I've practically lived in my velvet blazer since the beginning of December, and you can bet that I'm wearing it well into the New Year. And for a lesson on how to style your velvet jacket into late winter, an ivory silk shirt, tailored trousers, and black stiletto heels should do the trick.
From pairing it with flared trousers and sparkly earrings for my Christmas party to chucking it over a warm cashmere cardigan for trips to the shops, my velvet jacket hasn't caught a break during the festive period. However, when it comes to original ways to style it, I'm all ears, and this archival outfit from Kate Moss offers the perfect way to elevate my favourite piece of outerwear. A black velvet blazer is a winter capsule wardrobe must-have, and here's exactly how to style it.
Captured in Paris in 2019 Moss wore a velvet jacket layered over an ivory silk blouse tucked into high waisted ankle length black trousers and black stiletto heels. She also carries a small black clutch bag which features a black tassel. What I love most about this look is that it's easy to recreate, and it looks effortlessly chic yet luxurious.
