHywater · 29/11/2025 20:17

I bought Mango . They're really nice - I have both the navy and the burgundy (nearly sold out now).

Uniqlo - ‘Curve’ cords are barrel legged, super soft, super comfy and come in a wide range of colours.

Comfy barrel leg cords

This! I bought two pairs last month and have been wearing them constantly - so soft - beautiful fabric and cut, wash great too 😊

cannyvalley · 29/11/2025 21:28

I got some gorgeous high waisted , wide leg cords from M&S. they are SO comfy and flattering. I love them.

they come in black and green I think?

Got some nice ones from white stuff recently

If anyone can share tips on how to wash and dry cords without getting big white lines all over them I’d be most grateful. I’ve pretty much given up because of this.

Wash and dry inside out. Turn them right side and use a hand held steamer. Brings the pile up nicely rather than ironing them flat.
Good Black Friday deals around.
Mine also has a defuzzing attachment which removes any bits of fluff.

Another vote for Seasalt trousers (currently 25% off offer)

I got some beige barrel legged cords from tu in Sainsbury’s that I quite like.

I got the green ones, I really love them 😎

Monvelo · 29/11/2025 22:19

I live in these barrel leg slightly cropped ones from next. They come in 3 colours, I've got 2 of them. They're inexpensive. I find them more practical than wide leg. Although I've also got some wide leg ones.
