Velvets are good for making a smashing fashion statement. This smooth and luxurious-looking fabric, which is enticing and alluring, needs to be well coordinated to get the best looks. When rocking velvets, remember less is more. The following are basic tips to rocking velvet like a diva:
1. Pick deeper shades
Velvet exhumes luxury, so picking deep colour tones like black, navy, mustard, deep red would be a smart thing to do.
2. Pair with other styles
When wearing velvet, don’t do all velvet. You can pair a velvet pant with a cotton tee, or a velvet top with a bodycon lycra skirt.
3. Go for intricate patterns on velvet
If plain velvet is boring, add to its texture intricate patterns to elevate your looks with velvet. Be it a skirt, jacket or even shoes, the patterns will make you stand out.
4. Go minimal with accessories
Velvet by itself already looks glamorous. When accessorizing, apply the ‘less is more’rule. When wearing a deep v-neck top, accessorise it with a ‘not-too-loud’ necklace.
