The jacket is one of the most basic and versatile pieces of the wardrobe, a garment that can be worn easily all year round and adapts to any occasion. But in winter, it takes on an even more refined mood: the velvet jacket becomes the ideal choice for a stylish, seasonal version of this supremely classic and timeless staple.
Soft to the touch and look, shiny and smooth, velvet effortlessly enhances any outfit, from the most formal to casual and athletic. It's no coincidence that the velvet jacket, like velvet dresses, has established itself as one of the most beloved choices of the festive season: it is worn both in evening looks and in everyday life, paired with basic pieces, skirts or trousers just like a cotton or wool one.
How to combine a velvet jacket? Vogue's guide to creating the perfect look
Warm and with a sense of luxury, this season it becomes the key piece that gives instant elegance and elevates looks. Its versatility makes it now indispensable, as it is a material that is easily combined with many fabrics - wool, cashmere, denim, but also silk and satin.
A piece to wear perhaps over a nice, oversized turtleneck sweater or even under a coat, replacing the classic sweater or cardigan. But also an impressive dress, tailored trousers or a maxi, midi or mini skirt – whatever you prefer and according to the latest trends.
Colors and textures that make the difference
As for the texture and color, you can also choose a version in corduroy, in a basic shade like black, gray or cream, or even in red or forest green. In short, there are no stylistic boundaries to limit you, while it elevates your every look with a refined air.
