Velvet

   Velvet is a hot item for this fall/winter season. Its tricky but if pull off correct you can look elegant and dapper. Many people tend to stay away from such fabrics because it may look a bit cheap or just a hassle to clean. But trust me if you do it right its worth the awkward question "what fabric is that?" (jaja)
   The guy equivalence to sparkles and sequence dresses for girls. We have been seeing it on the runways and on red carpets (only the brave men) pulling it off. Top colors include black, brown, blue and red. You don't want to over power your self with such fabric so start off with maybe a blazer. Not to much of anything since the fabric is the eye catcher. Simple black trousers or dark jeans will do. A simple white or black shirt. Ties and bow-ties may over do it but depends on the occasion as swell, so measure it out.
   In my experience I can tell you that it is not the best fabric to be taken pictures with. Velvet seams to be shiny with lights so it reflects weird in to pictures. I personally own a dark brown blazer and I always try to keep it basic, paired with a black scarf to tone it down. 
   They do tend to be a bit pricey but places like Target and Kohl's have had collection with velvet items. But always remember to dry-clean.
