13 Wedding Season Looks You Can Rewear to Office Parties

2. Velvet blazer over a slip dress

Velvet instantly reads evening-ready, and a velvet blazer layered over a slip dress gives you both warmth and texture for cooler wedding days. At the wedding, leave the jacket on for a moody, rich look and pair with ankle-strap heels for a chic finish. For an office party, trade the slip for a silk cami and tailored trousers while keeping the blazer as the focal point; this keeps the velvet feel but grounds it in professional tailoring. If your workplace is conservative, choose a blazer in deep jewel tones like emerald or burgundy and pair it with closed-toe loafers or low block heels. Nordstrom and similar retailers stock velvet blazers that are cut in modern silhouettes, making them easier to style with trousers later. When cleaning, have velvet steamed or spot-cleaned to preserve texture. The blazer’s ability to anchor both a feminine slip and structured pants makes it one of the easiest wedding pieces to rewear to office gatherings.
