If you’re looking to elevate your work wardrobe with a touch of seasonal color and texture, consider learning how to style a plum corduroy suit for work. I’ve been loving corduroy lately so naturally I wanted all the shades. This rich, eye-catching hue combined with the cozy texture of corduroy makes the suit both trendy and office-appropriate. I’ll show you how to style the suit pieces together for a polished professional look, then break it down with three fresh ways to wear the blazer and three more ways to style the pants. This versatile styling guide will help you make the most of your wardrobe with endless outfit combinations!
First off, let’s admire how good this suit looks as a set. I added a pop of personality with leopard heels. Since this suit isn’t a traditional dark, somber color, there is plenty of opportunity to lean into the bold color with a few other eye catching elements.

Style Corduroy Blazer 3 Ways
A corduroy blazer can instantly upgrade a casual outfit. It is especially true when paired with sneakers and jeans for a stylish yet relaxed vibe. I styled mine with a simple black turtleneck underneath, adding a bit of warmth and polish while keeping the look put-together and effortlessly chic.

A corduroy blazer looks effortlessly stylish paired with a mini skirt and tall boots. This creates a look that’s both chic and seasonally appropriate. I styled mine with a burgundy skirt, black over-the-knee boots, and a lavender blouse. These pieces together played up the rich purple and burgundy hues. This combo strikes a perfect balance between polished and playful. Depending on the length of the skirt, it could be a night out look or with a longer skirt, ideal casual workdays.

A corduroy blazer adds a polished layer to a classic shirtdress. I styled mine over a blue striped midi shirtdress with cognac riding boots for a fall-ready vibe. Belting the blazer gave it extra shape and structure, highlighting the waist while keeping the outfit refined and balanced. This combination works beautifully for a casual office look or a stylish day out.

Style Plum Corduroy Pants 3 Ways
Plum corduroy pants look stunning when paired with a contrasting color sweater, creating a balanced and eye-catching outfit. Plum can really complement a variety of other colors. I styled mine with a sage green sweater, which beautifully complements the rich plum hue. I added a pair of Mary Jane shoes for a trendy finish that is also comfortable when you are on your feet all day at work.

For a refined, monochromatic look at work, try pairing plum corduroy pants with lavender. I wore mine with a floral lavender blouse and a sleeveless blazer for a professional vibe. Gold shoes added a bit of brightness and elegance to the outfit. This is a great way to style plum corduroy suit for work, combining complementary shades to create a polished, well-coordinated look.

Pairing plum corduroy pants with neutral shades lets the rich color of the pants stand out, creating a more striking outfit. I wore mine with a black and white floral top, allowing the vibrant plum to be the focal point, while the neutral hues of the top complemented the bold color.
