Wearing all-velvet may seem intense, but the opposite is actually true. By combining items of the same material you easily create serenity in your look, and that also goes for a lush fabric like velvet. Side note is that we recommend you to choose items in the same color and preferably from the same brand, so the direction of the nap is the same. Woman by Earn offers a beautiful velvet collection with items that you can effortlessly combine with each other. 

Do you feel like velvet might be a bit too intense for casual occasions? Then go for combinations with opposite fabric structures with a less shiny and glamorous character. Think chunky knits, prints, denim, jersey or another matte fabric. In this case, velvet gives your casual outfit a boost while you can still wear it on a daily basis. We like our wardrobe to be as versatile as possible, so that includes wearing velvet to the supermarket on your lazy Sunday.
