Lets Validate Velvet

Velvet will forever be feminine and romantic, and it is becoming a staple piece for the seasons. Because velvet and winter go hand in hand, it tends to be most available in forest greens and charcoal greys, but it doesn’t have to be. More of a variety of colors are being offered for velvet now that the fun fabric is on the rise. Burnt oranges and mustard yellows are staple fall hues that thrive in velvet patterns. Fuschia pinks as well as royal blues flourish in winter months as a stark contrast to the dreary, dark days.

The most simple way to add velvet, and keep your hair out of your face, is with a scrunchie! Free people and Urban have packs with a variety of patterns and some fun colors to bring any outfit to life.

For a dressier occasion, this jacket projects a spunky ambitious vibe! The velvet looks so elegant, and it is sure to turn heads. Paired with some sneakers or strappy heels, this Free People coat will make for the perfect night out!

I’m starting to think Dorothy needed these shoes instead of her iconic ruby red slippers! These emerald green Gucci loafers with gold clasps are every girl’s dreams! Paired with light wash jeans and a chunky sweater will make an impeccable autumn outfit perfect for sipping a latte.

Boots and velvet coexist just right. Since they’re very textured, it’s best to leave the outfit simple to keep any materials from clashing. And let’s face it, these Forever 21 boots will be the staple part of any ‘fit.

Bell-bottom pants are coming back! This iconic  70s pair is fit for any velvet queen. Either dressed up or down, you can’t go wrong with having these in your closet.
