Introduced by Coco Chanel, and made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the LBD has become a classic wardrobe staple, but sometimes it’s fun to put a twist on a classic. The velvet material creates a modern take on the little black dress that is perfect for chilly winter months. The luxe look of velvet translates into a chic and effortless dress that is very on trend and more modern that a classic material.
With new year’s eve coming up, a modern take on the little black dress is a must! While some people are into sparkles and glitter, black will never go out of style. Change up your everyday black with a velvet number that is sure to wow the crowd. Best of all, you can find velvet dresses in almost any clothing store in a variety of styles and prices.
The dress I’m wearing is actually from target! I love this long sleeved style because it keeps me cozy and warm without sacrificing on appearance. It’s also a great option for post-holiday food comas, as it is a swing style that just hugs your upper body and skims down in an A line shape.
Here are some of my other favorite velvet dress options:
Eliza J Velvet Cutout Sheath Dress – $88.90
Bardot Raven Velvet Slipdress – $99.00
When you’re trying to figure out what to wear, remember that you can never go wrong with black, and opt for a modern take on the little black dress. Test out velvet for a trendy and flattering party option!
Happy shopping!
