When does one wear velvet pants? I bought myself these beautiful dark green velvet pants, but every time I pick them up to wear, the occasion doesn't feel worthy of or fitting for those pants. I don't know if I'm just overcomplicating things. What kinds of events or occasions do you feel like velvet pants don't feel like too much?

I would wear this to absolutely any corporate event because it feels like the perfect balance of formal and informal. It's almost black, so I feel like it would go with anything. Is it more green in real life? Cuz I could see why it would feel like a stand out garment if its more green.

I would wear them instead of jeans. Keep the rest of the outfit as casual as you would with jeans, except for I would always have closed toed shoes on
