Though they are not permanently in fashion, they tend to alwayse come back. I love them because they are casual elegant (or elegant casual if you want) and can be styled with almost anything. These are just some of the items I have worn with my velvet pants:<br /> ● Tee, same colour as the pants, or a lighter tone<br /> ● Patterned button-front shirt, one of the colours being the same as the pants<br /> ● Glitter turtleneck<br /> ● Mohair pullover<br /> ● Lace blouse<br /> ● Multi-coloured patterned V- or round-neck pullover<br /> ● Pullover with Breton stripes<br /> ● Cardigan, same colour as the pants<br /> ● Long checked cardigan<br /> ● Velvet blazer in a contrasting colour<br /> ● Corduroy waistcoat<br /> ● Tweed blazer<br /> ● Thick wool outer jacket<br /> ● Knitted hat &amp; gloves<br /> ● Chunky pendant<br /> ● Patterned scarf/shawl<br /> ● Thin wool socks<br /> ● Loafers<br /> ● Oxfords<br /> ● Suede booties<br /> ● Fashion sneakers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1962152 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 19:26:46 +0000 nemosmom 1962152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you said you were leaning toward a wide leg pant, but would a straight leg give you more footwear options (I'm new here, and not very savvy... hoping to learn!)???&nbsp; I remember when I wore a wide leg trouser for work I felt limited to pumps or point-toe flats. Granted, that was at least a decade ago.... :\</p> <p>Angie - That mustard velvet suit is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1962053 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 14:52:22 +0000 Angie 1962053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence. I prefer the look of a velvet skirt, and this one is gorgeous. Tried and tested by clients. </p> <p>That said, I LOVE the mustard velvet suit. A few classics on the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1962028 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 13:41:53 +0000 Jessikams 1962028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J crew has cute ones with an elastic waist. I believe I own a pair in the same cut, but made of lace not velvet (a few years old). They are SO comfortable and easy to wear with anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1962021 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 13:25:35 +0000 kkards 1962021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well this sent me down a rabbit hole...i never thougth about velvet pants for casaul wear....and now i really want some... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1962018 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 13:06:01 +0000 Anonymous 1962018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always yearned for velvet pants. &nbsp;I'll watch your thread for advice. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961949 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 06:13:14 +0000 Anonymous 1961949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything in velvet becomes a jewel tone and black can be a most deep black. For color reasons I have decided not to wear deep velvet, especially black, next to my face. Are the colors flattering for you? A velvet jacket could be worn with jeans or a black pair of trousers or pencil skirt so it can be versatile. Velvet bottoms with a denim jacket..same thing, casualizing the velvet. . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961863 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 23:32:53 +0000 Carla 1961863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, have worn slouchy velvet trousers to work during the dark days of November through February. The tucked silky blouse works, but also slouchy sweaters or lace tank tops under a topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961861 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 23:28:48 +0000 binkle 1961861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like velvet with a contrasting texture - highlights the lovely velvet.</p> <p>And I think you can treat some velvet pants just like jeans, if the pants are structured (not flowy). Meaning, they can work with many many things.</p> <p>Denim and velvet is a great combination - can be dressy-casual, or edgy-dressy: denim shirt, blazer, or traditional denim jacket. Wear a simple cotton, or fancier sequin tee underneath. Faded denim with velvet is so nice! </p> <p>Poufy poet/boho blouses or crisp cotton shirts.</p> <p>Kimono style topper - can be casual or dressy depending on the shoes.</p> <p>From a super-chunky knit, like a cabled sweater, to a fair-isle pattern, to finer merino or cashmere. I guess mohair or angora might not work (little fuzzies everywhere). You could experiment with sweater style too - cropped or long or a more traditional length.</p> <p>Statement jacket: brocade, quilted silk/satin, patchwork.</p> <p>Doc Martens, Cowboy boots, moto boots, the new hiking-style boots, even real hiking/work boots like Timberlands.</p> <p>I think I like velvet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961849 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 22:28:02 +0000 Anonymous 1961849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet jeans worn casually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961845 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 22:14:55 +0000 andeshere 1961845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, good point </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961796 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 18:36:59 +0000 Anonymous 1961796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive worn velvet pants to work, with blouses or refined knits, but they're a pet hair magnet so keeping them off my sartorial menu for now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-pants-question#post-1961791 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 18:19:54 +0000 andeshere 1961791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking about a pair of velvet pants for the holidays - leaning toward wide leg (Boden, J. Crew). I need some inspiration on styling them for a range of occasions. I know I can wear a classic tucked silk blouse and heels or flats (leopard, suede, etc), but I like my pieces to be hard-working and versatile. I am tall and thin, but let’s not limit to that! Thanks </p>
