Velvet Crush


When you think of velvet, you probably conjure mental images of ill fitting prom dresses and Cher’s entire wardrobe. But the lush fabric once worn solely by royalty and rock stars has made its way onto the catwalk as a designer favorite. From blazers to trousers and even shoes, the textured material is a season staple. Velvet’s brilliant blend of opulence with just the right amount of tasteful tacky makes it the perfect thing to wear to all your holiday fêtes. Whether you pair with simple accessories or drape yourself head to toe (we feel you, George Costanza), here’s a list of our velvet crushes:

Cooperative Velvet Loafers- These cute, comfortable loafers in soft velvet are enough to make Hugh Hefner jealous.
Urban Renewal Vintage Cropped Velvet Jacket- Wear this blazer over a silk blouse or mini dress to add structure and glamour.
7 for all Mankind Skinnies- Bend the “leggings aren’t pants rule” and slip into these luxurious jeggings. Luna Solis Velvet Turban Headband- Don this Cher-worthy headband to channel ultimate seventies chic. Unlovable Velvet Bow Brawlette- Yes, even undewear. A glam rock-inspired brawlette customized to your taste.
