The hot topic going around the fashion world right now: “Is velvet back in fashion?” Short answer: yes. Velvet is so back, especially when it comes to quiet luxury. Velvet, and velour, has shifted from being flashy and reserved for big nights on the red carpet to a material that can be worn anywhere from chic-casual to luxurious baddie.
Instead of being reserved for evening fits, velvet is becoming an everyday confidence fabric. Think coffee runs, airport fits, or even Sunday brunch. Of course, there’s still that velvet dress waiting to be worn on a hot Friday night out, too. Let’s explore five different ways to style velvet that will have all eyes on you, no matter what the occasion.
1. THE ELEVATED EVERYDAY VELVET
When you’re looking to wear something casual without sacrificing the impact of the look, try pairing a cropped Velour Crystal Logo Baby Tee with a pair of mid-rise straight jeans. This combo creates an instant texture contrast – the denim keeps the look grounded while the velvet and crystals bring the drama. Try adding a sleek heeled boot and chunky jewelry to finish off the look.
And, for an instant style boost, put your hair in a slicked-back ponytail or bun. The hair snatch can carry the look from day to night in an instant.
2. BE BOLD WITH A VELVET NIGHT OUT
Whether you’re hitting a rooftop bar or have late-night plans to hit the dance floor with your girls, finding a fit that balances cool and sexy is key. Try layering a Crystal Velour Short Sleeve Track Jacket over a cropped white tank for an effortlessly sporty look. Pair it with your favorite denim skirt and platform sneakers for a comfortable yet fashionable approach to your night out.
3. SOFT LUXE HEAD-TO-TOE VELVET
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out exactly what clothing items you want to throw together for the day. When that happens, why not make it simple and style a full matching set? If you want maximum impact with minimum effort, going monochrome velvet can make the entire look feel elevated and curated to suit you perfectly.
Start with a pair of velour track pants in whatever color you’re feeling, and pair them with the cropped velour track jacket – but don’t stop there! Elevate the look with a leather coat or blazer. Mixing two bold textures gives the look a sort of sophistication and added flair. Throw on a pair of pointed toe heels and be sure to accessorize with clean, simple jewelry to make the outfit feel sharp and ready to wear out of the house so you can slay the day.
4. HOLIDAY VELVET ENERGY
Velvet is holiday style. Rich tones, textures, and depth make any outfit party ready. If you’re looking for ways to innovate your holiday fit this year, maybe try something a little bit outside of your comfort zone. The Velvet Big T Cargo Baggy Pant are the perfect statement piece for any holiday gathering when styled with expert care (just be sure to double check sizing). Pair them with a layered corset top and a some jewel toned pumps for a look that will turn heads at any holiday function.
5. RELAXED VELVET
Sometimes girls just want to chill, relax, and kick back—but even if you’re hanging out at home for the day, you can still look good and feel your best. Pull out all the stops for yourself with your favorite pair of velour crystal low rise shorts. These keep the comfort while still feeling like your bad self. Pair it with your favorite tee or tank, a pair of slippers, and your softest blankie so you can hit the couch in style.
