Trend Report

Recently I've been hearing so much about velvet become the new "it fabric." A lot of people think it's something pre-historic or that it belongs in the medieval times. In my opinion, it's definitely not something that you can wear every day, but you could wear it for a fun night out. Here are some easy ways that you could wear velvet:

1) Blazer
The other day I saw this beautiful velvet blazer but sadly it didn't fit my shoulders in the right way. I could imagine it looking so good with a colourful satin tank, skinny jeans, and booties. This look could be worn during the day or at night depending on the colours and accessories.

2) Leggings
American Apparel sells velvet stirrup leggings in black, navy, green, and burgundy. This would be a riskier way to try this trend but I can definitely see it working with a longer silk button down top and possibly belted. It's not something that would be for everyone but it could be a lot of fun if you found something that worked with it!

3) Dress
I actually just bought a black strapless velvet dress yesterday for an event I have coming up! A really popular dress I've seen is the American Apparel long sleeve mini dress. This is really simple so you could have a lot of fun with bigger and bolder accessories!

Overall I would suggest to start off with a neutral colour item such as black, grey, or navy. These colours are easy to pair with jeans and other tops. Also, if you aren't too fond of going crazy with the velvet then stick with a cute clutch or possibly a headband! I think this is a trend that you could have fun with once and a while instead of making it an every day staple.

Let me know if you're pro-velvet or anti-velvet!
