What could be more comforting than a good pair of pants to face the cool days ahead? After making a comeback in our wardrobes for several seasons, velvet , a timeless wardrobe classic , has established itself as THE winter pants .
If you haven't yet fallen for velvet, you'll find in this article five good reasons to change your mind. We've also put together four LePantalon velvet looks to inspire you throughout the seasons.
Why choose velvet?
1. A unique appearance
Velvet is distinguished above all by its appearance: whether velvety, textured, or smooth depending on the model, this is the most remarkable characteristic of this material. Creating a unique aesthetic, it undeniably stands out from other types of pants.
2. A warm material
When temperatures drop, velvet is the perfect choice. Its comforting texture and dense weave allow it to retain heat, protecting you from the cold. It creates an insulating barrier to keep your legs warm all day long.
3. Unparalleled comfort
Choosing velvet also means choosing the ultimate in comfort. Wearing velvet pants will give you a feeling similar to floating on a cloud. Its plush texture gently envelops your legs, providing an unparalleled feeling of softness. Velvet promises a day full of comfort, whether you're at work, at home, or out and about.
4. Sustainability
The dense, durable fabric of velvet pants stands up remarkably to daily wear and tear. Investing in quality velvet pants means you're choosing a piece that will last through the seasons without losing its appeal. However, to maintain this durability, it's essential to take care of your pants, so pay close attention to the ironing and washing instructions for your velvet.
5. Adaptability
Velvet is, above all, a versatile material. It can be reworked in many ways to align with different styles. Whether you're looking for a vintage, casual, or more dressy look, you're sure to find the velvet that suits your taste. It can also be worn for all kinds of occasions: evenings, work, relaxing moments... It's a true fashion chameleon, capable of adapting to all styles.
How to wear velvet pants?
Look 1: Velvet and seaside
For this first look, we're heading to the coast. We've got bottle green corduroy pants paired with a plain white T-shirt and a beige sleeveless knit sweater. A pair of white shoes on your feet for a sportswear look and you're done. A look that's both fitted and modern while remaining casual—nothing better to show off your figure.
Look 2: Velvet in mid-season
Bronze corduroy pants are the perfect color for fall. Paired with a striped sweater, a navy blue work jacket, and a pair of brown suede derbies, you get an outfit that's both workwear and elegant, ideal for mid-season.
Look 3: Velvet, all in color
Velvet paired with colorful clothing is also possible! Here, our khaki velvet 5-pocket pants are paired with a soft sky blue tee, contrasted by the bright orange of the overshirt. For shoes, a pair of black Converse adds the necessary touch of understatement for a balanced outfit.
Look 4: velvet and shades of blue
For this final suggestion, let's explore an all-blue outfit. Let's start with the Navy Blue 5-Pocket Velvet Pants , a timeless choice. Pair with a sky blue tee and denim jacket for a light and stylish layered effect. The play of shades of blue is key here, allowing you to experiment with a monochrome look while avoiding any faux pas. To add a little contrast, a pair of white Converse adds a bright touch to the ensemble.
PS: Don't forget the accessories in your outfits, they are often what make the difference: belt, hat, cap, bag (treat yourself!)
