Get a Little Fancy With These 12 Pairs of Velvet Pants

While you’d normally see velvet around the holidays, velvet pants can be worn long after your Christmas tree comes down (and long before, too). The best velvet pants add a luxurious touch to any outfit, even if you're just hanging around the house. The plush fabric has a richness that looks perfect for a party or date night, but it's also soft and comfy. In many ways, velvet pants are like a bridge between Ree Drummond's beloved pandemic pants (aka black, warm leggings) and your favorite pair of jeans...which makes them excellent WFH attire!

Best of all, velvet pants come in way more styles, fits, and even textures (hello, crushed velvet) than you might imagine. Love a trendy look? Try velvet leggings. Fancy yourself more bohemian? Consider a wide-leg pair. Need something office-ready? Go for tailored velvet trousers. And if you're somewhere in between, try a skinny-leg pair inspired by a great pair of jeans. As polarizing as velvet may seem, there really is a pair of velvet pants for every style.

Once you find your best fit, pair your pants with a simple top to keep the attention where it belongs. It's also worth mentioning that velvet pants would look great with a cute suede jacket (all that texture!) and a pair of comfortable ankle boots.
