When velvet really started to hit the runways for a return last year, all I could think about was my old gymnastics leotards with silver sparkles threaded through. But with edgy designers like Marc Jacobs and Charlotte Ronson, it is hard to resist the stuff.
The thing I love about this trend so much is the effortless look of it. Jeans and a white shirt plus a black velvet blazer instantly transforms an outfit into cool with the mix of textures. If a blazer or dress (like the fabulous champagne Anna Sui one shown twice above) is too much for you, opt for something smaller such as a clutch like the Juicy Couture bowed ones shown above. It may seem small, but that hint of sheen takes that extra step into instant luxe.
A hint to achieving this look is to stay with jewel tones and if not, make sure the color is flattering. Rich colors such as canary yellow, cobalt blue, and ruby red are always flattering on many different skin and hair colors. Once again, effortless!
