How to Style Velvet Trousers

When it comes to velvet trousers, there are a few different shapes to choose from. The Taylor style is a wide leg and looser fitting trouser, which works particularly well for those who are taller and looking for an elegant, statement look. Pair these trousers with a velvet blazer for a coordinated, sophisticated ensemble.

The Tatum style, on the other hand, is tapered and perfect for petite styling. They're an easy day-to-day velvet trouser option that can be paired with a simple blouse or sweater for a casual yet chic outfit.

Finally, the New Toni style is a wide leg trouser with piping detail down the outside leg, adding a touch of uniqueness and interest to your outfit. These trousers can be paired with a velvet blazer or waistcoat, or even worn on their own for a more casual look. No matter which velvet trouser style you choose, be sure to care for your velvet suit properly. Always check the label for cleaning instructions and consider investing in a velvet brush to keep your trousers looking their best. With these tips in mind, you're sure to create a stylish, sophisticated look with your velvet suit this winter.

Tips on Caring for your Velvet Suit

When it comes to velvet, considerate care is essential for maintaining its luxurious appearance. Here are some tips on how to look after velvet and keep your velvet suit in pristine condition.

Firstly, it's important to note that all our velvet styles are dry clean only. We would recommend taking your velvet suit to local reputable dry cleaners rather than attempting to clean it at home. Velvet is non-iron, which means you don't have to worry about ironing it after every wear. However, you should store your velvet suit hung up to avoid creases. Avoid using clip hangers, as they can leave marks on the velvet. If you must use clip hangers, add a small piece of fabric or cloth between the clip and the trouser to protect the velvet.

When it comes to storing your velvet suit, be sure to keep it away from direct sunlight, as this can cause the colours to fade over time. You may also want to consider using a garment bag to protect your suit from dust and moisture.
