It isn’t very often you see a fabric become a major trend. Sure, you’ll find silhouettes trending from time to time, and spot hordes of people wearing the same type of outfit. But it’s never a fabric that becomes such a big hit.
The one in question right now is velvet. Think those Juicy Couture tracks we all wore and regretted, but on fleek.
Step in to your favourite high-street store today and you’ll spot that velvet from a mile away. It’s available in practically every silhouette, from your trousers and boots to a bomber jacket and a slip dress.
Now, before you go thinking this one is something made just for cooler climates, think again. The fabric might look warm but once you have it on, wear it as a blazer on your favourite tee, as a slip dress, or even a tank, and you’re good to go!
It has the power to instantly make you look more dressed up and put together, and with all those end-of-the-year parties you’re about to hit, it’s definitely something you need in your closet.
I’m not sure whether or not it’s here to stay, but everyone from Cara Delevingne to Kylie Jenner and Rihanna have been wearing this fall fabric, even in the summer months. So ladies, don’t knock it before you’ve tried it!
