Have you noticed that velvet is having a moment? You may not
feel 100% confident about wearing velvet on an ordinary day, but the holidays
are filled with opportunities to pull it off—dressed up or dressed down. I
picked up a black velvet blazer from Ann Taylor a few years ago and have found
it to be the perfect jacket to go over a cocktail dress or to wear with dressy
jeans and a nice blouse. If I have a party or event right after work, I don’t
have time to spend an hour digging through my closet for the right outfit. A
velvet jacket goes with anything. That being said, I am so ready to branch out
to something a little more daring. This lacey velvet jacket from Free People is
exactly what I need! I love the chartreuse color, but the washed purple would
be lovely too. This jacket has a moto style and it laces up on the sides and at
the wrists. They styled it with jeans and a pair of black crops, but wouldn’t
it be pretty over a fall maxi dress? There are so many velvet jacket options
right now—you can play it safe or take a walk on the wild side, but whichever
way you go, you’ll make someone very happy with this gift!
