Need something to wear to the ballet. What about Blue velvet! Loving these rich brushstroke blue velvet pants from Loft that I can see wearing for New Year’s Eve and all through the winter! The fabric has a gorgeous feel. They come in straight sizes only so I ordered up and tried an 18 since they were skinny pants to make sure I had enough room. Paired with the velour mosaic top with the elastic bracelet length sleeves in Cineraria blue. This is sophisticated but also soft and comfortable. Easy to wear. I can see this looking nice with black pants too. They paired it with leather pants on the website. I think a black top would work well with the blue velvet skinny pants as well. Top is a rich cobalt blue. Pants were a little more towards a deep teal than straight up cobalt blue so perhaps a hint of green in there with the blue. Either piece would be great for date night. I’m hoping to use the pants for daytime for work this winter. But I love that they work for going out at night as well. The top would be good for going out. Together they’re an elevated casual look.
