We're just a couple of months into 2024, but we already have the intel on the denim alternative that fashion people are setting aside their jeans for. It takes a lot, but every so often something comes along that makes us completely overlook our beloved denim. In the past, that's looked like a glorious skirt trend or a chic pair of trousers, but no matter what form a jeans alt comes in, it has some large shoes to fill. Right now, it's none other than corduroy pants that are going head-to-head with our go-to jeans, and once you see the level of effortlessness and chill they bring, you just might find yourself reaching for a pair, too.

In fact, there's never been a better time to swap your blues for some cords—denim brands have started releasing corduroy versions of their most popular jeans silhouettes, from The Row and its viral Eglitta Jeans to Levi's popular Baggy Dad Jeans and plenty more options. On the 2024 runways, we've spotted standout corduroy pant looks in Loewe's and Fendi's menswear collections, providing even more styling inspiration for the look. Up ahead, discover the corduroy pant trend that fashion people are replacing their jeans with and, as always, shop the most popular pairs on the market.

Corduroys in rich shades of espresso and chocolate brown are bubbling up the most right now, and they play so well with the neutrals you're probably already wearing on repeat.

On Loewe's S/S 24 runway, corduroy pants with dramatically high waistlines dominated. Extreme rises aside, the styling ideas are worth copying into your late winter/early spring rotation.

Proof that you can absolutely make a 1:1 swap with a pair of brown corduroys. Styling an on-trend red sweater looks just as good here as it does with classic blue jeans, but the color combination is a step above the rest.

Corduroys are the ideal base to cool wardrobe staples like white tees and V-neck sweaters. As for footwear, well, loafers, sneakers, and boots are all fair game.

If you want to get a tad more creative, add a pop of color through a bright sweater. Candy-colored pink is a great contrast to chestnut brown cords.

Much like they did with jeans all last year, fashion people are adding a cool belt to their corduroys for an even more 2024 spin.
