In order for your image to always be stylish and in line with fashion, it is important to correctly select not only clothing models, but also the texture of the fabric from which it is sewn.

Among their lineup, every fashionista will choose a practical and stylish thing that can be worn both as an independent piece of clothing and as a light outer jacket.
Features of the fabric
Velveteen - a fabric that is a dense fleecy fabric, smooth from the seamy side. It is not for nothing that, translated from French, the word "velveteen" means "royal fabric" - it is durable, wear-resistant, practically wrinkle-free and very pleasant to the body. In addition, the texture of corduroy acts as an excellent heat insulator - things made from such fabric perfectly warm in cool weather and keep the heat inside.
On the front side, the pile of velveteen is divided into a kind of scar, the different width of which determines the different types of this fabric. For example, cord has a long pile and a wide rib. The weft thread of such a fabric is the most dense of all types, so it is most often used for upholstering sofas and other upholstered furniture, as well as for sewing heavy curtains.
Shaped type of corduroy fabric differs in lighter texture and short nap. The rib has different shapes, so it can be used in the design of various types of clothing, helping to create the most outstanding styles, for which it got its name.
In the classic version, corduroy was made from 100% cotton, but over time and the rise in the cost of natural materials, synthetic fibers such as polyester began to be added to it.The properties and appearance of the fabric have practically not changed from this, but it has become much more accessible for most fashionistas and fashionistas.
In order for a corduroy jacket to retain its beautiful appearance as long as possible, it needs proper and very careful care. Washing is performed only in the hand wash mode without spinning or by hand. In no case should corduroy be washed in an automatic machine with a quick-drying function, as with such "execution" over the fabric, it will forever lose its appearance.
After washing, straightened corduroy items are laid on a terry towel and folded with it - this is how the spinning takes place. You need to dry a corduroy jacket on a hanger away from the battery and direct sunlight, and it is best to just hang it out in a shaded, but open place, freely blown by the wind.
Ironing corduroy is ideally done with a steamer, but if you do not have one, then using an iron you can do it only from the wrong side through a thin fabric, while its temperature should not exceed 160 degrees.
If there is an incident with your corduroy jacket - it has a hard-to-remove stain or a slight abrasion, you should not try to fix this trouble yourself, it is better to just take the thing to a professional dry cleaner so as not to ruin it completely.

What to wear with?
In a strict and discreet manner you can safely use a corduroy jacket in noble burgundy, gray or dark green colors. If his style does not have any additional details, then light blouses, voluminous tops, formal trousers and straight-cut skirts will look great with him. As accessories in this look, you can use a small watch, a small handbag or a not too bulky bracelet in a contrasting color.
To create a free style look A corduroy blazer can be teamed with jeans and a crop top. He will add boldness and spontaneity to this stylish bow. When choosing a shade of a jacket, one should take into account the color of the shoes - it should be 1-2 tones lighter, since the "heavy" texture of the corduroy fabric will increase the abundance of dark color in the image several times. For example, if the shoes or boots are black, then the jacket will look great in gray, dark brown or indigo.
