The epitome of festive tailoring - a Velvet Dinner Jacket is the perfect choice for the coming holiday season.
Offering a fresh twist on its classical style, velvet's soft and rich texture adds depth and character to the traditional black-tie look. Not only does velvet feel indulgent, but it also comes in various tones that add warmth and flair to your outfit while remaining perfectly formal.
One of the most appealing aspects of a velvet dinner jacket is its adaptability. For a New Year's Eve black tie, a deep black or midnight blue velvet jacket works beautifully with classic black barathea trousers, a Marcella front or pleated dress shirt, and a bow tie.
For more relaxed Christmas drinks, style the jacket with dark denim jeans, a one piece collar shirt and loafers. This gives you a smart, modern look that remains elegant without being overly formal. Velvet also pairs beautifully with knit textures, so a fine cashmere or wool jumper underneath softens the look for casual dinners or gatherings.
Our Bespoke and Made to Measure services allow you to customise the design details of the jacket to adapt to your style. Think about peak lapels which offer a classical look with a bit of formality, or a shawl lapel which has a softer touch that pairs beautifully with velvet’s unique texture. If you’re looking for something especially unique, consider a double breasted cut or experiment with details on the pockets or cuffs for added flair.
While classic black is always a sophisticated choice, the holidays invite a little more creativity when it comes to colouring. Jewel tones like emerald green, rich burgundy, deep plum, and midnight blue are perfect for the season, adding a splash of colour that captures the essence of holiday celebrations but remains subdued enough for formal settings.
A well crafted velvet jacket remains a timeless classic year on year and can be repurposed each festive season. Whether you’re wearing it to a winter wedding, a holiday dinner, or even a New Year’s gathering, this jacket is bound to become a staple in your holiday season wardrobe.
