Enter some men’s wear departments these days, and you could be forgiven for thinking Christmas has come early. Velvet jackets, the stuff of end-of-year-dinners and festive get-togethers, festoon the rails even before the inevitable racks of tinsel, cards and wrapping paper have appeared in stores。
隨便走進幾家男裝店，恍然感覺圣誕已然到來。這也不怪你，通常歲末年終赴宴以及節慶歡聚時才穿的天鵝絨夾克已經琳瑯滿目地擺滿了貨架，甚至比亮箔、卡片和包裝紙年復一年的上架時間還要早。
The current crop of velvet jackets, however, has a rather more casual feel, more blazer in style rather than resembling something pulled from the black tie or evening wear section. Designers from Giorgio Armani to Dolce &Gabbana and Gucci have taken this luxurious, louche fabric and brought it squarely in to the daylight。
但是，當前這批天鵝絨夾克更具休閑與運動風格，而非隨意模仿半正式禮服和晚裝款式。從喬治·阿瑪尼(Giorgio Armani)到杜嘉班納(Dolce &Gabbana)以及古姿(Gucci)，設計師們都認可了這種原本屬于公子哥穿的奢侈面料，并讓它堂而皇之地登堂入室。
Case in point: her predecessor at Gucci, Tom Ford, a man at home in a glossy velvet jacket, whose current eponymous men’s wear campaign features actor Nicholas Hoult (who appeared in the film Ford directed, A Single Man) in a zingy midnight blue velvet blazer complete with jaunty playboy cravat, a pair of sultry shades, and a flock of psychotic ravens perched on his shoulders for effect. Available in eight colours, from emerald green to ruby red, ebony and aubergine, Ford’s blazers are cut from fine Italian velvet (the “daytime” version – yes, there is a “daytime” version – retails for a cool ?2,370, the evening version for ?2,290)。
舉個例子：湯姆·福特(Tom Ford)是賈娜妮之前的前任古姿創意總監，在家喜歡穿亮光色天鵝絨夾克，他目前舉行了以其名字命名的男裝推介會，主打款以男演員尼古拉斯·霍爾特(Nicholas Hoult，曾出演福特導演的影片《單身男子》(A Single Man))為偶像，穿的是活力四射的午夜款藍色天鵝絨運動夾克，配以時髦的牛仔圍巾，佩戴一副讓人想入非非的遮陽鏡，模特肩上還蹲了幾只“精神不正常”的烏鴉以增加視覺效果。福特設計的運動夾克(哦，本系列還有“日款”，零售價賣到了讓人咂舌的2370歐元，晚裝款零售價則為2290歐元)由上等意大利天鵝絨面料裁剪而成，共有8種顏色的款式面市，從翠綠、寶石紅、烏黑到紫紅色不等。
