TRANQUILLO corduroy trousers PAOLA TAUPE – wide-leg corduroy trousers made of organic cotton
Hello comfort! This is exactly why we love a good pair of corduroy trousers so much. The TRANQUILLO PAOLA is made from wonderfully soft organic cotton corduroy, features beautiful wide legs, and—perhaps my favorite detail—an elasticated section at the back of the waistband.
From the front, they look like a stylish, tailored pair of trousers. From the back, TRANQUILLO has thankfully kept real life in mind. No waistband that suddenly seems three sizes too small after lunch. Just a pair of trousers that looks great and feels comfortable.
The TAUPE color is one of those warm brown tones that you can combine endlessly. It looks beautiful with ecru, off-white, and beige, but also with green, dark blue, burgundy, or a fun, vibrant sweater. And do take a look at the photos: those extra-wide legs give these corduroy trousers a truly beautiful silhouette.

Why are the TRANQUILLO PAOLA such lovely corduroy trousers?
Because these trousers have just the right combination of feminine, cool, and comfortable. Corduroy has so much character of its own that you really don't need to do much else. A nice sweater on top, shoes underneath, and you're ready to go.
The wide cord gives the fabric that typical warm corduroy look, and the very wide legs make the style feel modern. No stiff, old-fashioned corduroy pants here, but trousers that move beautifully and create a lovely long line.
How does the TRANQUILLO PAOLA fit?
The PAOLA has a mid-waist fit and very wide, straight legs. It fits nicely around the waist and hips, after which the trousers fall loosely downwards.
And that elastic at the back. Seriously: hello comfort! It makes the waist fit nicely while giving you just that little bit more freedom of movement.
Simply choose your own size for these trousers. Because of the elastic, you don't need to automatically order a larger size.
How do you style taupe corduroy trousers?
It’s almost easier than asking what you can't combine them with. TAUPE is a warm, natural color that pairs beautifully with other earth tones.
For example, wear the PAOLA with an ecru or sand-colored wool sweater for a calm tone-on-tone look. Dark green or petrol make it a bit more exciting, and burgundy, raspberry, and rust also look wonderful with it. A simple white shirt or a dark blue sweater works just as well, of course.
They look casual with sneakers, and much dressier with loafers or ankle boots. Because of the wide leg, a more compact shoe looks great underneath.
What actually is corduroy?
Corduroy is characterized by the vertical ridges in the fabric. These are created by raised pile strips, giving the trousers their soft, almost velvet-like surface.
This makes corduroy wonderful to wear, but it also means that you treat the fabric slightly differently than regular cotton trousers. The pile can become flattened or damaged if treated too harshly.
How do you care for corduroy trousers?
Please pay attention to the washing instructions for corduroy. It sounds more complicated than it is, but with a few simple steps, your corduroy trousers will stay looking good for much longer.
Wash corduroy as little as possible and air the trousers out in between. Do they still need a wash? Turn them inside out, close buttons and zippers, and choose a gentle cycle at a low temperature. It is better not to wash them together with rough materials that could rub against the pile.
Use minimal detergent and avoid putting corduroy in the dryer. Let the trousers air dry naturally. Also, avoid ironing hard directly over the ridges, as this can flatten the pile. It is better to carefully treat any creases from the inside.
One more thing: do you see some temporarily flatter spots after sitting? Don't panic. That is typical for pile fabrics like corduroy and often corrects itself during wear and airing.
Is organic cotton corduroy sustainable?
The PAOLA is made with organic cotton and is GOTS-certified. Organic cotton involves stricter requirements regarding cultivation and the use of harmful chemicals. GOTS also looks beyond just the fiber and sets requirements for various steps in processing and production.
But for us, the most important thing is that you buy trousers you want to wear very often. And this PAOLA has everything for that: a timeless fabric, an easy-to-style color, and a model that doesn't feel 'done' after just one season.
Don't buy if...
…you are actually looking for slim-fit corduroy trousers. PAOLA is truly wide. Not a bit of bootcut, not carefully straight, but a wonderfully wide leg from top to bottom. That is exactly what makes these trousers so beautiful.
Are you a fan of wide-leg trousers, but don't want to sacrifice comfort? Then these might be very dangerous for your wardrobe.
