How to Wear Velvet for Every Occasion

You know winter is well on its way when velvet enters the scene. Part 90s fashion homage, part holiday staple, women’s clothing, accessories, shoes and handbags in luxurious velvet can elevate both your everyday style and looks for special occasions, including all those holiday parties spreading across your calendar. Don’t miss out on one of the biggest trends of fall fashion 2015. Here are some tips and examples on how to nail this look and make it your own. Shop these wonderful wardrobe essentials with Cash Back at Ebates.

Velvet Dresses

There’s no better way to create a classic yet glamorous look than with a velvet dress. This Eloquii black velvet dress is simply chic with a little texture to add visual interest and a shape to hug curves. Many plus size clothing stores have introduced velvet styles this season as well, so pieces like this are relatively easy to find.

You don’t always have to go dark and daring with velvet. Keep it light and flirty with this adorable floral dress in a breathtaking blue. Perfect for the office but easily amped up for evening, this piece will have plenty of mileage in your wardrobe.

Velvet may been seen as a bit old-fashioned but pieces like this bodycon dress prove it can be sultry and sassy. In an eye-catching purple, this dress is perfect for clubs and cocktails with the girls when paired with a bold heel. Or you can take it to the office with leggings and a chunky scarf.

Velvet Skirts

Easily mix velvet into your winter wardrobe with skirts for all occasions. This navy midi skirt pairs perfectly with basic shirts and sweaters or a sequin/metallic top for more festive outings.

Kick up your weekend and casual looks with a velvet mini skirt. This piece offers a little edge with a ribbed texture and easily pairs with sneakers and tees for an off-the-clock outfit with a bit of high fashion.

Velvet and print is not too much of a good thing when it comes to this burnout skirt. Wear it with a button-down blouse for work or a black shell top and pumps for date night.

Velvet Tops

A velvet jacket or wrap top has major black-tie appeal. Conservative yet fashion-forward, this piece can easily pair with a pleated skirt or cigarette pants for ultra-fancy events like the ballet or opera.

For a casual yet statement-making look, this slouchy velvet tunic is completely versatile and looks just as amazing with jeans and sneakers as it does black skinny pants and platform heels.

Lo and behold, velvet does not always come in vampy colors and earth tones. This peach crop top will stun with a gold pencil skirt for evening or high-waisted jeans for the weekend. You can also wear a shell top underneath to town down the look for the office.

Velvet Accessories

Small touched of velvet go a long way, especially in the form of jewelry, shoes and handbags. This velvet and crystal necklace is so perfectly holiday, we can just taste the pumpkin spice and eggnog. Hit it out of the park by pairing it with your LBD or LWD.

In a luscious red, this Rebecca Minkoff purse will make a serious statement with any black cocktail dress in your closet. However, a white dress with a gold plate belt would be the epitome of holiday style.

Keep it cutesy with these little bunny flats! A pop of green goes a long way, whether you pair them with light jeans or a skater skirt.

Deal or Deluxe: Fall Fashion Essentials

The weather may be about to get colder but that doesn’t mean your style still can’t sizzle. Start your fall clothes shopping with a few on-point trends in mind so you don’t miss out on the hottest styles of the season. These six fall essentials for any closet incorporate trends you’ve got to try on for size.

Buttoned Shoulder Turtleneck Sweater (The Limited $34.96) | Relaxed Turtleneck Sweater (LOFT $69.50) | Vince Colorblock Turtleneck Sweater (Nordstrom $365)

It’s all the the small details. Colorblocking and embellishments (like shoulder buttons) really elevate everyday fall staples like the all-mighty turtleneck–an absolute must for those blustery days out on the town.

Genuine Suede Origami Skirt (Forever 21 $37.90) | High Waisted A-Line Sailor Mini Skirt (EXPRESS $59.90) | Theory Skirt – Shanrial Leather Color Block (Bloomingdale’s $495)

Who says mini skirts are just for summer? These barely-there minis have just the right colors and textures to be totally fall-centric and can easily be warmed up with a good pair of tights.

Diamond Pattern Tights (Forever 21 $3.99) | Chelsea28 ‘Hex Floral’ Lace Tights (Nordstrom $18) | Wolford ‘Laisa’ Chevron Tights (Nordstrom $58)

Did someone say tights? Go from practically to posh by adding a little print to your tights. This look is especially chic when the print is woven as a pattern, as opposed to dyed.

Ultra Light Down Jacket (UNIQLO $69.90) | Packable Primaloft Jacket (Lands’ End $99) | Laundry by Shelli Segal Hooded Short Packable Puffer Jacket (Bloomingdale’s $248)

Puffer jackets give your everyday looks a sporty vibe and the best part is that they come in a variety of styles. A shinning finish is totally statement-making while a print adds a little playfulness.

Boho Artist Flare Jean (American Eagle Outfitters $49.95) | Articles of Society Red Label ‘Kick’ Flare Jeans (Nordstrom $88) | rag & bone/JEAN Mid-Rise Stretch Corduroy Flared Jeans (Saks Fifth Avenue $198)

Get your vintage fix by throwing a pair (or three) of colored flared-leg pants into the mix. Flared corduroys are so 70s chic and look amazing with a simple and crisp white tee.

Aerosoles Sweet Ride (Shoes.com $88.95) | Jayyden (Steve Madden $169.95) | Loeffler Randall Hattie Leather & Neoprene Platform Wedge Boots (Saks Fifth Avenue $450)

Get bold and maybe even a little gothic with some serious black boots. Stomp the sidewalk like a catwalk this fall in sturdy yet fashion-forward boots in sleek, modern styles.
