Why is it the top trend this fall?
Every season, one piece stands out as a must-have. This fall, it's the high-neck velvet top that's grabbing attention.
Its success can be explained by several reasons:
-
Velvet is making a strong comeback: both cozy and elegant, it appeals to women who want to combine comfort and style.
-
The high collar brings structure and instant chic, while highlighting the face.
-
The short cut makes the silhouette dynamic, especially when paired with high-waisted bottoms like leggings or a flowing skirt.
In today's fashion, where we are looking for hybrid pieces that can go from everyday to evening wear, the high-neck velvet top is an obvious choice.
How to wear a velvet top this season?
Many people wonder: how to wear a velvet top without weighing down your figure? The answer lies in balancing volumes and playing with contrasts.
-
Daytime : Choose casual pieces that balance out the sophistication of velvet. Straight-leg jeans or lightweight cargo pants will work perfectly.
-
For evening : Opt for a minimalist base, like palazzo pants or a satin skirt, and let the velvet top structure the look.
-
For a sporty chic look , pair it with colorful or patterned leggings . The contrast between the velvet and the technical fabrics creates a modern look, perfect for a dance class or a festival.
Velvet is a material that captures the light. Just one detail—a necklace, a belt, or a pair of earrings—can completely transform the look.
3 practical look ideas
1. Casual fall
Pair your high-neck velvet top with raw high-waisted jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Add an oversized jacket to break up the fitted look. This simple yet effective look works just as well for a stroll around town as it does for a day at the office.
2. Chic and colorful sport
Opt for UJO leggings in bold colors to contrast with the velvet. For example, the Orange Flash Dance leggings adds a vibrant touch with the fuchsia pink velvet top. This velvet + activewear mix creates an outfit that combines comfort and originality, perfect for yoga, dance or festivals.
3. Evening elegance
For dinner or a cocktail party, pair the high-neck velvet top with black pants, pumps, and gold accessories. The cropped cut will accentuate your waist, while the high neck adds instant sophistication. It's proof that a sporty piece can also be a chic evening piece.
Choose and maintain well
Comfort and materials
A quality velvet top offers a soft and enveloping feel. It's a lightly insulating material that retains heat without feeling stuffy. It's ideal for fall: it can be worn alone indoors or under a light jacket outdoors.
Easy maintenance
Velvet requires little effort: a gentle wash at 30°, flat drying, and it retains its softness. No need to iron it; it naturally retains its texture and elegant drape.
The right colors for fall
Deep shades like purple, black, or green work perfectly for the season. But there's nothing stopping you from daring with UJŌ's signature pop colors, like fuchsia or electric blue. They energize gray days and inspire confidence.
Conclusion
A high-neck velvet top is more than just a fall top: it's a chameleon piece, capable of transitioning from casual to chic, from the yoga studio to a dressy evening. Its cropped cut flatters the silhouette, its material provides comfort and warmth, and its style opens the door to endless looks.
