Mmm…velvet…Few fabrics are more sumptuous than velvet. Being both luxurious and affordable, it’s a great choice for coats. And, contrary to common thought, it isn’t just for night and it doesn’t just come in black. Here are three of my favorite velvet coats of the season.
Boden
You’ll be anything but a wallflower in this wallpaper inspired coat. Pair it with a black suit for business or wear it over jeans to stand out at night.
Soft Surroundings
This begs for big chandelier earrings and haughty eyebrows. Wear it with flats and pretend you’re a maharani. Or wear it with high heeled boots for Madison Avenue style.
Newport News
If Cruella DeVil set the color scheme and the Queen of Hearts called the design details, this is what their coat would be. I’m sure there’s a bit of their attitude in the pockets, should you need it.
