Chief among its virtues is the fact that women admire its tactility, and as a result are given to stroking it; however, the fact that it's smart but has nothing to do with office wear is almost as appealing. The ability to master chic off-duty outfits is the hallmark of the well-dressed man, and velvet has a big role to play in that endeavour.
