Velvet Goldmine — 50+ Velvet Pieces To Help You Crush The Fashion Game This Fall & Winter!
Still think of velvet as a fabric relegated to the realm of furniture upholstery? Prepare to radically transform the way you think about this plush fabric: the Fall/Winter 2016 fashion landscape is a veritable velvet goldmine, filled with pieces that range from regally posh to jauntily sporty, free-spirited and romantic, innocent and ladylike, polished and professional, intriguingly androgynous, and rebelliously grunge-y.
From bomber jackets and cheeky rompers to form-fitting dresses, printed blazers, sharp shorts, quilted purses, platform sandals, embellished booties, and choker necklaces, check out these pieces — all of which will help cement your place on the fashion throne. Lest we forget, VIP sections are only accessible after passing through velvet ropes, so that the fabric has long been used to connote exclusivity. Even more to the point, rulers have donned velvet robes for centuries, so that Egyptian pharaohs to Russian czars and British monarchs have all been cloaked in this fabric. And now, we can all swathe ourselves in the sophisticated material — no coronation necessary (though we’ll take any reverent bows!). Prepare to embark on the ultimate velvet voyage!
