Velour, Velvet

I think a black velvet or velour blazer would be a classic look and would never go out of style!

Maybe these fabrics are not the trend. I happen to like them but it seems that they are 'not the thing' anymore. Kind of like horse and buggy days. I think a black velvet/velour jacket or blazer is nice to wear. Guess I was raised to think differently.

Live freely. Being on trend (which is like following a carrot on a stick) doesn't make for the pretty smile one has when they are happy with their own choices for their own life.

When we spent the winters where it gets cold I considered a velvet blazer and a black velvet skirt to be a necessity. They could take you to any and all events. I agree with the poster who said they are a classic that never goes out of style.

I've never been a fan. Even if it comes back in style, I'm staying with what I have.

Thanks for the posts. I may be old fashioned in my like of certain styles but I like what I like.

Wear what you want.

If I like something, I wear it!

I like velour -- soft, easy-care, easy-wear, adaptable for casual or dressy. I don't care if velour is "on trend" or not; it's comfortable, versatile, and very wearable; I have some nice velour pieces, and I will wear them this fall and winter.

I hate old-fashioned velvet -- stiff, primly tailored, non-stretchy, has to be dry-cleaned, easily ruined if you damage the nap. Not for me.
