1. The Sparkly Sweater and Jeans Look

Since it’s cold outside, you’ll want to wear some warm tights under your velvet dress. Black tights are a classic pick and go with almost any color dress. You can also pick patterned tights if you want to add a bit more fun to your outfit. Tights keep your legs warm while still letting you wear a pretty dress.
