Though the combination of luxury and coziness isn’t one you typically find, it’s always present when velvet is involved. And during the colder months, when we simply want to feel warm and fuzzy all the dang time, our outfits should make it easy. It really isn’t much to ask from wintry clothes—but when it comes to formalwear, you might as well forget it. Plus-size velvet skirts, on the other hand? Now there’s a look we can get behind.
In addition to creating a luxe holiday vibe, this trend practically feels like wearing pajamas. (!) And honestly, that’s all we could ever want in an ensemble. Yes, sequin-covered gowns and chic cocktail dresses are wonderful, gorgeous options, but they don’t give us the coziness we crave. When you slip on a velvet skirt, though, you’re instantly transported to a fireside armchair, glass of wine in-hand. (Not literally, of course, but it will certainly feel like it.)
So whether you’re dressing to impress at a swanky holiday party or have been aimlessly searching for the perfect NYE dress, plus-size velvet skirts are a must-have for the season. And whether you’re into classic midi skirts, flirty minis, or sexy maxi skirts, there’s a velvet iteration calling your name. There’s a reason velvet is the fabric of the season—and we’re using any excuse to wear it. Your holiday plans have never looked more luxurious.
