It seems fall is getting a tad soft this year with
a gorgeous velvet touch. This fabric is irresistible and adds just the right
amount of sophistication to an already great look. With these plummeting chilly
temperatures coming in, it pays to have a cosy and luxurious chic fabric known
as velvet, to keep you warm and stylish. Although it has been deemed tacky the
past few years, in 2016 it has become one of the hottest trends this fall and
winter. What comes to mind when we think about velvet? How can I pull this off
without looking like an 8-year-old on Christmas morning? Stick with a richer
tone this way you don’t end up looking ridiculous.
The most common thread running through this
season’s shows was rapidly velvet. From Givenchy, Gucci, Chanel, and Prada,
these designers made a huge mark in tapping into the winter trend. A lot of
different colours are emerging this season, this made us all want to try out
this fabric and experiment with our own style. Both high-end and high street
brands have dished up this party season style, in a spontaneous palate that
allows you to wear this tone for any occasion day or night. There are multiple
styles to suit anyone’s taste even if you are a bit nervous to venture out.
Here are 5 ways to work this
trend into your wardrobe.
2) Dress
you up- The little black dress can be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. When
it comes to stepping out of tradition, try a velvet dress. This can be worn
casual or dressy depending on the length. If you are heading to a dinner event
or even a wedding, try a longer length for an old Hollywood starlet look. When
shopping during the day with a casual attitude, make the length of the dress
shorter. This way it comes off relaxed and fun. Tone down on accessories so the
fabric can be centre stage.
3) Menswear
pieces- The easiest look to pull off is a menswear inspired jacket. Throw it on
over any look and it adds a touch of artsy to your entire outfit. Try a burnt
out style in the velvet material, this can come off edgy for a rock and roll vibe.
This fabric is captivating our hearts, while making
us feel a sense of 90s supermodel nostalgia.
