Velvet's rich texture and luxurious feel are perfect for when you want to dress to impress. So, when Meg Ryan arrived at the 2025 Oscars red carpet in a floor-length burgundy velvet dress, I was instantly convinced—this fabric deserves a place in our wardrobes all year round.
Traditionally, velvet has been reserved for the colder months; however, this look proves that velvet can be a year-round staple for dressing up. From incorporating this fabric into your date night outfits to wearing it for evening events, this luxe material will never fail to impress. The trick to keeping velvet in your spring capsule wardrobe is perhaps styling it with lighter accessories or choosing silhouettes that have open necklines or shorter sleeve lengths.
