A resurgence of the 1970s for fall means that velvet is back, too. Especially as a jacket or head to toe suit. But how can you wear it in an updated way that doesn’t look too aging or unflatteringly retro? Here are some ways to style and wear a velvet jacket to look beautiful and stay on trend this fall.

First off, avoid the head to toe velvet look. It was prominent on the runway, but it may be a little strong for everyday. Instead, find a great jacket or cardigan in velvet. Adding a single layer of velvet will add some polish and luxe to your outfits.

The key to looking great in a velvet jacket is to choose one with a relaxed fit, like the Mango options below. When shopping, look for a “boyfriend blazer” velvet jacket or a relaxed tuxedo fit. A relaxed cut is softer, more casual and modern. It normally has a longer length and a boxier cut, which hides flaws well.

Here are a couple of other wardrobe capsule ideas of how you can wear a velvet jacket in an updated way. The two capsule options below use a velvet cardigan or velvet wrap jacket to replace the velvet blazer look. Both dress up a simple t-shirt and leggings or t-shirt and jeans to give you an effortless outfit that can be worn day to night.
