Velvet for women – a luxurious fabric with character
Velvet is one of the most expressive fabrics in fashion. Its dense, finely woven structure creates a soft pile that reflects light in a unique way and gives the fabric its unmistakable sheen. This play of shine and depth has made velvet a symbol of elegance and exclusivity for centuries. Originally made of silk, today velvet is mainly produced from blends with elastane, combining a soft touch, subtle shine and comfortable wear. There are various types such as smooth velour, embossed velvet or elastic stretch velvet – each enabling different looks. At MADELEINE you will also find modern interpretations such as crash velvet.
Velvet outfits for different occasions
A velvet dress is perfect for evening events or festive occasions. Velvet blazers are versatile – styled with simple basics they create relaxed daytime looks, while with matching trousers they become a striking velvet suit for special evenings. Velvet trousers also add a refined touch while remaining easy to wear.
How to style velvet?
Velvet can be styled for many occasions, thanks to its unique texture that conveys elegance and exclusivity.
Festive: Velvet shows its full effect when combined with luxurious fabrics such as silk, lace, satin or chiffon.
Everyday: Contrasts with denim, leather or cotton give velvet blazers or trousers a casual twist. Sneakers or a crossbody bag add a modern touch.
Business: A velvet blazer paired with plain trousers works in the office too. Velvet trousers with a silk blouse or cashmere knit create a contemporary look.
It is important to play with intensity: a full velvet suit makes a statement, while single pieces like a blazer or skirt can be styled casually or trend-focused. Structured or patterned velvet adds depth and modern flair.
