Velvet Pantsuits

Why do you need to buy a velvet pantsuit? Because it works everywhere, from holiday parties to offices! Pick a tone that you like: red, burgundy, navy, black or dark green, and a look that is up-to-date: with an oversized blazer, accented shoulders or wide leg pants. Wear it with a lace or embellished top or with no top at all accenting the neckline with a lariat necklace. After the holiday season you may wear the pants and the blazer separately, with jeans or trousers and with some other bottom. Wear your suit with boots or shoes with pointed toes and add glam accessories.
