Can I wear black velvet in February or is it just for the holidays?

           

       

Yes, you can wear velvet in February. At one time clothing made with velvet was for winter and formal occasions. In today's modern world there are not too many hard and fast rules about fashion. Velvet is a favorite for dressy occasions but you can mix velvet with fabrics like leather and denim for a more casual look. Try a leather bomber jacket over a velvet skirt or pants or a velvet jacket with denim pants or skirt.. If the weather is cool in July (summer in San Francisco)  you can wear a velvet jacket to keep warm. Never wear head to toe velvet.
