Velvet Bolero

Johnny Was’ Velvet Bolero in Chocolate feels like a heirloom-inspired layer you’ll reach for whenever an outfit needs instant richness. Cut from lustrous silk-blend velvet in a deep chocolate-brown hue, this embroidered bolero jacket is traced with intricate floral vines, butterflies and ornate border detailing that nod to the label’s signature bohemian romanticism. The open-front silhouette drapes effortlessly over camisoles, slips and tailoring, while the softly cropped length keeps the effect refined rather than overwhelming. Three-quarter sleeves and a fluid, slightly boxy shape make it an easy evening cover-up or elevated occasion jacket, whether styled with satin pants, dark denim or a silk midi dress. Rich in texture and beautifully detailed, it’s a standout piece of embroidered velvet outerwear that brings depth, colour and artistry to your wardrobe.
