Men's velvet shorts

Far from the overly dressy velvet of years past, our shorts designs reinvent the fabric with modern cuts, perfect for both casual evenings and urban daytime wear. Soft to the touch and subtly lustrous depending on the light, velvet offers a texture and depth that classic cotton simply can't match. To complete the look, take a look at our men's belts or braided belts.

What to wear with men's velvet shorts ?

Velvet loves contrasting textures. Pair your men's velvet shorts with a thick cotton t-shirt or a thin turtleneck to play with textures. A pair of loafers or sneakers instantly elevates the outfit without overwhelming it. For cooler days, a men's sherpa layer worn over the shorts creates a successful mix of textures, combining the softness of velvet with the cozy feel of sherpa. Add a braided belt to define your silhouette and you're all set.

What colors should you choose for men's velvet shorts ?

Velvet reveals its most beautiful shades in deep hues: burgundy, fir green, midnight blue, or black. These rich colors fully exploit the unique texture of velvet, which catches the light differently depending on the angle. For a more casual look, neutral tones like white or camel remain safe bets that are easy to combine. In any case, keep the rest of your outfit simple to let the fabric speak for itself. A pair of patterned socks peeking out slightly can be enough to add a touch of personality without weighing down the overall look.

Are men's velvet shorts suitable for all seasons ?

Contrary to popular belief, velvet isn't limited to autumn and winter. Lightweight velvets are perfectly suited to spring, and even cool summer evenings. In winter, layer your velvet shorts with thick tights or wear them indoors with a men's sherpa jacket for a confidently lounge-style look. At Billybelt, we believe that style is built on the details; a knotted scarf, a well-chosen belt, and even the fabric of your shorts all contribute to expressing who you are.
