As far as I can remember I've only had one velvet item: a black jacket. If I absolutely had to have something velvet, I'd still pick a black blazer, but no velvet is not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1751023 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 19:40:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 1751023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a small dose of velvet, a skinny scarf would be optimal for my style.</p> <p>I would be tempted by a velvet cami, I would layer it over a fine gauge jersey polo neck and wear some statement vintage earrings for a retro look.</p> <p>High street velvet can be hit or miss, why are some items crunchy and yet others are too thin and slippery? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750993 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 17:31:17 +0000 April 1750993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In case you're young enough that this is your first velvet rodeo -- keep it very far away from your iron. &nbsp;Velvet and irons do not mix, and the damage cannot be reversed.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750928 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:16:04 +0000 Tanya 1750928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in as another velvet fan.&nbsp; I have held on to a couple of old pairs of velvet pants in various cuts, and am very glad for that.&nbsp; I had to get rid of my two velvet blazers as they were deemed too dated by the forum, and would love appropriate affordable substitutes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did get a spaghetti-strap velvet top, which is really a cami to me, and I plan to wear it as such anyway: peeking under deeper v-cuts, such as the wrap cardigan below.&nbsp; It will ertinly be warmer and prettier than usual cotton cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750923 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:04:11 +0000 April 1750923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years back, I had found two J Crew velvet blazers in &nbsp;a consignment shop at a great price. &nbsp;Really nice velvet with heavy satin lining. &nbsp;One deep eggplant, one chocolate brown. &nbsp;Of course, they left me during a closet purge. &nbsp;</p> <p>You don't know how much I wish I had ignored my over-purger tendencies and held onto them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750922 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:00:53 +0000 April 1750922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is making me want a badge to award that means "I AM GETTING INSPIRED" by what you wrote.</p> <p>Yoo hoo, Greg... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750858 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:02:04 +0000 kkards 1750858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love love love velvet, but haven't wear any yet this year.....i do have a black velvet tee from years and years ago that i'm just waiting for the right time to wear again.....maybe thanksgiving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750847 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:20:44 +0000 Style Fan 1750847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet (and suede).&nbsp; I don't own any velvet clothing right now.&nbsp; I hope to change that.&nbsp; The cover for my duvet is velvet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750836 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 10:27:30 +0000 Astrid 1750836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet. I'm still looking for a replacement for my vintage velvet skirt, years later. But I don't like most of the velvets I've seen right now, most of them look kind of cheap (probably because they are) and don't feel all that nice to the touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750826 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:33:26 +0000 Bijou 1750826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet and usually have a few items in my wardrobe. I once had a full length black velvet dress that was amazing, it was so slimming. Currently I have two velvet coats (one a dark floral print and the other textured in a rose colour), two velvet jackets (one raspberry in a smoking jacket style and the other midnight blue) and a black velvet top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750823 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:04:37 +0000 Sisi 1750823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet, and especially velvet jackets.&nbsp;It is a terrible lint magnet though, especially if it is natural (made from cotton or silk) so if you have pets, better to stay away from&nbsp;black and blue ... ask me how I know. But it is so elegant that it is worth some fuss.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750820 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 07:59:12 +0000 harmonica 1750820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one chocolate brown and one berry coloured velvet blazer in the 90's. Now I'll enjoy it on others, but if a nice piece crosses my way I might get it. Angie taught me to keep an open mind, but I won't be hunting for velvet. I like the velvet tops from Boden, though. And I love suede. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750819 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 07:58:01 +0000 harmonica 1750819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one chocolate brown and one berry coloured velvet blazer in the 90's.

I never stopped wearing but will enjoy being trendy this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750773 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 03:02:07 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1750773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the love camp now that I've found my perfect combination; crushed velvet in metallic gunmetal used on a maximal bomber jacket with pops of yellow/orange AND a dragon. What's not to like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750768 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 02:48:22 +0000 BrieN 1750768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not on team velvet. But ooooohhhh what Angie said about suede being her velvet. &nbsp;I'm so on board with that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750761 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 02:21:37 +0000 tulle 1750761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had forgotten velvet's allure until Annagybe posted those yummy pale examples, and wow did I ever fall hard for those!&nbsp; I'm still trying to decide between a vanilla velvet shirt and a lilac shirtdress, but meanwhile I've been digging into the back of the closet for some older black velvet pieces--a fitted boatneck top and a little mandarin-collared jacket with frog closures. Thinking of pairing the top with a blue, black, &amp; white leopard print gathered skirt from DVF.&nbsp; The jacket could look new with jeans, I think. This should be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750759 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 02:18:33 +0000 cindysmith 1750759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to look at velvet and I like the feel of it, but I don't own any. I live in the country fried middle of nowhere, and our lifestyle is very casual and relaxed, so it just isn't practical for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750757 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 02:10:06 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1750757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a green velvet blazer and skinny scarf from last &nbsp;year. I had a lilac jacket that I passed on because it was too stiff. I like texture mixes, which makes velvet a good choice in my book. </p> <p>Oh yea, I also have a couple of velvet t-shirts.</p> <p>April, I might wear a down-filled bra. But not as outerwear!! ;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-trend-are-you-loving-it-or-hating-it/page/2#post-1750753 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 01:52:39 +0000 Anonymous 1750753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any velvet, but am open to it if it's not too dressy.
