Velvet is a quintessential holiday fabric. It's plush yet gives off a slick rock 'n roll vibe. Remember Gwyneth Paltrow in that red velvet Tom Ford for Gucci pantsuit? Gorg(eous).

ShapeFX has come out with Velvet Control Pants ($69) that are affordable and guaranteed to make you look slim. Why? Because they have a built-in power-mesh panty to slim your tummy and hips. And no one but you will ever know. Make your days more velvety, lean, and luxurious.
