The Velvet Top Trend

I was a little slow to jump into the velvet trend. Something about being a 90’s child and feeling like my mom was dressing me up for a holiday party had me scratching my head how I’d make this trend feel like mine without feeling like a child. I was loving it on other people. But, I didn’t dive head first in until one day I was searching for peplum tops (my favorite silhouette) on Amazon and this beauty popped up in my feed and rethink everything.

Velvet Top

I was in love with the crushed velvet that looks a little more edgy with a little softer fabric, the mauve color that I knew would do my skin a few favors, the keyhole details to add even more interest to the peplum, and did I mention the price? $15 had me pretty ready to dive in and give it a try!

Velvet Top Outfit

Since the top is a statement piece in itself, I decided it was best to style it with a few minimal accessories like dainty earrings and a simple gold cuff bracelet. Also, I really wanted this top to work for more than just a formal date night. First of all, I figured a few edgy pieces would probably do the trick as I figured out how to style a velvet top for even the most casual of dates.

My favorite AG jeans (that fit amazing and have been worth every penny!) with distressing plus some black booties and a black leather watch did just the trick! Now that the nights are cooler I may even grab a leather jacket to add on top, and I think I’d still feel ready for the movies or a nice dinner.How to style a velvet top: This velvet peplum top is the perfect date night outfit statement piece this fall, and easy to dress up or dress down

Hooray for getting over my childhood ideals that this is only a holiday party fabric! Also for finding a shirt that made me a velvet trend convert! Consequently, I’m now fully on board the velvet top trend!

  1. Love that top! I have leggings that are the same color/material, and I was so excited to find them but they are tooooo big. I liked them so much I bought them anyway but of course now I don’t wear them because duh they are too big! Whoops

      Oh leggings would be so fun- and comfy! Maybe enough washes will shrink them 😉
