Turn Your Evening Gowns into Luxurious Attire with Velvet

Evening velvet dresses are classy for formal occasions giving the classy touch. Whether this is a floor-length gown in deep colours such as emerald green, navy, or burgundy – or it’s an elegant midi dress with the slightest sparkles of velvet, velvet adds the glamour of the outfit. When wearing a velvet dress opt for some glimmer by colouring your heels and clutch the same colour as the material, be it silver or gold. The final speck of colour that can make your lips stand out is classic red lipstick enhances the total impression.

 

 

Specialty Velvets for Power Suits

Velvet blazers perfectly suit almost any clothing style. Timeless, striking and confident personified, whether it is worn paired with a pair of tailored trousers to a business meeting or over a slip dress to a

night out, the velvet blazer has it all. We like black, maroon and midnight blue best, however, there is nothing wrong with having a go at brighter colours like mustard, teal etc. Complete the outfit with clean and very simple ankle boots or pointed heels.

Semi-Formal Velvet Midi Dresses

Velvet midi dresses are versatile and elegant, meaning you can easily wear them as business formal outfits, or for other semi-formal events. Dresses with flattering details are preferable and these are the styles; Wrap, Ruching, and Puffed Sleeves. Put them with strappy heels and fine jewelry to get a professional look, but not overly corporate. Velvet midi-length dresses in blush, mauve or charcoal grey give a certain level of class without overdoing it.

 

 

Velvet Jumpsuits – Comfort, Style, Flash

Velvet jumpsuits are great news for those who are fans of one-piece wonders. They are elegant and stylish, designed for today’s fashion-conscious woman instead of the style of formal evening dresses. For ladies, the one-suit style should be chosen with a belted waist and the wide-leg styles should be chosen for that elegance. This elegant look will be topped off with metallic accessories, statement earrings, and a clutch.

Cosy Velvet Tops for Casual Days

Velvet is not limited to suits and ties. You can also never go wrong with a touch of velvet top especially if you want your casual wear outfits to look slightly classier. A velvet turtleneck should be worn with high-waist jeans and calf boots when the weather is chilly. For the best experience, go for patterned velvet tops that are ruffled or have balloon sleeves, or cropped ones. These tops can also be worn with leather skirts or professional pants if one wants to step up the outfit to a date night suitable level.

Statement Velvet Skirts for Party-Ready Looks

Velvet skirts are a worthy addition to what to wear in the winter. A midi or a maxi-length velvet skirt in jewel tones, such as sapphire or amethyst could be perfect for any occasion. To make it even more relaxed some chunky knit sweater and some knee-high boots are good enough. However, for a night out when you want to ‘elevate’ it then wear a silky blouse and appropriate jewellery. The most common velvet speciality is that it is soft which makes it look and feel romantic when worn.

Velvet Pants for a Sophisticated Edge

Velvet pants are one of the most gorgeous unexpected trends to rock this winter. The flared pants can be worn in narrow, slightly loose or tightly fitting cuts and can be formal or casual wear. These can be worn with a sexy silky blouse and high stilettos for evening wear or a huge knit and sneakers for a casual outing. Suitable colour examples are black, taupe, and cream, which gives the outfit a minimalist appearance with shades of blue, green, red, and purple for a little dramatic flair.

Luxurious Velvet Accessories for Subtle Glam

But if you are still not willing to commit to wearing velvet clothes, you can try starting with accessories. Accessories such as velvet bags, headbands, and shoes can easily turn any outfit from basic to absolutely chic. A velvet clutch in a deep shade looks very elegant for evening wear, while velvet scrunchies or headbands offer a fun yet classy feel to casual wear. Velvet ankle boots or any kind of loafers are comfortable and trendy during winter.

Layering with Velvet Outerwear

Velvet coats and jackets are among the many fashion statements that one should own during the winter season. Not only are velvet trousers great for chilly occasions, but outerwear in this fabric is also luxurious and warm. Worn with black clothes, a velvet coat will look extremely provocative; if you combine a short velvet jacket with a bright dress, you will look very eccentric. Select darker and richer shades since this fabric can bring out the best feel of the room.

Velvet Suits for Head-to-Toe Elegance

For those who want to be wintertime winners, it cannot get any better than a Velvet suit. A velvet suit is most appropriate on formal occasions or during the Christmas season, and if it is a bright green or blue velvet, it is a winner! Best worn with a basic strap T-shirt or Crop Top if you want to bring it into the modern age. Join the shoes with pointed toes plus a chic clutch.

Tips for Styling Velvet

Velvet or any other luxurious material should be used as a part of some more diverse setting. Velvet should be combined with silk, satin or leather thereby equipping the velvet furniture with a glamorous opposition. It is suitable not to over-accessorize the dress and while applying makeup, you should do it in a natural glowing look to make the dress fabric richer. Lastly, always take care of your velvet products because they easily wrinkle and fade. Don’t get me wrong, velvet is beautiful; however, this material has to be worn wisely. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Balance is Key: Velvet accented fabric is eye-catching, thus do not saturate your fabric with other rich materials such as velvet instead, use subtlety such as cotton, silk and denim.
• Choose the Right Colors: Velvet’s best complemented by jewel tones and darker colours because of the depth together with the texture it brings to the outfit.
• Accessorize Wisely: For a more sophisticated look use simple jewellery or if desired go for metallic accessorization.
• Consider the Occasion: Velvet is best worn in formal/night attire for formal/night occasions, though, some lighter velvets may be appropriate for casual occasions.
