Velvet has been a staple of the holiday season for a long time, but in 2021, this soft, luxurious fabric seems to become more popular — and it has staying power throughout the year.

This is especially obvious when you see the man on the red carpet. Celebrities like Jason Sudeikis, Jake Gyllenhaal and Rege-Jean Page are just a few of the many celebrities who wore velvet suits in public this year. The stage of the award ceremony is also more and more fond of this material, the performance costumes of Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak (also known as Silk Sonic).

And they don't just wear pure black velvet. We have seen rich hues such as burgundy and dark blue at the American Music Awards, as well as printed suits like Anthony Ramos.

Velvet is a tightly woven tufted fabric with short and thick piles, creating a soft and luxurious texture. Although some of us associate velvet with Tudor court life, it is believed that this material originated in ancient Egypt, China, and the Middle East. As we transition from the popular era of comfortable dressing to taller wardrobes, it makes sense that this material will become the popular choice today. If you have to wear a suit again, at least make it soft to the touch.

There are many ways to style your velvet suit. In terms of footwear, you can wear traditional dress shoes and socks, or low-key loafers and bare ankles.

Under the jacket, you can wear formal buttons and pair it with a square scarf, vest and bow tie-or you can keep it casual and not wear a tie. Consider a more relaxed look, such as a simple white T-shirt, Jack Gyllenhaal style, or lead Penn Badgely in "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Pair with a coordinated turtleneck sweater.

And you don’t even have to wear a full velvet suit. Prince William, Daniel Craig and Jason Momoa have all recently wore velvet suit jackets and non-velvet pants at large events.

No matter how you create a formal velvet look, don't forget to take some time to stop and feel the smooth and soft fabrics to create a comfortable winter atmosphere. If you want to try the velvet suit trend, we have summarized some interesting options below.
