How to Style Velvet Trousers

With the right pieces, our closets can work extra hard for us.

In an effort to shop more mindfully, we're finding pieces we can style multiple ways, from a trendy maxi skirt to a classic cardigan. That way, you're sure to utilize your closet favorites on more than one occasion.

This time, we're styling one trouser four different ways. We've chosen a relaxed-fit, velvet trouser in a gorgeous dark teal color that's ideal for the holiday season. The plush velvet fabric makes the trousers that much more special.
