02 Dec Fab Under $100: Brocade

The flawless, drop dead gorgeous Halle Berry hit the red carpet this week in a Balmain pantsuit. Though I thought the head-to-toe look was a bit overkill, brocade is a must have fabric in every woman’s arsenal. It has a festive feel and the bold pattern is enough to banish any winter time blues. They look great in metallics like silver and gold or in deeper jewel tones.

Let the ornate pattern take center stage by pairing your brocade blazer with skinny jeans or a brocade skirt with solid tights. Bottom line: with such a bold fabric, keep the rest of your look simple and clean.

If you want to embrace the look of brocade but can’t afford Halle’s Balmain number {according to The Fashion Bomb, the jacket is $3,866 and pants are $2,148}, check out the options below, all under $100.
