Velvet is the best, most luxurious fabric of the season—an essential for any festive party or happy hour with friends. A velvet top with detail is just the thing to pair with a jacquard suit, with printed pants, or sequin mini. Not to mention, velvet in a rich jewel tone pops when coordinated with a statement necklace or chunky earrings.

SHOP: ruched velvet top in deep teal bay or black @LOFT ($54.95, available in sizes XS-XL).

I ordered both, when LOFT had an especially can’t-miss sale + discount code offer, & have only worn the teal.

How would you style this type? Do you like the teal or black? How often are you wearing velvet this season? For more stylish posts, check out: a comfy sweater set from Walmart, the teaser trailer for the new Barbie movie, & Zoe Saldaña on the cover of InStyle for December 2022! Happy Styling!
