What to wear with a velor jacket?

The velor jacket is back on the trend list. Moreover, designers suggest not limiting yourself to any one style or color. Models that have opposite features in terms of length, cut and color are considered fashionable.. Such diversity affects the list of possible ensembles with a velvet jacket. It is allowed to be worn with almost any thing. Even with leggings and mini shorts.

What things can you combine with a women's velor jacket?

Much depends on your figure and preferences. Owners of model parameters are allowed a plain velor trouser suit. Women who want to hide their sides or wide hips should turn to straight or slightly tapered trousers. They are complemented by an elongated jacket or its sleeveless modification.

Skirts and dresses are also acceptable, unless the top is made in an exaggeratedly masculine style. The length of the product and the cut are selected separately for each type of jacket.

Which color and style should I choose?

Don’t be afraid to be bright, feel free to choose things in deep bright colors: emerald, wine, burgundy, blue. Of the classic shades, black is preferable. You can try on the gray one, but not the dirty version. It’s better to choose a soft or steely shade.

Other popular colors:

• brown-red;
• beige;
• cobalt;
• violet.

In terms of style and length, restrictions have been lifted. Designers are again suggesting wearing short models that end at the waistline or just below. As part of this trend, you can look for a jacket that resembles a piece of clothing for a horsewoman or a military jacket, including one with pronounced national attributes. Models that imitate bomber jackets in style and cut details look original and fresh. They seem to be in an intermediate state between these 2 types of clothing.

Long jackets never go out of fashion. Allow yourself to wear the following type of item:

• 1–2 fingers longer than the most protruding point of the thigh;
• reaching mid-calf (this could be a type of jacket-dress or just a very long piece of clothing);
• reaching mid-thigh;
• ending at the groin line or a few centimeters above.

Important! Be sure to try on a model sewn in accordance with the norms of linen style. They are often wrapped, come complete with a belt, and are skillfully but not pretentiously finished.

AND don't be afraid of printed velvet items. Even though the material itself makes you look fat, and the presence of a pattern only enhances the effect, the right cut can outplay them. Just find something with the right style and you won’t have to worry about your figure.

Important! Slimming: horizontal prints, oblique check with reinforced vertical lines, a belt at the waist, strictly defined lines, a combination of light and dark inserts. Makes you look fat: pockets, large flowers, blurred silhouette, repeated pattern of large and multi-colored elements.

Details that will make the bow more advantageous

Designers decorate jackets with the following elements:

• large embroidery;
• contrasting buttons;
• locks and rivets (usually go together; present on models that imitate the cut of a biker jacket);
• pendants (usually along the hem);
• artificial aging (wear, faded shade);
• elbow patches;
• buttons that convey the mood of a certain style (for example, military);
• belt (an element often found on wrap-around models);
• lace;
• thin tape;
• decorative machine stitching.

Quite often there are pockets: sewn-in patches and fake ones. They may not close or be closed with a lock, strap or zipper. There is also diversity in terms of location. The part is placed in the chest area, along the lower edge, and in the waist area.

Important! Pockets, even fake pockets located at the waistline, visually add volume.

Another important difference between trendy velor jackets of the current season is their acceptability.. The store shelves are full of things that have adopted the characteristics of other wardrobe items. For example, Hungarian - the service jacket of the hussars. Its characteristic zigzag patterns made of decorative silver and gold thread, air loops and tassels, a stand-up collar - all this is actively used when sewing jackets for both men and women.

Along with the finishing, the cut is borrowed. Designers suggest wearing things that simultaneously combine the features and details of a jacket, a bomber jacket, or a jacket and a long sleeveless vest. There are models that are more similar to a dress. They are often made in linen style. They do not require a bottom; they act as an independent wardrobe item.

Combine with dress, skirt

Helpful hints:

1. a pleated skirt looks good with a long jacket;
2. An A-line bottom requires a shortened top or an elongated but loose fit and made of very thin velvet;
3. a loose-fitting knee-length or slightly lower skirt does not look good with a buttoned jacket that ends at the groin area;
4. a buttoned, fitted or wrapped jacket is suitable for a figure-hugging skirt or dress;
5. for a floor-length outfit, choose a top without a turn-down collar;
6. a hussar-style item looks wonderful with wardrobe items with a bell-shaped hem.

Dilute the look with trousers

A velvet jacket looks wonderful with culottes made from the same fabric and in the same color scheme. There is no need to wear anything underneath. If wearing a jacket on a naked body is embarrassing, then you should try trying on a T-shirt in a linen style. It can even be longer than the top, but then it will need to be unbuttoned.

A fitted, cropped model, the cut of which looks strict, should be complemented with a white blouse with a stand-up collar. The bottom can be culottes, bananas or dark trousers.

Jeans paired with a straight, unbuttoned jacket can easily be styled with a loose T-shirt or tank top. It can be either plain or printed, the choice depends on the type of top. It’s worth trying on a lingerie-style item, as well as a transparent, non-white blouse or a non-sports top.

What should men wear it with?

Solid colored velor suits are in fashion. They are complemented with shirts that are several tones lighter than the jacket. A shirt with vertical stripes wouldn't be out of place either. Let one of its lines be in the same color niche as the shade of the suit, and the second be light or pastel. The finishing touch is a tie and pocket square.

Important! If you're not afraid to experiment, wear a bright, plain velor suit with a turtleneck. Avoid white colored badlon. Opt for a model with a catchy tone.

Another option for the ensemble: dark trousers or jeans, a light shirt or T-shirt, a jacket. It can be several shades darker than the bottom or act as a bright spot.
