Cozy and casual velveteen jacket

This is the time of year  when velvet jackets dress up any holiday attire.  Since I live in southern California, gatherings and parties in my group of friends is fairly casual.  So when I went looking for a casual velvet blazer, I found one at Sundance catalog. The best friend velveteen jacket is a versatile jacket suitable for day or a casual evening out. 

Velvet? Velveteen?  What is the difference?  Well, according to the description on Sundance "velveteen is an all-cotton fabric with a short, close filling pile cut to resemble velvet". Traditional velvet is made with a cotton or linen back and a silk pile.  Velvet can also be made from rayon and acetate which are synthetic, silk like materials.

I love this velveteen jacket.  Dress it up, dress it down, this jacket fits any occasion.

Jacket is velvety soft and unlined on the inside.  The cuffs can be rolled to reveal a matching floral print.
