Velvet Jackets for the party season
December marks the beginning of event season, with plenty of excuses to slip into one's finery, knock back some champagne, and toast the year that was! With social events, work functions, gala dinners and all manner of smart networking situations, it pays to look the part. For men, traditional black tie is always a splendid option and at Favourbrook we have a number of classic black dinner jackets that will rise to the occasion.
But for something a little different, or for those that want to stand out from the crowd, a colourful cotton velvet dinner jacket is a sophisticated alternative. This season we have created a number of different colours (no, not the Daniel Craig fuchsia pink!), all centred around a rich autumnal palette. From midnight blue to cardamom and rust, they are subtle yet robust tones that bring confidence and flair to your black tie look.

Unlike the traditional black dinner jacket with grosgrain lapels, these colourful cotton velvet styles can also be styled in a more casual evening look with a simple black t-shirt or open collar shirt for a touch of rock 'n' roll rebellion. What are rules if not to be broken?!
For womenswear, we have a plethora of elegant evening options in both cotton velvet and finer silk velvet. The dense rich pile of the former is the perfect fabric in a smart evening situation because it reflects light beautifully, bringing out a host of subtle tones from the cloth, while the latte silk velvet has a more delicate, lightweight finish. Our velvet jackets also feature many different styles of embellishments including some stunning embroidery details.
CARNABY COAT MOSS |
LONG SWING COAT IVORY |
SAVOY COAT CASPIAN BLUE |
We also have a variety of different lengths of velvet coat and jacket this season, creating a versatile array of options for your smart wardrobe. From short cropped jackets for that Jackie O look to svelte long-line extravagances that create a powerfully feminine silhouette.
