Velvety Smoothby Steven Carver

Known to be one of the most luxurious fabrics produced, velvet is a perfect material for winter clothing because it’s both lush and plush.

During the colder months, nothing looks better than a velvet jacket or coat. Short or long, a velvet topper can be dressed up with a dress pant and patent shoe, or dressed down with a crisp dress shirt and a pair of sporty shoes. It depends on the event.

Whether the colour is light or dark, make sure it’s well preserved and cleaned after each outing. To raise the pile, brush with a soft-bristle brush – the fabric will last longer, and the topper will be worn for years to come.
