Jennifer Garner’s recent Parisian outfit adds a holiday twist to fall wear.

On September 24, theDaredevilactress stepped out in Paris wearing a black velvet midi dress that looked smooth, shiny, and sensational. It was also a surefire signal that it’s now safe to reach for any clothes you had strictly designated for colder seasons. Say it with us: Velvet is for fall, too!

Many celebrities have validated this fashion trend: Mandy Moorebroke out a velvet stylein October of last year, andNicole KidmanandTaylor Swiftare also velvet enthusiasts. Garner was evenspotted in the fabricas early as 2017.

Ouges V-Neck Wrap Maxi Dress

Amazon

$61$54 at Amazon

For something that mimics Garner’s dress, Amazon has this option with 8,600+ five-star ratings. It’s a tailored maxi length that gives you the benefit of forgoing an extra layer like tights, while the top section has a flattering waist detail that’s more comfortable than something with, say, a corset-like fit. It also has pockets for added convenience.

Gap High Rise Velvet ’90s Straight Pants

Gap

$80$63 at Gap

For a more casual approach to this trend, these Gap pants still have a velvety finish but aren’t nearly as formal as a long dress. And as far as styling is concerned, they’re like basic black jeans, so outfit creation remains straightforward. Also, Reese Witherspoon just posed for a photo in asimilar straight-leg pair, making the case for versatile black pants throughout fall.
