Which Is Your Favorite: Corduroy Pants Or Jeans
Ever since I watched the first couple of seasons of Emily In Paris, I’ve been fascinated by the city. Maybe one day Joe and I will go there, but until then, I’ll just wear my Paris sweater and dream. Today, I decided to style it two ways, and I’m not sure which way I like the best. So, let me know in the comments which is your favorite: corduroy pants or jeans.
The Paris Sweater
Before we get to the different outfits, let’s talk about the Paris sweater. I could have worn this in my post yesterday, which was on Tips for Wearing Neutrals When You’re Over 50.
This Paris Sweater is warm, cozy, soft, and adorable. I love how the lettering is in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. The sweater is a great neutral that can be worn with anything. It is slightly oversized, which is precisely what I wanted. I’m wearing my usual medium size, which is loose but not baggy.
Corduroy Pants and Blazer
The Flare Trousers in Corduroy are a gorgeous sandy color. They give you the classic swish-swish sound as you walk, so you’ll not be sneaking up behind anyone. Lol! Flare jeans and trousers are universally flattering for most women since they balance their hips and shoulders. I feel these run a tiny bit on the large side, so size down if you’re between sizes.
The Rebecca Minkoff Suede & Leather Satchel has already sold out. I wanted to mention it since I’m carrying it in both outfits. I love her handbags since they are stylish and unique, plus of great quality. Here is a similar one if you’re interested.
I like having the option to elevate an outfit, so I ordered the matching Corduroy Fitted Blazer. The blazer looks great with the trousers but can be worn in many ways. I love elevating a casual, simple outfit with a blazer, and this one also looks great with jeans.
I’m wearing a size 10, which is the perfect size for me. I can wear a lightweight sweater with it without it being too tight.
Jeans and A Tweed Coat
I’m wearing the same Paris Sweater, but I think it looks completely different in this outfit.
If wide-leg jeans seem too overpowering for you, then you’ll like these High Rise Slim Jeans in Dark Wash. They are a classic style that will always be appropriate because they aren’t a trend. Skinny jeans may come and go, but slim leg jeans will be around for years to come. I’m wearing my usual size 29, and they fit perfectly.
Besides the Paris sweater, the Tweed Long Collarless Jacket might be my favorite item in this post. I love the length that covers your behind. It is a classic tweed fabric with gold buttons and a collarless neck. The jacket can be dressed up and down, and you’ll look like a million bucks every time you wear it.
I’m wearing a medium that buttons easily without pulling or tugging.
So…now’s the moment of truth. Which is your favorite: corduroy pants or jeans?

Verse Of The Day
Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I know this is random but can I ask where you got your outdoor rug? I love it.
It is one I bought last year from Walmart.
I’m a pass on the corduroy pieces. Not these particular pieces, just corduroy in general. Always reminds me of a lumberjack. But the jeans, sweater and long tweed jacket are great. I’m assuming (hoping) that I’m not the only one with personal quirks. LOL.
(I’ve been meaning to reply to your neutrals post. Those are your colors! You looked fantastic.)
Yes, I’ve been to Paris and I want to go back! It is beautiful and, when I was there, so, so clean!! The French people were………..not Southerners is a nice way to put it………..🤷♀️ My mama and I went together and I would love to go back with my husband. I must say that I ate enough duck l’orange to last a lifetime. Lol. The shopping is absolutely fabulous and quite expensive. I love your Paris sweater and have one in my cart already! I also love the tweed coat! Not a fan of the corduroy, though. Love the purse!
Feeding the birds in my yard is my new favorite hobby since I retired. I watch them from every window in the house and love it. I really enjoyed watching Emily in Paris. ❤️
Paris sweater with the jeans!
Hi Tania, I love all the clothes you show for Fall/Winter. I think that little bird pecking on your window is asking for seeds. They do that at my house too. They let me know the feeders are empty, and need to be filled again.🥰
Have a great weekend!

That’s cute, but I don’t have any feeders.
I like both on you but I love the look with the jeans and tweed coat! I’m personally not a fan of the corduroy suit but as separates I love the two pieces. I’ve never been to Paris but one of our trip ideas is to travel from Belgium to Paris tasting wines along the way.
I love the corduroy pant suit!
Love the sweet bird and agree with Tapper.
I went to Paris in 2000 and I bet it has not changed! Hope you and Joe can go soon!
I love corduroys during the cooler months. I think the texture adds a bit of interest. I wear womens petite and Talbots has them available every fall.
Tania, the corduroys and Paris sweater look great on you. I have several pair of corduroy pants and enjoy wearing them….especially my red ones around Christmas and Valentine’s Day. I haven’t been to Paris. However, my husband and I took a trip to Quebec City in Canada a few weeks ago and it was breathtakingly gorgeous. I know it is nothing like Paris but I did enjoy the French cuisines, coffee shops, bistros and exploring the city on the cobblestone streets. As far as a name for your little feathered friend…how about “Peepers”.

I’m loving both the corduroy and jeans with the Paris sweater — you look great in both outfits. The corduroy suit looks dressier, whereas the jeans, navy jacket and Paris sweater look like a Parisian outfit. I hope you and Joe can get to Paris/France some day. I went at 19 with friends and for my 40th birthday with my hubby — both trips were very memorable. You could do Paris in a week and then take in other regions of France on a longer trip. It’s definitely worth seeing.
Love the jeans and black collarless jacket styling the best with the Paris sweater!
Love the jeans and the collarless jacket. I love a good pair of cords, too but my favorite are the jeans. You always look great in everything you post!
I had a little bird that loved to fly into my garage every time I opened it! I think he just enjoyed taunting me as I tried to get him to fly out of the garage! I ended up naming him Chirple
Jeans outfit is my fav 🙂
That’s so cute!
The dark jeans, white sweater and black coat look beautiful!!!
LOVEthe corduroy set. It looks fabulous together but of course could be styled separately on so many different ways. A+
I have been to Paris years ago and would love to go back.
The Paris sweater, I think it looks better with the cords. As for me, cord vs jeans, I’m a jeans gal. I live in a hot climate, so I can’t wear anything heavy, hence why I would favor jeans. I do like a fine wale cord, though. Paris, I’d love to see it. But probably never will be able to.
Love the sweater, especially with the jeans! The tweed coat is perfection! I think the corduroy jacket with the jeans would look really cute, too. Your little friend could be called TapTap.
I’m going with the jeans outfit. They both look nice but I’m a jeans gurl!
Jeans are my choice.
Yes I’ve been to Paris!
My fave are the corduroy, but in FL I’d wear them twice a year. so I have jeans.
Your little friend is so pretty. Tapper?
That’s a good name. Someone emailed me that I should name him a Peeping Tom. Lol!
I hope you and Joe get to Paris someday.
I love the tweed collarless jacket.
Hi! Your friend’s name: Little Peep.
My favorite wear: jeans.
Paris: yes have been, lovely city. Be sure to visit Versailles!
BTW, the link to the cream sweater is not working.
Happy Halloween 🎃
Pat, which sweater? The Paris sweater or the cream cable knit one in my email?
cream cable knit
I thought I would like the corduroy better, but in the end, I like the jeans better with the sweater. That sweater is very cute.
How about Tweety for your bird?
Jeans! I love the sweater. So cute with jeans.
Always – Jeans!!
Love the corduroy but the jeans look is my personal style. The blazer is gorgeous!
Is that an owl? We live in Florida and every year at this time we have a barn owl that shows up in the trees behind our house and hoots. He’s been coming for years and we always look forward to hearing him again. I like to think he has chosen us as he knows we are avid lovers of all things in nature. Yours looks small..love the way he’s sitting way back in the tree almost like a Christmas ornament. I’d name him “Woody” short for a woodland owl. I love corduroy but don’t wear it much as we live in FL. As for France, you need to go! My daughter and I went to Paris (magnifique) last December and enjoyed the culture and the people so much. I had been to Paris in 1993 and always said I’d go back.
Love the outfits
I always look forward to taking a break & reading your emai! Much needed Bible verse for me today thank you! I like the jeans best with the sweater. Bird name-Percy since he is persistant! 🎃
I like “Max” for your little visitor!
Loving the jacket! And the jeans, but I do have ribless corduroy pants. They are great for fall/winter- which surprised me!
Both outfits look great, but I do love that collarless tweed coat.
Your little bird friend is so cute! How about Percy, a short name for “persistent”?
That’s a cute and accurate name for him.
Courderoy! My fingers flew to the keyboard to order but they are sold out on my size🙁
I really like today’s scripture! While the corduroy pants outfit is my favorite, the Paris sweater looks good with the jeans as well.
Love it with the jeans! I don’t like how corduroy feels..it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to my touch.🤣
YES, I went to PARIS last year 2 days after I retired. Make it a girls trip, the shopping is wonderful, unless your husband doesn’t mind waiting while you shop in CHANEL, DIOR AND LOUIS VUITTON! We stayed in a lovely hotel on the Rue De Rivoli, a 5 minute walk to the Louvre. Make sure to take a dinner cruise on the Seine, show at the Moulin Rouge, and lunch or dinner @ the Eiffel Tower. Take your granddaughter with you! I made the mistake of cramming too many museums in my visit and didn’t take time to sit in a cafe and enjoy just “being” in Paris. Hoping to go again next year. Kim
This sounds fabulous!
The jeans outfit such a classic look!
I love both corduroy and jeans but I do feel a little more dressed up in corduroy. Cute outfits.
Both outfits look wonderful on you! I prefer the sweater with the jeans, but I would suggest that you wear what makes you happy.
Loved the look in both outfits today. You make clothes look good and I love our taste.
The little guy needs a feeder. I’ve never been to Paris but I could wear this sweater to remind husband of my bucket list city 😉
Jeans for me! Love that sweater!!
Love the corduroy pants! Cute outfit!
I like the corduroy flare n sweater with that gorgeous purse. At first I couldn’t think why I liked it and wondered if it was because I saw it first. So I went back up and looked again. I like flare pants. Most of my pants are flare or boot cut. I also like the two light colors together. Thanks for modeling two outfits, this was a great learning lesson for me.
Love that sweater! I like it with the jeans. Black slim jeans would be a good look too. You always bring the cutest finds.
Jeans and tweed coat for the win!!! That outfit is adorable!!! Happy Halloween 🎃🧡🎃
Love the corduroy pants without the jacket.
Give your bird friend a good southern name like Little Peckerwood!
I’m definitely a jeans girl. If I wear corduroy, my inner thighs rub together and make that annoying “fvip, ffvip, ffvip” noise. Lol.
I think it was Rosie O’Donall who said she was in danger of starting a fire! 😝
The Paris sweater is adorable!
😆 😆 😆
I love how corduroy adds that texture you were talking about recently, great to un-blah a neutral outfit. Wearing a PARIS sweater seems to add so much style! Just because of the name Paris? It all looks great on you! I went to Paris with my French class after high school graduation. We visited the castles on the Loire River, stayed with a French family, and saw the sights. I would appreciate the history and beauty so much more now, but it was the only time I’ve been there. GO if you can! Travel investments are so worth it.
Hi Tania, I like the tweed coat, Paris sweater and the jeans with the pumps. That is a chic sleek look. The tan suit it nice, but it looks bulky with the sweater and no contrast. I think styled with brown sweater and shoes and bag would look nice.
I love the second outfit. It’s so classic and I love the colors together. Thanks for all you do. I start my day off reading your blog.
I like the classic look, too.
I like the corduroy just because it’s different and I gotta get my hands on one lol. Plus that color is to die for, western vibe put on your western boots va la!
I’m glad you liked the post.
Answer to your question. I like both. The camel outfit looks great on you. I have so much camel. I wish the pants came in different colors.
Love the corduroy pants. The Paris sweater looks soooooo comfortable.
jeans are my favorite
Yes! I went to Paris when I was in high school in the French club. I loved Paris and France so much I didn’t want to leave. Personally my favorite city was Nice on the Mediterranean. So, if Joe and you do get to go I recommend you also visit the south as well. A different vibe there but equally as beautiful. I prefer jeans but I always enjoy having one pair of corduroys.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I think the jean outfit is very nice, you look terrific in it!!
I’m a jeans girl! I prefer the stiff, hard denim jeans, though, not the spandex, so I stick with Lee’s and Levis.
LOve both outfits!
You look nice in both outfits but I prefer the jeans. I love the tweed jacket too!
I like the jeans better with the Paris sweater. Seems a bit more chic. And name the bird CASPER…sometimes you see and hear me and sometimes you don’t! 👻
Super cute name~
I love that Paris sweater too! My 15 year old and I went to Paris in June with my friend and her daughter. We definitely fell in love with Paris and now I want to return. Hubby has no interest, so I’ll have to figure something else out. Maybe take my 17 year old someday (she was in Switzerland with her troop while we were in Paris).
My daughter is in Ireland right now, and I told her she should go to Paris while she is in the vicinity.
I believe I prefer jeans! It’s hard to find corduroy in petites.
Love your corduroy pants. But that Paris sweater looks sooooo comfortable.
Love the Paris sweater and jeans outfit. Happy Halloween LOL
Jeans.
Hi! We have been to Paris and also watch Emily in Paris (or Rome as the rumors say). Love the post, especially the jacket. I would say I prefer jeans just from a sensory stand point. All your outfits look great!
Melissa
Paris is on my travel bucket list. I love corduroys in winter. I wear them a lot.
I vote for jeans. I love the sweater!!!
I had a little bird last year at the window every morning. The first few mornings it startled me. Then I looked forward to it and now I miss it. Hoping it will return.
Jeans!
