What points should I be aware of when wearing a corduroy jacket?

When wearing a corduroy jacket, it is important to keep in mind the use of dark tones. It is said that corduroy was originally used as a material for outdoor workers’ uniforms in France and for hunting clothes for the upper class in England. Because of this historical background, many corduroy jackets are designed with a strong casual taste, and the colors used are basically earth tones such as brown, beige, and olive, which have a strong work/military image. Therefore, if you wear a corduroy jacket without thinking about it, there is a high possibility that it will give your outfit a dowdy appearance. It is better to adjust the balance by incorporating dark tones such as black, charcoal, and navy in various places to create an urban feel, so as not to give off too much of an unrefined atmosphere.
