Is there anything hotter than Velvet right now?

Trend Report

Ladies listen up.. as the season's shows are thoroughly working the runway.. you have to ask yourself the question??


Is there anything hotter than velvert right now?


Answer is, no there isn't.. Opulance is the key to this winter's trend squad.. it's getting more and more luxurious as the season's progress. Create a simply ravishing look by beginning with velvet, add fine french lace, a hint of Suede and a touch of Faux fur and you'll be turning heads in your social circle.. here's how it can be done in the most tasteful mannor..


#1 - Velvet Skirt or Tailored trouser - go for a royal>precious Gem huein: Sapphire>navy, Ruby>Burgundy, Emerald>Olive, Onix>midnight Black. Carla Zampatti is very Velvet this season, Especially her daughter, Bianca's collection, in store now. On a budget - hit the opp shops, Nana's were sporting velvety looks beautifully, pick up an original piece at a bargain price.


  • Ensure the skirt or pant is perfect for your individual figure type - there are many different silhouettes around, keep looking until you find the right one.


#2 - Add one Fine French lace Camisole or play suit (whatever feels most comfortable, fitted or free. Either is fine) you won't have trouble finding one of these, they're everywhere this season. An not about to dissappear for the season's to come, they will be around and worn as base layers under sheer organza's next season. Cheaper laces can be itchy, I would invest in this piece, or go for a silk/lace combo to avoid the itch)


#3 - Suede, suede, suede - the jackets in stores right now are delicious... I'm loving the feature wave front and the raw edge cuts. Stone, winter white, powder blue, granite and soft black are good colour choices.


Accessories - team up with full necklace, an ankle boot or a closed toe platform and you're ready to hit the streets in style and sophistication.
