Velvet: how to wear it this winter?

At LEITA Paris, we have a passion for velvet. It's the perfect combination of chic and comfort. There are a multitude of ways to mix it with your wardrobe. Whether as a jacket, long skirt, shirt or trousers, this luxurious fabric comes in countless styles. Discover our selection of looks to show you how to wear velvet. From total looks to subtle touches, these ideas will help you adopt this winter essential with confidence and creativity.

The velvet total look: elegance and luxury in the spotlight

One of our favourite looks is the velvet total look, which stands out for its elegance. Chic and luxurious, it comes in refined suits, bold total look and majestic long skirts. Velvet silhouettes offer a sophisticated and confident look, while playing on textures to give character, depth and comfort to your outfit. Colours like black and burgundy are timeless and can be worn for any occasion. But you can also experiment with bolder shades, such as ochre, for a touch of originality.

Touches of velvet: for a casual yet sophisticated style

For those more reluctant to adopt a total look, velvet also comes in subtle, elegant touches. A velvet jacket, for example, instantly adds a touch of chic to basic jeans, creating a casual, on-trend look. A pair of flowing velvet trousers, meanwhile, works wonderfully with a cashmere jumper and a pair of heels for a chic look, or with trainers for a cosy feel. Thanks to its irresistible versatility, velvet is this season's must-have fabric.

Velvet reinvented: beyond the boundaries of the genre

The resurgence of velvet underlines the evolution of fashion codes and the blurring of gender boundaries. Long associated with men's jackets and formal suits, velvet is now being adopted by women's style icons. By playing with tailoring, women are adding a sensual touch that redefines velvet as a chic, contemporary statement piece.

Next-gen velvet: a dash between responsibility and creativity


At LEITA Paris, we chose to honour velvet in our capsule, la fuga venezina, by choosing a rich, dense and textured fabric with an impeccable fit. True to our commitment to responsible fashion, we selected a 100% recycled velvet, made from existing materials, with no additional fibre production. We chose two shades to enhance this fabric: a deep, timeless and elegant black, and a glow garnet printed with a unique organic pattern, hand-drawn by Chloé. An elegant way to combine creativity and responsibility.

We trust you to create creative looks. And if you like, share them with us by email or on Instagram using #leitaparis.
