It’s a Velvet Thing

We’ve got a thing for velvet. The luxurious material is on everyone’s must-wear list and set to be one of the biggest trends this winter. Here are 5 items to rock so you can own the trend.

SHOP THE VELVET TREND

  • THE SLIP DRESS

    The 90s essential has made a huge comeback and it’s going to be a surprising hit this winter too. Layer it over a lightweight sweater or polo neck and top it off with a bomber jacket.

  • THE JACKET

    Make a statement at the office or your next cocktail party with a velvet jacket. Wear a plain white shirt or high-neck blouse, denim and a simple heel to make it the focus point.

  • THE PANTS

    Velvet pants will level up any look. Style them with a tucked in ruffle blouse or cashmere polo neck and an overcoat.

  • THE SHOES

    Velvet shoes dominated the AW16 runways, so we’ll be seeing much more of them this season. Ankle boots will dress up your favourite pair of crop flare jeans. For a more sports luxe take on the trend, try on a pair of velvet sneakers.

  • THE ACCESSORIES

    Finish off your look with velvet accessories to match – a choker necklace adds an 80s-inspired feel.
