Can You Wear a Velvet Dress to Work
There's no denying it: velvet is a tough thing to wear during the day. The primary reason? Its connotations as a risqué textile. Unless you're wearing an especially regal-looking garment, this saucy fabric has the tendency to err on the side of tacky far too easily.
To ensure you look less Lady of the Night and more Lady of Leisure, the easiest way to wear velvet during the day is via an accessory. The ubiquitous choker is a clear choice, as is the velvet clutch. For chillier days, simply don a Juicy Couture-esque velvet tracksuit top. And if your style is further in the preppy direction, smoking loafers are the thing for you.
In need of suggestions? These velvet pieces will add instant va va voom to your daywear.

If you're not quite ready to wear a full-out velvet dress, starting small could do the trick. Why not try some heels? Or perhaps a purse? Sprinkling in little bits and pieces of velvet throughout your wardrobe is the perfect way to introduce yourself to the bold texture.

Feeling a little bolder at this point? Good. Because we're thinking you might be ready to do a statement velvet piece. A blazer or blouse is a great piece to make a bit of a statement in. The rest of your outfit can be quite muted and neutral if you decide to rock a velvet blazer/blouse.
