This Fall/Winter is going to be all about Velvet. And I don’t know a single Fashion blogger out there that isn’t totally excited about it! And while this unique vintage-inspired fabric isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (think childhood flashbacks to that awful velvet dress your mother forced you to wear for your annual Christmas photos), it has definitely been able to withstand the test of time in the fashion universe. In my opinion, Bright and Bold colored Velvet pieces (including accessories like shoes and bags) have now earned their place in the iconic fashion history book and are all currently something that every woman should consider wearing this season.
If you are on board for incorporating something Velvet into your Fall/Winter wardrobe, there are tons of incredible options for you to choose from! Tons of great designers (in all price ranges) have put their own unique spin on this fabulous and surprisingly versatile fabric and a lot of Hollywood A-listers have already starting popping up on the red carpet wearing Velvet.
Which stars you might ask? Well, the Scream Queen herself, Emma Roberts was photographed recently w/ gal pal Alycia Debnam Carey wearing slinky 90s inspired dresses and the always gorgeous Emily Ratajkowski decided to go a bit more bold by wearing a golden yellow tailored suit. And the Velvet Vibes don’t stop at just dresses! Gucci has come out with one of the most gorgeous handbags that I’ve seen in years using this iconic fabric!
And we all know that no popular fashion trend would be complete without shoes, right? Omg, Guys! The velvet shoes available this season are crazy gorgeous! From stunning blue velvet, ankle cut booties from Gianvito Rossi to chunky heeled velvet platforms from Jil Sander, there is something for every shoe taste this Fall/Winter!
