Typically, velvet has always been associated with sartorial eveningwear but that's changing. For casual looks, velvet jackets offer a refined edge without feeling overly formal. Pairing a velvet blazer with dark jeans or tailored chinos, for instance, strikes a balance between relaxed and polished that’s perfect for dinners, parties, or gatherings. But the velvet suit takes on a totally different character to the classic suit, striking a much more playful tone. Velvet’s texture adds visual interest without needing loud patterns or accessories, allowing it to make a statement all on its own.
It's practical for this time of year, too. The fabric is naturally insulating, and has a durability that helps maintain its structure, making it a long-lasting addition to a wardrobe if properly cared for. But above all, it’s a style statement that speaks to confidence and character. For those looking to make an impression at holiday parties, velvet suiting offers the perfect blend of class and comfort, proving once again that some fabrics never go out of style. Velvet is this party season’s power move.
Another fantastic fabric to utilise is corduroy. While it has had a bad rap for being boring in decades past, it has climbed the ranks to become one of the most exciting fabrics today. Those ridges or 'wales' lend the cotton cloth a beautifully textural finish, and the undulating surface reflects light in a really unique way, making it a sexy cloth in dim lighting. We've created a double-breasted corduroy suit in a couple of different dark tones this season, both of which make for compelling party kit when you want to make a statement without shouting about it.
