How to Wear Velvet

Wearing velvet should make you look stylish and sexy. To avoid looking completely OTT and not to mention dowdy, never wear velvet from head-to-toe. Only add a piece of velvet clothing to your outfit and match it with other materials. If you are going for an eye-catching velvet corset top, team it up with a pair of tight and dressy denim jeans. You will appear fab, without appearing like you are overdoing the style.

Wearing a short and chic velvet dress? Do remember to tone down on your accessories. Since the fabric is classy and plush, you should go for simple and classic jewellery pieces. Go for hoops or diamante studs for earrings. Choose your necklaces depending on the neckline of your dress. A low-cut dress would go well with an elaborate necklace. Instead of loading up on jewellery, just stick to one signature piece to add to your whole look.
