When can you start wearing velvet?

Velvet, velveteen or velour can be worn as soon as the temperature drops to a point at which the fabric is comfortable. The first signs of cool weather typically appear in autumn, and velvet is a commonly worn material in autumn months.

Velvet is an appropriate fabric during autumn and winter months for day or evening, though not favorable for warmer temperatures in spring and summer. Velvet fabrics pair well with denim, leather, lace and other luxe fabrics such as silk and cashmere. Wearing velvet with staple pieces like jeans or a leather jacket can add a touch of dressiness and appeal to daily outfits.
