How to Wear Velvet this Holiday Season

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

The holiday season is upon us, ladies! What better way to show our holiday spirit than by amplifying our wardrobes with nothing other than velvet!  Here are some ways you can incorporate velvet in your wardrobe:

1. Dresses

Velvet dresses are simple, but sweet.  They are the perfect way to rock velvet this holiday season! I especially love this one – the simple cut with the added touch of velvet is adorable.  It can be found at Urban Outfitters.

2. Jumpsuit

If you’re feeling a little more edgy and want to branch out from wearing a dress, try a jumpsuit! This velvet jumpsuit can be found at Express and it’s ~super cute~.

3. Booties

These velvet booties are to die for!  They are the perfect way to dress up any outfit this holiday season, whether it’s on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. Everyone will be asking you where you got them! You can find them at Steve Madden.

4. Sneakers

 

There are not only velvet booties… there are also velvet sneakers! If you’re trying to dress up a casual outfit this winter, but still be super comfortable, this is the best way to do it! The added platform on these makes them even more fashionable. You can also find these at Steve Madden.

5. Shirt

A super easy way to incorporate velvet into your wardrobe is to throw on a velvet top!  This adorable top is also on-trend with the off the shoulder style. You can find it at J Crew Factory.

6. Bag

Last, but not least, another cute way to add some velvet into your wardrobe is by using a velvet bag.  This the perfect way to add the finishing touches to your looks this holiday season! You can find this bag at Old Navy.
