Who says velvet is just for the ladies?! Gentlemen, get ready to rev up your wardrobe because velvet is the fab new fabric you need now. From tailored blazers to men’s velvet loafers that add panache to any ensemble—velvet is in and elevating every outfit you own. Read on for some styling tips and key items every guy should have in his arsenal.
The Velvet Blazer
The most effortless option, a men’s velvet blazer is easy to throw on over everything from a dress shirt and plaid trousers to a tee and jeans. Practice neutrality with a men’s black velvet blazer that will play well with almost everything you have in your closet, or prep for a holiday party with a festive red blazer for men. Up the ante with a Christmas plaid tie and pocket square, and you’ll earn extra styling points from Santa. If you need to suit up for a black-tie event or winter wedding, consider a men’s velvet suit instead of a traditional pinstripe or navy-blue suit.
The Velvet Loafer
Velvet loafers or smoking slippers instantly take any look up a notch while simultaneously drawing the eye down. Even simple outfits can benefit from the luxe texture velvet brings to the table. We’d wear them with pants designed with slim or tapered legs and definitely skip the socks! If your everyday outfits lean more casual, consider a velvet low-top sneaker that complements sportier ensembles. Any way you wear it, a velvet shoe adds the perfect finishing touch, just like a polished men’s watch or a tidy fedora.
The Velvet Shirt
A must-have piece for the guy who’s bold, charismatic and knows how to dress. A crushed velvet button-up is the definition of Rockstar style when paired with destructed slim-fit jeans. Pair a crinkled velvet shirt with gray denim and your signature cologne for a captivating date-night vibe.
The Velvet Accessory
If you’re feeling non-committal about velvet, dip your toes in the water with a smaller accessory like a bowtie that adds a small pop of luxury. Accessories always make the outfit, much like an engraved pair of cufflinks or a soft pair of argyle socks.
