What to wear with a velvet dress

Velvet dresses are experiencing a second period of unprecedented popularity. This trend has already conquered women around the world in the 80s of the last century. But if earlier velvet was considered a luxury, accessible only to a few, today every fashionista can afford this material. Velvet dresses are no longer considered clothes for grand occasions; they are now becoming an integral part of the everyday wardrobe.

Velvet dress, secrets of combinations

Velvet dresses have long been considered not only luxurious, but also practical material.

Features of the material

Like any other material, velvet has its own characteristics. If you know them and apply them correctly, you can get a surprisingly chic outfit. At the same time, if you do not take them into account, it is quite easy to spoil the material.

Characteristics:

  1. The most suitable colors for velvet are deep shades of red and blue.
  2. For everyday wear, you need to choose the right accessories so that the outfit does not look out of place.
  3. This material emphasizes all the features of the figure, so girls who want to hide imperfections need to wear dresses with velvet inserts.
  4. Despite this, ladies who dream of visually adding volume to their breasts can afford velvet in all varieties.

IMPORTANT! Velvet wears out over time, causing bald spots to form on elbows and knees. To avoid this, careful hand washing is necessary.

Fashion trends by styles and colors

Probably the most important aspect in choosing a dress is its length. With its help, you can both emphasize the advantages of the figure and flaunt the shortcomings.
