The Best Velvet Pants To Wear Now
Nothing says “Holiday Season” to me like velvet. When I was young, I thought it was for the rich or special parties. Not anymore. You can wear velvet for anything, even a casual lunch with friends. Today, I’m sharing the best velvet pants to wear now. I’ve got leggings, straight leg, and flared options. And as usual, I’ve included a lot of different price points, too!
How To Care For Velvet Pants
Caring for velvet pants takes a little extra love to keep them looking their best! First, always check the care label because some velvets need dry cleaning, while others can handle a gentle hand wash. If they’re machine washable, use the delicate cycle with cold water and put them in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric. Ha, no need to let them get beat up in the washer!
Avoid wringing out your velvet pants—just lay them flat on a towel to dry. Velvet can get crushed easily, so store them hanging up in your closet to keep them smooth and wrinkle-free. Oh, and if you need to get out any creases, gently steam them from the inside or hold the steamer a few inches away. No iron, please! That can flatten the fibers and ruin the soft, plush look we love. Take care of your velvet, and you’ll keep turning heads in those luxe pants all season long!
My Favorite Velvet Pants To Wear Now
I love all of the velvet pants I’m showing today, but these velvet leggings might be my favorite! You can wear these leggings with flats, heels, or boots, and I love how versatile they are. They look fantastic with a pair of knee-high boots! Dress them up for date night with a simple top and a velvet blazer, or style them with a crisp white blouse and ballet flats for a timeless, classic look. If you’re headed to a nighttime gathering, pair them with a sleek jacket and ankle boots to keep things sophisticated.
I’m all about mixing them into a more relaxed fit outfit, too! Throw on a cozy sweatshirt and some combat boots for an unexpected twist—that’s my favorite thing about velvet leggings: they can be fancy or totally laid-back.
The Best Velvet Pants To Wear Now From JJill
These Wearever Velvet-Knit Straight-Leg Trousers from J.Jill would work beautifully for holiday parties and special events! I love the relaxed fit and a comfy pull-on waistband —no zippers, no fuss. The luxe velvet knit gives them that dressy vibe while still feeling cozy, and you can easily style them up with a simple sweater to keep things chic. Oh, and bonus: they’re machine washable! Talk about a great choice for your winter wardrobe!
I told you velvet can be casual. These Velveteen-Stretch Slim-Leg Pants from J.Jill are giving me all the stylish yet comfy vibes! The soft velveteen fabric has just enough stretch to move with you, and the slim-leg fit keeps things looking sleek. Wear them with a relaxed sweater and some chic ankle boots for a casual day out, or dress them up with a jacket for a special occasion. I love that they’re easy to care for—yep, they’re machine washable too!
The Best Velvet Pants To Wear Now From Ann Taylor
I love these Mid Rise Boot Pants from Ann Taylor. They remind me of the pixie pants from Old Navy that I used to live in. The rich velvet fabric adds luxury, while the mid-rise and bootcut silhouette gives a flattering fit. These are available in Petite and Classic sizes and in black if you’re not a fan of this wine color. I think the styling is perfect – a fitted sweater or top with a cute cardigan. So cute!
Not everyone loves wide-leg pants, but they should, lol. Wide-leg pants create a long, lean line from the waist down, which gives the illusion of length, especially when paired with a higher waist. That’s why they work so well for so many body shapes! They balance out your proportions, especially if you’re curvier through the hips or thighs. Plus, they have this effortless, flowy vibe that’s both chic and comfortable. These Perfect Wide-Leg Pant in Drapey Velvet are gorgeous. Style them with a classic tee and ankle boots for an effortlessly cool daytime vibe, or elevate your look with a sharp blazer and some statement heels for an evening out.
The Best Velvet Pants To Wear Now From Amazon
You can find anything in velvet! These are technically 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex, and more like velour than velvet, but let’s not quibble! This rich green is gorgeous but comes in many other colors. Throw on your sneakers and a cozy sweater, and you’re ready for a day of running errands or chilling at home.
These Velvet Flare Leg pants work as casual everyday pants, but you can elevate the look by pairing them with flats and a cute top. Reviewers say that they look great and are very comfortable. They run long, so consider that when choosing a side. The black pair would be perfect for a work/holiday function.
I wasn’t sure whether I should group these in the casual category or the dressy. They look sooo comfortable! I’d say you can wear them any way you want. I love this gorgeous green; it is perfect for the holidays. Years ago, I wore a coat of this color and fabric to an art show. These would be perfect for the same sort of event.

I have had black velvet lounging pjs for years now. still love them! They are becoming well-worn. Maybe it’s time for a new pair!
Great idea – love all of these!
The black wide leg velvet trousers and checkered blazer are very nice.
Years ago, I picked up some dark purple velvet pants from Chicos. They might have been from the Travelers collection. I love to wear them to a special event every winter. This year I see Chicos has a beautiful green pair. Tempting! 🙂
I wouldn’t mind velvet wide leg pants if they were in a petite size.
I love velvet. It’s not really cool enough here to wear it yet, but I may have to pull mine out for some parties coming up.

I don’t have velvet pants or leggings, but my choice would be the wide leg.
The velvet leggings and merino wool sweater look really nice on you.
We don’t have any Christmas parties to go to but that outfit would be one that I would choose to wear.
Also your tree is gorgeous and the pretty presents underneath add a very nice touch!

The velvet leggings in green are my favorite and would be perfect for Christmas day! And I love your tree, the bows are pretty and your tree topper is pretty. I always put lots of bows on my tree, usually red but I have some gold ones as well.
