I have always considered people who wear velvet to have their lives together. That is probably a false assumption but I too want to be as sophisticated and together as they are when I see how confidently they own their velvet looks.
You too can come on this journey to sophisticated velvet fashion with me and feel inspired!

Channel a bit of old Hollywood in a velvet dress for both everyday looks and special occasions.
A shorter velvet dress is a perfectly sophisticated look for every day wear whether you’re going to work or out. It is simple and neutral enough to be fitting for a work environment without compromising your fashion sense.
A long velvet dress is the look of old Hollywood protagonists and a look that has carried through eras to still be fashionable and appropriate today. It is a perfect look for a formal event or gala. A black velvet dress can never lead you astray in a formal setting.

Being sophisticated doesn’t mean you can’t also be sexy at the same time.

You too can steal the look whether you want to wear them sexy or not. You can simply roll them down to your wrists for a more casual look for everyday sophistication or wear them long for a sexy, confident look.
