Wearing a blazer can often make you look smarter and more professional. Another side benefit is that it can make you look leaner. So, if you can dress business casual in your workplace, wear a blazer to work is almost always a good idea, regardless of what you are wearing with it. Having said that, things can get a little boring if you repeat the same thing five times a week. Just like work, if you find yourself repeat the same thing too many times and feel bored, you put a little twist here and there to make stuff more fun. For the case of the blazer, you can do that by switching colors or trying different fabrics. In this blog post, I am going to explore the latter idea. To be more specific, I am going to talk about how to wear the velvet blazer. Let’s check out some of the best outfit ideas I have put together for you now.
Blue Velvet Blazer & Pants
One of the simplest way to style a velvet blazer is to actually buy a velvet suit, so you don’t have to think about what to wear for the bottom. As an example, wear a blue velvet suit with a white button up shirt and black oxford shoes.
Burgundy Velvet Blazer with Black Sweater & Jeans
For a mature and feminine look, you may want to consider this beautiful outfit. For the top, wear a black sweater with a burgundy velvet blazer. Pair them with black skinny jeans and pointed toe leather ankle boots. A black knit scarf will help glue together all the pieces perfectly.
Black Velvet Blazer with All Black Outfit
One interesting about wearing a black velvet blazer is that it can add an extra dimension to an all-black outfit, instead of just making the outfit a muddy piece of black clothes. As an example, wear the black velvet blazer with a black sweater, black skinny jeans and leather ankle boots. To add just a little bit of color, you can wear a light grey linen scarf without ruining the overall black and deep theme.
Black Blazer with White Turtleneck Form Fitting Top & Jeans
As a smart causal outfit, you can wear a black velvet blazer with a white turtleneck form-fitting top. Complete the outfit with ripped skinny jeans and black ballet heels.
Wear with White Tee & Black Skinny Jeans
If you are a fan of blazers, you should already know that when you wear a blazer with a street outfit of t shirt and jeans, you can often have that silicon valley smart-without-trying look. Of course, under the surface, everyone actually tries so hard to be able to achieve anything. Anyway, this outfit consists of a white t shirt, black skinny jeans and white sneakers. Up to this point, the outfit looks okay but nothing interesting. Wearing a black velvet blazer can immediately upgrade it to a whole new level.
Two-piece Set of Red Velvet Blazer & Skirt
Here is another outfit idea that involves a two-piece velvet set, but this time it is a skirt instead of the pants. You can simply wear the red blazer and skirt with a black blouse. For the shoes, I would suggest not to wear the red shoes or the black shoes. That would have looked too tidy and awkwardly well balanced. I would recommend instead a pair of nude heels.
Burgundy Blazer with Grey Print Tee & Skinny Jeans
As shown in an earlier idea, wear a blazer with a casual street outfit almost always works. In this case, the burgundy blazer looks pretty nice when put together with a funky grey print tee, skinny jeans and white sneakers.
Long Purple Velvet Blazer with Denim Boyfriend Shirt
In the previous ideas, most of the blazers I have covered are the typical short and slim fit ones that can make you look smart and lean. If you are already skinny, though, you can try this outfit idea. I am not saying the other outfits are not suitable to you. I am just saying that this particular idea won’t help you look slimmer. Anyway, back to this outfit, simply wear a denim boyfriend shirt with an oversized purple velvet blazer for the top. Pair these pieces with black leather leggings and white sneakers.
Wear with Black Tank Top & Ripped Jeans
Here is a very casual way to style a burgundy velvet blazer. Wear it with a black tank top and ripped, cuffed jeans. For the shoes, wear open-toe ankle boots. If you are interested with similar shoes, you may want to go check out our blog post on open toe boots.
Wear Black Blazer with White Shirt & Grey Chinos
To wear a velvet blazer as a business outfit isn’t that difficult. For example, you can wear a black velvet blazer with a white shirt, grey chinos and black heels. As an alternative, you can wear a grey pencil skirt instead of the chinos.
Black Velvet Blazer with Felt Hat
This outfit idea is an artistic and refreshing way to style a black velvet blazer. Wear it with a denim shirt for the top. For the bottom, wear cuffed boyfriend jeans with black studded loafers. Add the final artistic touch by wearing a black felt hat. By the way, we also have a blog post on black felt hat outfit ideas that you may want to take a look at.
Wear with Grey Print Tee & Cuffed Jeans
This is an outfit idea to show you that a black velvet outfit matches well with a grey print tee, jeans and low top converse.
Wear with White Print Tee & Skinny Jeans
Similar to the previous idea, though the outfit looks much more elegant when the converse is replaced by short leather boots.
Shocking Pink Velvet Blazer with Leather Leggings
This is a really eye catching outfit. The concept is to wear a shocking pink velvet blazer with an all-black outfit, which is consists of a black sweater, leather leggings and ankle boots.
Wear with Pink Blouse & Burgundy Leather Shorts
This is such an interesting color combination of pink and burgundy that I didn’t know it would work until I actually see it. For the top, wear a pink blouse with a burgundy velvet blazer. Complete the chic outfit with burgundy leather shorts with pink heels.
I hope that you enjoy the velvet blazer outfit ideas I have just shared. These beautiful blazers are simply blazers with an interesting twist. Go ahead and give them a try. It is surprising easy to pull them off.
