A button-down shirt is great for many things, but especially for nicer events like winter holidays. And if you get a button-down shirt that has something unique about it, it can make you stand out even more and elevate your outfit. So let’s say you make a button-down out of a velvet material; automatically, the shirt has a little more pizazz. If that sounds like something you’d like, Target has a button-down just for you. Plus it looks like higher-end styles sold at Free People and Neiman Marcus that are over 21 times the price.
Target’s Women's Long Sleeve Collared Button-Down Shirt by their in-house women’s brand, Universal Thread, is currently $28. It is basically exactly what its name says it is; it is a button-down shirt with a collar and long sleeves. It also has two chest patch pockets and buttoned cuffs. It falls below the hip and is a “casual fit” meaning that it’s not meant to be worn tightly but it’s not too oversized. And most importantly; it’s made of velvet.

The site states that it’s made out of 100% “recycled polyester velvet fabric.” And while it’s not a crushed velvet, it is pretty noticeable and has a velvet sheen to it.
This shirt comes in two colors, black and maroon, and the buttons all the way down the front match the color of the shirt. There are even matching bottoms: Target’s Women's Mid-Rise Wide Leg Velvet Cargo Pants.
These pants have 27 ratings and reviews and 4 full stars; people seem to really like how they look and feel.
"Perfect for the price,” one shopper wrote. “Love it. Can dress it up or down. So comfy, too.”
Another person called it a “beautiful blouse” that “looks far more expensive than the price.” They also wrote that the casual fit is “super nice.”
"Velvet beauty," one reviewer wrote. “This is a soft, plush velvet shirt.”

Dillard's
Saying that Target’s shirt looks like it’s “far more expensive” than it is is a big compliment. Especially considering how many there are out there that are so similar and twice the price (or more. The first is Jones New York’s Stretch Velour Point Collar Long Sleeve Button Front Top, which is currently on sale for $35.70 (it was originally $59.59) at Dillard's.
It has a similar design: it’s a button-down shirt with a relaxed fit, two chest pockets and made from velvet. Instead of 100% polyester, though, this velour shirt is made out of polyester and elastane. It has a similar collar to Target’s shirt as well as buttoned cuffs. This one, though, does come in three colors and not just two: black, dark sapphire and forest green.

We The Free Off Duty Velvet Shirt, $99.95 (originally $168) at Free People
Free People
Someone in the reviews for Target’s velvet button-down shirt also said it was a Free People “dupe,” and they have a good eye. Free People’s We The Free Off Duty Velvet Shirt, in the color Rhododendron, is so similar to Target’s maroon shirt. The Free People shirt is currently $99.95 (it was originally $168) and it comes in two other colors: Silver Lining and Varsity Navy.
This shirt has a very similar velvety sheen to it, though Free People’s shirt is made from 75% viscose and 25% nylon. It also has a “slouchy, oversized fit,” so it’s slightly larger than Target’s. It also has only one chest pocket (with no buttoned flap) and has another pocket lower on the same side.
Essie Floral-Embroidered Velvet Blouse - Kobi Halperin, $598 at Neiman Marcus
Neiman Marcus
And lastly, Kobi Halperin’s Essie Floral-Embroidered Velvet Blouse is also very similar to the Universal Thread shirt. It currently costs $598 at Neiman Marcus and is a similar concept. It’s a velvet button-down shirt with a pointed collar and a more relaxed fit. The main difference is the fact that the sleeves on this one have “tonal floral embroidery.” The blouse itself is also made with viscose and silk. But again, it’s a very similar vibe.
So if you’re looking for an elevated button-down that is perfect for the holidays or just a nice event in the winter, then Target’s Women's Long Sleeve Collared Button-Down Shirt is worth checking out.
