The holidays might feel like a distant dream, but here’s a reality check: there are only seven Mondays left until Christmas and soon your social calendar will be filled with office parties and friend gatherings. Maybe even a wild New Year’s Eve bash if you haven’t already resigned yourself to watching the ball drop from your house.
Do you really want to deal with the last-minute realization you have nothing to wear—on top of your ever-growing gift checklist? I didn’t think so.
The good news? You can’t go wrong with a velvet outfit, whether you’re dressing to the nines for a festive Thanksgiving dinner or just planning a December date night.
And while a good mini dress is always the moment (and we found a few styles that will score you best-dressed party guest), there are so many ways to wear the seasonal trend.
Try a pair of sleek velvet pants or toss on a blazer for a tailored look. This could even be your chance to embrace the micro mini shorts trend, perhaps with sparkly tights underneath.
The options are endless. Keep scrolling to shop our favorite velvet styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Revolve—starting at just $34.
