"velvet dress"

Set a soft, sophisticated tone at your next event with a designer velvet dress. From sleek shifts to flirty skater styles, velvet dresses turn heads wherever you go. Look for lace details or cutout shoulders from Betsey Johnson or Soloiste to set yourself apart from the crowd, or emphasize opulent appeal with a timeless slip dress and a dramatic statement necklace. Pair your velvet gown or cocktail dress with a single strand of pearls or a statement bag to keep the focus on the fabric, or go all-out with beautiful bling that turns your velvet shift into a festive celebration of style. A short velvet dress with a loose A-line skirt from Lafayette 148 New York or Cupio sets a fun, flirty tone when paired with strappy sky-high heels, while a long velvet dress in sleek minimalist style makes a modern statement for an art gallery exhibit opening or a night at the theater.

Elegant yet touchable, velvet dresses from Adrianna Papell or Keepsake invite attention. Go with classic black velvet when you want to make a dramatic first impression, or choose a streamlined velvet dress in a lighter hue for easy wear during any season. Patterned velvet combines texture and flair for an effortlessly party-worthy look. Make a point of stocking your closet with an array of velvet and lace dresses to make luxe texture part of your overall personal style. Add a sweater dress or two to your collection to handle more casual occasions. Whether you’re heading to a formal event or hosting an intimate dinner, a designer velvet dress infuses elegance into any occasion.
