We’re calling it: velvet is the trend to invest in for the coming season. The sumptuous fabric has been all over recent runways, celebrities from Emma Stone to Olivia Palermo have toyed with tactile accessories and now Kendall Jenner is taking it up a notch.
En route to an after-hours event at London Fashion Week, the mega-model opted for a velvet wrap-dress by A.L.C teamed with over-the-knee boots.
Want to bring the lavish texture into your own wardrobe? Our advice is to start small with a pair of velvet heels and work your way up to an all-out evening look à la Jenner. While easier to pull off than high-shine fabrics like satin, it will definitely attract attention, so use strategically to highlight your favourite features. And pick your occasion: a velvet top may suit a Sunday brunch, but office-appropriate it ain’t.
