Well, it’s not just any velvet that’s in this season! On a recently trip to Saks, I was amazed by the amount of various red velvet jeans and jackets. And to be more specific, it’s more like dark red or wine colored velvet.
Here are some reasons I love this look (at least in jeans):
-It’s a great neutral for the season. Deep red goes with blue, black and a myriad of neutrals.
-It’s rich and cozy looking. I mean who doesn’t love the feel and softness of this material?
-The dark red is flattering on most figures. In lieu of “louder” patterned jeans, if you aren’t a size 2, this dark color helps out the most fullest of figures.
-It’s the perfect pant for work. I know as I designer, I feel the need to dress up for work most days and regular jeans are a little too casual. Velvet jeans are comfortable and casual, yet still stylish and upscale looking.
Here are a few examples of my fav’s”
