Are velvet bootlegs a good buy for winter parties or just old hat?

[IwoulddoDrWho]

And what to wear with??

Velvet trousers not generally a good look in my opinion - can add bulk and also not terribly fashionable.

Velvet jacket better with jeans (dark smartishe ones).

no no no - just awful, sorry.

I thought you might say this.

Yes agree, definately not a good look. As traceybath says, velvet super-fitted jacket much better idea.

Sorry but velvet trousers sound very bad.

didn't mean to say it twice though

velvet trousers are a no no

absolutely not. And especially not with an old hat!!

sequinned leggings absolutely essential for this A/W, however.

This has reminded me I have a black velvet jacket. Is that a no no or can I wear it with blue jeans?

depends on colour and style of the jeans ... would be better with sequinned leggings...

And the lapels of the jacket.

No way do I have the figure for leggings.

Jeans are blue and bootcut.

oh, g'wan. G'wan. You know you can pull it off

I had a fantastic velvet jacket which I bought from a charity shop for a pittance when I was about 17. It was beautifully made and in fantastic condition (I doubt it had ever been worn by the previous owner). I loved it but somehow it got lost in our last house move (3.5yrs ago). Ho hum.

i bet they could look fab....some great sheer top ,heels...

need a link to a jacket in a similar style/ shape to your velvet one, please

Just seen the price of those leggings! It's not like you could wear them everyday or that they would last terribly well.

they look appalling on mere mortals.

i love those leggings
if i were under 40 i would
notice medium has sold out and imo only small or below would look good

Thanks for the sequins LTEC but possibly not for me. I accept the rebuke on the velvet trousers but cannot go out in those! Is it still just jeans then?

Dare I suggest straight leg velvet trousers? Such as these?

Sorry guys but Boden also have a velvet jacket here
