Nothing captures the holiday spirit quite like a beautiful velvet outfit. The soft material is cozy enough to wear while curled up on the couch but appropriately festive for any holiday gathering. And as we close out a bizarre and disruptive year, this plush fabric feels more satisfying than ever. At the close of 2020, there’s still not a single fabulous soiree in our sights, even as New Year’s Eve approaches, but that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace fashion and dress to impress, even if it’s just ourselves we’re inspiring. 

Speaking of inspiring, my last true, pre-pandemic fashion experience happened to be Tom Ford’s fall 2020 show in Los Angeles on February 7th. Velvet outfits played a starring role on the designer’s runway and, as of late, I’ve found myself yearning for the day that I can wear any number of those luxe looks, including Ford’s rich emerald green blazer or royal purple duster. The show may have been a part of the industry’s so-called lost season,” in which retail orders, production timelines, show schedules, and design calendars were completely disrupted by the spread of the virus, but still, my love for the collection remains. 

So while most of us have fewer and smaller holiday events to attend this year (or let’s be honest, no events at all), I’m taking advantage of the season to revisit velvet, one of my very favorite fabrics, in all forms, whether it comes in the form of a pair of comfy embellished mules or a pretty party dress. No matter if you’re staying home with a bottle of wine, counting down to midnight on FaceTime, or toasting 2021 with a small group of friends, an irresistible velvet outfit feels like the obvious stand-out sartorial choice for a holiday season that’s been anything but ordinary.

Here, discover 29 velvet outfits that are unfussy and undeniably smart.

HonkMagazine

Lizzo is again serving looks and unapologetic confidence, taking to Instagram to show off her stunning weight loss in a bold and fashionable style. Rocking a short plaid skirt, a sleek black top, and fishnet tights, the chart-topping singer gave fans a glimpse of her glowing confidence and evolving fashion sense. But it wasn’t just the outfit that had people talking, it was Lizzo’s witty caption that added her signature flair. “Devour feculence,” she wrote, cheekily referencing a standout moment from Severance, the mind-bending series that has clearly left an impression on the star.

Fans flooded the comments with praise, celebrating her radiant appearance and her love for pop culture. “Love that reference! You look great!” one user raved, while another chimed in with admiration, “You look absolutely amazing, Lizzo.” But the self-love queen wasn’t done yet. In true Lizzo fashion, she kept the energy going with another playful post. This time, she rocked a black t-shirt and matching underwear, embracing her curves and flashing a confident smile. With humor at the forefront, she captioned the shot, “Me, myself & all my memes: (I still haven’t seen the season finale of Severance).”

The lighthearted self-roast resonated with her followers, many of whom praised her for celebrating both her body and her interests. Lizzo’s openness has always been a core part of her brand. From advocating for body positivity to promoting mental well-being, the “Good as Hell” singer continuously inspires fans to embrace themselves fully. Her recent posts are a reflection of that journey, one where self-love and joy are celebrated without reservation. And while some may be eager to dissect her weight loss, Lizzo’s focus remains on her happiness and self-expression.

Sneaker culture is all about exclusivity, and sometimes, a truly special pair comes along that gets everyone excited. One such sneaker is the Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample, a unique blend of basketball history and baseball style. With its striking look and connections to two famous sports worlds, this rare sneaker has just hit the resale market, and collectors are eager to get their hands on it. Originally created for basketball star Penny Hardaway, the Foamposite One became a staple of ’90s sneaker fashion. Its innovative design was groundbreaking at the time.

However, this special Yankees-themed version takes it a step further. It features a deep navy blue and bright white color scheme, resembling the classic pinstripes of the New York Yankees, one of the most celebrated teams in baseball. The unique wave design that runs across the upper part makes this sneaker stand out, giving it a dynamic look and feel. Unlike the regular versions sold in stores, this sample was never mass-produced, which adds to its appeal among collectors and passionate Yankees fans. Currently listed on Index PDX in size 9 for an impressive $3,500, the price reflects how rare it is.

However, what really matters is the story behind it. From basketball courts to everyday life, the Foamposite One has always been a symbol of performance and fashion. This Yankees edition connects two sports that have captured the hearts of fans for generations. For those lucky enough to own this sneaker, it’s a statement piece. It showcases Nike’s dedication to exploring and celebrating sports culture. Whether proudly displayed or worn to show off hometown pride, the Yankees Foamposite One serves as a reminder of the unforgettable moments shared between basketball and baseball.
