Velvet Underground

The velvet blazer- chic is, as chic does.
Not so long ago, the velvet jacket was actually something of a cult item; wearing one made you feel part of a small club who understood its louche appeal.
Yes, in some circles, it may have fallen a bit from grace,
thanks to the like of D- listers
such as Hasselhoff, Rourke and Caruso.
Then, suddenly this spring, signs of recovery: a beautiful dark blue number on the Gucci runway; a whole shoot dedicated to the look in British GQ...
For some of us, of course, it has always been a fall /winter
staple, navy, burgundy, black.
White shirt, ascot, cashmere scarf- always welcome company.
 Now, once again it has returned to it's rightful place-
as the perfect go to-
dinner, party or red carpet must have-...for all.
