How to wear a velvet suit

Wear the jacket buttoned with nothing underneath, a lace bodysuit, and a silk camisole. Keep the shoe sleek: a pointed pump, a slim boot. Jewel tones like emerald and burgundy work best at night; chocolate and black are the colours you will wear in the day as separates. For a black tie version, see cocktail attire for women.

Frequently asked questions

Are velvet suits in style for 2026?

Yes. Jewel tone velvet tailoring is one of the strongest party looks of the season, led by suits like the LaQuan Smith emerald pinstripe velvet.

What do you wear under a velvet suit?

A lace bodysuit, a silk camisole, a fine knit, nothing at all with the jacket buttoned.

What shoes go with a velvet suit?

A pointed pump, a slim heeled boot and a satin mule all work. Avoid chunky soles.

Can you wear a velvet suit to a wedding?

Yes, for an autumn and winter wedding. Choose chocolate, emerald and navy over black.

How do you care for velvet?

Dry clean, steam rather than press, and hang on a padded hanger so the pile is never crushed.
