How To Style a Velvet Blazer

Velvet is amazing when worn back with different fabrics. 

You can dress it up or dress it down.
 

You can run the kids to school, wear it for that Zoom meeting, or take it out for cocktails.
 

Styling your velvet smoking jacket can be a fun and versatile way to elevate your wardrobe.

Here are some tips on how to style it for different occasions:
 

1. Casual Chic:
 

Basic Tee: Wear a simple, neutral-colored t-shirt underneath. White, black, or light grey works well.

Pair with Jeans: Combine your velvet blazer with a pair of well-fitted jeans. Opt for skinny or straight-leg cuffed jeans for a sleek look or go for a flared jean for an extreme statement.

Footwear: Complete the look with ankle boots or street sneakers for a laid-back yet polished appearance.

Fit is Key: Ensure your velvet blazer fits well at the shoulders and waist. 

Colour Coordination: Velvet blazers come in various colours. Jewel tones like teal and burgundy are particularly striking. Neutral colours like black, navy, and light grey (we mixed it up with champagne) are versatile and classic.

Texture Play: Velvet is a rich fabric. Pairing it with contrasting textures like silk, denim, or leather can create a balanced and interesting look.

By mixing and matching these elements, you can style your velvet blazer for almost any occasion, ensuring you always look effortless.


Remember, love always wins when it comes to colour and style.

You are the Boss of your wardrobe and know how to make anything work.
