Ok, this trend isn't one of my personal favourites, but it's definitely something different and groundbraking. Furthermore, it's seen everywhere, from the catwalk to our highstreet stores! But forget about the chunky, over-the-top eighties designs, and go for glossy colours, pretty burn-out effects and more simplistic pieces. So think: sleek cocktail dresses and glamorous clutches. Read on for some great velvet pieces and catwalk inspiration...

What do you think of the velvet trend? Will you be investing in a velvet piece?
Touching velvet gives me the shivers. But it is so pretty, love that 3rd dress. Don't know if I'll be investing in it though! :)SarahD

I love that trend, I specially like the last dress
ReplyDeletei'm game for trying something new but it all depends on the piece and whether it appeals to my own personal style. the grey dress gemma is wearing is pretty amazing.
