Crushing on Velvet: How to Wear Fall's Fave Fabric


Velvet: it's rich, it's sumptuous, it once was so pricey only royalty could afford to have garments made from it. Fortunately, those days are long gone and velvet pieces are readily available. Though it comes and goes on the runways, velvet never really goes out of style. Whether it's a girly fit-and-flare dress, a tailored vest, or a pair of ankle-length skinnies, let this be the year you add velvet to your wardrobe. Check out these aspirational velvet styles from the catwalk to see what we mean.

 
  • Royal Purple

    Just one piece from this entire look would amp up your wardrobe. That deep, rich purple hue is flattering on almost every skin tone, too. The shape of the pant and the satin top are classic enough to be worn over and over. Can you say, investment piece?

  • Pink Lady

    Most velvet pieces you see will be black or emerald or royal or ruby...but don't let that fool you into thinking you can't try it in a softer, more feminine color. Here's the proof.

    You can never have too many LBDs in your closet; we mean it. Try something in fitted black velvet to add to your collection. This says winter cocktail party to perfection.

  • 3-Piece

    Suits are everywhere as menswear picks up enough speed to be more than a designer whim only displayed on models. If you're not ready to go head-to-toe, try a fitted vest.

  • Burnout

    Check out the next couple of slides for texturized patterns known as the burnout effect on velvet. It marries "sheer" sex appeal with high end taste. We heart.

    This year, a star-studded cast is going to make its way into your local movie theater with a remake of the film adaptation for F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel about the American Dream. As a result, turn-of-the-century inspired looks will be coming to a store near you. Try a velvet drop-waist number like this one and party like it's 1919.
