VELVET UNDERGROUND

Elegant and oh-so-sumptuous, the luxe fabric is undoubtedly perfect for fancy soirées and posh evening affairs—but it can work for daytime too. Style your velvet pantsuit with chunky-soled boots for that nonchalant vibe, or go for a richly hued printed dress for that effortless day-to-night transition. Keep your hair, makeup and other add-ons sleek and chic.
