More to the point, it sounds comfortable while still being business-appropriate, easy to clean, and easy to grab while getting going in the morning.
That business-appropriate is a pretty big deal; uniforms are uniform for a reason. Velvet is lovely but if you want to be taken seriously at, say, microsoft or google, velvet is not it.
Women usually have a lot of feelings and thoughts around how they appear and how they present themselves; I think it's seldom because they are unaware of the entire conundrum.
Some people revel in, and adore, dressing up and feeling feminine, pretty, sexy, appreciated, or whatever other word best describes their experience of their own beauty and appealingness to others.
Others choose to downplay their beauty and focus more on other aspects of their personalities... where beauty can also be found (possibly even -- greater beauty??).
I think most people choose to do some of each depending on the day, their mood, what's clean, what's comfortable, the requirements of their job / life / social circle... not to mention depending on how others have responded to them in the past as they dressed up, down, and sideways.
I think it's wonderful that you're so enthusiastic about dressing up and looking fabulous. You embrace life and beauty with such fervor. But other people may be embracing different aspects of life and reveling in not

I suspect the way I dress most days would fall into this category. I'm not dressing to impress. I'm dressing to feel comfortable, pass dress code at work if it's a work day, and avoid attention while riding the bus or walking around downtown (that last is a huge factor). I still try to find clothes that I think look reasonably nice, but not too nice, because I DO NOT WANT ATTENTION. If I am going out on a date with my sweetie, then I may pull out a velvet dress (if we won't be walking in an area I don't feel safe in). But the rest of the time, that wouldn't feel safe to me. Plus I have had guys tell me that I look incredibly sexy in jeans and a flannel shirt, so don't assume that everyone finds the same things attractive that you do.
