How to wear velvet dresses like a diva?
Velvet can be a bit tricky because the material can look cheap, especially if the fit is not right. Avoid going for crushed velvet, which may not work for every occasion. Smooth velvet is best suited for sophisticated looks, especially in rich colours like burgundy, maroon, wine, and blue. If you are wearing a velvet dress to work, team it with a blazer, but avoid the velvet-on-velvet look. With velvet dresses, you don’t need a lot of accessories, because the material itself demands a lot of attention and it can look a ‘bit too much.’ Go for a pair of pearl studs, or just keep it simple with a bracelet.

Contrary to what many women think, velvet dresses don’t have to be formal or just reserved for the evenings. It all depends on how you style the outfit, and the statement of ‘less is more’ is always the best approach. Check this page for more new additions in our collection of dresses!
