Velvet has long been an image of regal luxury. With the trends leaning toward a more pulled together look it’s not so surprising that velvet has taken center stage this fall- from silk to cotton, crushed to corduroy; everyone is wearing it in one form or another! A simple way to work the soft, opulent material into your everyday wardrobe, the velvet blazer is popping up for both men and women in countless styles, fit to be dressed up or down.
For
the ladies, luxury retailers, including Bluefly.com,
offer form-fitting cuts from Rebecca Taylor, BCBG, and Marc Jacobs. Retailer Chadwick’s
of Boston offers very similar styles at a fraction of the price- $22.99
- $69.99. Whether you rock a traditional, equestrian-style blazer, or an embellished,
tie-waist number, your inner-fashionista will be unleashed…and no one needs
to know how much it DIDN’T cost!
For
the stylish men of the world, the velvet
blazer takes several forms- from timeless three-button sportcoats, to the
rock-n-roll friendly, Hefner-esque archetypes. Hugo
Boss, Theory,
and Ben
Sherman are all great tailored choices, with prices ranging from $350 -
$695. Nordstrom’s carries a comparable
look for under
a hundred. Who can resist the
sophistication of a velvet blazer for a price that low!
the middle one in red color is great, from where I can buy it?
