For the holidays, we’re crushing on velvet. Smooth and soft velvet is a key piece in my wardrobe this season as it adds a hint of the holidays while also translating from work to evening. Go ahead, wear a velvet blazer to the office! Mixing up your style as the seasons change is a sure way to get noticed.
You’ll note that this season’s reigning motifs are infinitely more opulent. Lustrous velvet, shimmering sequins and glitter infused accessories all in abundance are what makes this holiday season extra special.
Get ready to strike a pose in luxurious velvet. The opulent fabric is soft to the touch and has a hint of shimmer, which adds an elegant and upscale element to the overall look. Infuse some style in to your classic work wardrobe with a velvet blazer or a fitted velvet dress for a touch of luxe.
Velvet accessories reigned supreme on the fall/winter runways, appearing on the hottest shoes and bags of the season.
We saw an influx of velvet that’s worthy of investment from Bottega Veneta, Opening Ceremony, Preen, Rochas, Roberto Cavalli and Phillip Lim.
From lush accessories to generous swaths of velvet, there is no limit to this ladylike look.
