The luxury of velvet

I love the luxury of velvet at this time of year. It always seems so soft and glamorous. It can be worn day or evening. Combine a velvet blazer with a pair of satin or crepe trousers for the evening. During the day the same jacket can be teamed with a pair of jeans and chunky boots.

I have a velvet blazer very similar to the one above that I bought from Hush in 2018. I have worn it on many occasions and it is still one of my favourites. See how I wore it last year.

There are plenty of velvet jackets in the stores this year, some of them are on sale. I have put a selection below.

You can wear a velvet jacket now under a coat if it is cold and on its own in the Spring when the weather gets a bit warmer. The luxury of velvet is an all-year-round indulgence.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

Beautiful blazer! This winter I have bought three velvet skirts. Last week I purchased a black velvet blazer. Perhaps I should have bought the green but the black blazer will go with all the skirts if I actually choose to wear them together. I'm not usually that match-match so I doubt I will actually. Haven't worn velvet since I was a little girl!
