While I love the flashes of skin inherent in summer wardrobes, there's something about cold-weather clothing that's just so deliciously tactile. Soft knits beg to be touched, and velvet is especially hard to resist.

If you make it difficult for them to keep their hands off you, your flirtations will almost always prove to be merely foreplay. This velvet blazer is only one example of how to do velvet right.
