Truly, one of the most luxurious fabrics to wear is velour. Known for its soft, velvety texture, the smooth and slightly shiny surface gives an opulent appearance that adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. Fashion a pair of trousers out of it and you get a sophisticated piece that looks every bit as splendid as it feels.

However, a pair of velour trousers can be tricky to style! The eye-catching nature of the material can be intimidating. That’s why we’ve curated five fashionable looks to ensure you feel confident styling a pair of these majestic bottoms.

CLASSIC ELEGANCE

For a classic, elegant look, choose a pair of wide-leg velour trousers in a deep, rich colour like burgundy or navy blue. Pair them with a patterned blouse in a complementary or contrasting colour and accessorise with pearl jewellery for a polished touch. Complete the look with a pair of our cushion walk shoes for a timeless and elegant outfit.

ATHLEISURE INSPIRED

The best thing about velour trousers is their versatility - they can be dressed up or dressed down depending entirely on what you choose to accompany them with. For an effortless sporty look, opt for a taupe pair of velour jogging pants paired with a matching long sleeve velour zip through. Finish the athleisure style with a pair of comfortable trainers and a gilet and you have the perfect outfit for a day running errands.

KEEP IT CASUAL

If you’re in the mood to keep it casual but fashionable, opt for a pair of velour harem pants and a chunky knit jumper. The combination of knit and velour is one of extreme luxury but also keeps you comfortable as you go about your day. Add a statement belt to define the waist and slip into comfortable loafers to finish off this laid-back yet stylish outfit.

BOHO CHIC

Embrace a bohemian style by choosing wide-leg velour trousers paired with a flowy, blouse. This loose fitting outfit boasts elegance whilst providing a flattering shape for the wearer. Accessorise with layered necklaces, bracelets, and a wide-brimmed hat to really emphasise the hippy fashion. Finish the look with suede ankle boots for a relaxed, boho-chic vibe whale keeping yourself comfortable.

SMART-CASUAL LOOK

Choose wide-leg velour trousers in a versatile dark colour, like charcoal or teal, and pair them with a crisp white shirt or a lightweight knit cardigan for a look worthy of the office. As no outfit is complete without accessories, add a statement belt and a structured handbag for a touch of sophistication. You’ll be the envy of your colleagues with your new unparalleled style.
