I like that velvet is enjoying a moment of popularity: few materials are so luxe, but it’s also true that few materials can skew just as super-cheap if deployed incorrectly, so you’ve got to be careful when making your choices. I think this jacket drapes beautifully, and the color is to die.
This dress is both retroish and modern at once.
I’d wear these jeans with a black blazer and boots and call it a day.
A belted blazer is so sophisticated and French-looking. Here’s something similar and un-belted if you’re interested.
This versatile tank also comes in black (and a few other colors) but I think it’s nice and antique-y in the ice blue.
I like the flattering neckline on this blouse, and the bit of interest on the sleeves.
A grey velvet puffer is such a sophisticated way to approach the cold.
This snakeskin-print jacket is a little rock & roll, but still very grown-up.
A hoodie that would be excellent for layering under a blazer.
The tuxedo details on this blazer make it standout.
This sweatshirt is actually velour, but I’ll give it a pass cause it’s so poppy and cute.
I’d wear this cropped bomber with a flowy dress.
The ruched sleeves on this top lend a dose of romance.
Just a good pair of black jeans.
And finally: I adore the pink on this blazer; here’s something similar and cheaper.
I LOVE velvet. Have since the sixties. That first jacket would look so perfect over a slip dress and I agree the color is lovely. I also love velvet jeans and velvet blazers and that ice blue tank would make me feel so elegant. I want everything!
