How to Style Velvet

Happy Sunday! Sharing how to style velvet today since it’s such a versatile fabric!

We had such a nice weekend, full of cooking and relaxing! I am sipping on some sleepy time tea as I am writing this, winding down the weekend. We are doing a dry January + no going out to eat so we’ve been spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I think we will break our rule for a day next weekend because we are visiting Universal Studios. We have passes left and forgot they expire after next week! I am excited to get back there, at a much cooler time of year.

Velvet has been going strong the past few years and become a texture I love to style. There are so many velvet pieces to style – hair accessories, shoes, dresses, skirts, blazers, etc. When wearing a velvet piece, I tend to keep the rest of the outfit more simple and let the velvet stand out. Below are some outfits I have styled!

Velvet Dress

This Buddy Love dress would be wonderful for Valentine’s Day! I belted the middle and paired with easy black accessories. It fits true to size.

Navy Velvet Blazer

I love the long over sized fit of this open blazer. With the length, I wanted to pair with a mini skirt so that I didn’t look like I was drowning in it. It fits true to size.
