What: Not just a cute little bear.

What we say: The story of Corduroy is one many of us read as kids. But don’t let a bear have all the fun—cords are a great winter fabric for keeping kids warm and our picks are super stylish as well.

We love CrewCuts’Girls’ Riley Cord ($19.99) in bright peacock and poppy. Super colorful, these pants will brighten even the dreariest winter days.

For boys, check out these cords at Old Navy in khaki, black, and moose brown ($19.50). Sturdy, durable, and in great colors that match just about anything, these pants are a sure winter staple.

Or for the cord look in other clothing items, we like these Boys’ Corduroy Slip-Ons ($14.99) from GapKids. Made with high-quality corduroy, comfortable elastic insets, and leather-like trim, these kicks are easy to clean but also keep feet warm.

For girls Gap’s Brushed Cord Skirt ($24.50) is a cute way to wear the fabric dressier. This snappy skirt comes in pink coral, happy green and classic brown and looks perfect paired with a chunky sweater and tights. A pretty flower accessory finishes off the look.
