What was once relegated to wintertime soirées and after-hours occasions, velvet isn’t the nocturnal fashion staple that it once was. In fact, consider 2017 the year that velvet jumps from boudoirs and party dresses into your everyday rotation. After all, we’ve got velvet boots, dresses, and more for you to wear no matter what’s on your schedule. Don’t want to go all-out fuzzy? These skirts are a more subtle way to add the seasonal staple into your wardrobe. Paired with your go-to tops (T-shirts, button-downs, even extra-femme blouses), you’ll channel a bit of sex, a lot of style, and stay plenty warm, too. And because it probably won’t ever shed its playful nature, these velvet picks are just the thing to wear when you’ve got some after-work plans. No changing necessary, just get up and go, because while we’re all for wearing these to the office, they’re undeniably party-ready.
