Sexy Velvet – How To Wear A Velvet Blazer For Fall
I am quite like George in that I’d like to wrap myself in velvet.
I lieu of a velvet track suit however I have decided upon this deep olive velvet blazer…
I’m terribly smitten with it.
Are you keen on velvet? Do you own any?
Andrea@WellnessNotes says
I do own a velvet blazer, but I don’t wear it very much. I should change that!
Love the two looks!
Shybiker says
I’ve always loved velvet but never owned anything made of it. Probably ’cause men’s clothes rarely use it. Hey, you’re giving me a great idea! *off to the thrift store*
Paperesse says
That’s a beauty and it would look great with your red hair. I didn’t know velvet blazers were “back”. I had some when I was about, oh, 15 I think? I like the look, though.

Ha ha. Love George. Actually I’ve been feeling like velvet was about to make a come-back. You have confirmed it. Black velvet with your auburn hair. The stuff of poetry.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!! Not enabling – I’m encouraging, I’m being supportive, I’m being a friend. I wore my black velvet blazer today and someone asked to pet it and said that she would even wear it because usually she wouldn’t wear what I wear. It’s the power of the nap.
Lana says
That color would be gorgeous on you. I have a plum velvet blazer that I wear during the holidays. One of my favorites!
Kristian says
I really love both these styles. Velvet always looks so cool, but how it feels just bothers me, so I’m not sure I’d ever wear it- but if I did, it would be to emulate that first look!
Patti says
I do love velvet and have an olive-colored shrug I can wear on our twelve cool days per year! This one looks fab. xox

I have a burgundy velt blazer which I love but pretty much only wear it during the holidays. I think if it was another color, I may wear it more often. I love the olive color of this blazer.

Oh, yes, I should like to wrap myself in a velvet jacket, mine in royal purple, thanks!
That blazer looks amazing, and it has a particularly fabulous shape!.
I worn some velvet when I was a teenager (80’s were so funny!), and I remember a deep red velvet frock- coat, which was absolutley stunning!. I think I need more velvet in my wardrobe just now!

The one thing that’s kept me from buying this same blazer is the ruched sleeves. Please tell me if you find them annoying. I feel that I’d rather scrunch my sleeves myself as other times I’d like them long.

I’ll let you know. I thought about that briefly before hitting the buy button too.
Petite Silver Vixen says
I would live in velvet if I could. You’ve inspired me to do a post featuring my velvet jacket. Scuttles off to the back of her wardrobe, muttering ‘where the hell is my velvet jacket……..’
Stay tuned.

Ha ha! : )
Vix says
I’m wearing one today (with a thermal vest underneath)! xxx
Trina says
No question, buy that beauty today! In fact the entire second ensemble, I say buy, boots and bag are a must!
Elle says
Do I own any? 😉 yup. I have a similar blazer in chocolate brown that I have been neglecting…
Love the Milly skirt, and the ostrich birkin is gorgeous, love both looks! The price point is stratospheric, but it is probably a good investment for someone.. ( not me)
I also love my new- to -me, second hand , long velvet gloves.
Well done! I would love to have that second outfit. even sans the birkin…
xx, Elle
