If there’s one material you need to invest in to face the arrival of winter in style and look your best during the holidays, it’s this one. Here’s how to wear it.
Even if winter is not yet here, its freezing cold is already felt and our appearance suffers. To avoid giving in to shapeless sweaters and XXL down jackets, a material with a soft and comfortable texture is more essential than the others. Whether you wear it to keep warm or as an alternative to sequinned dresses for the end of year celebrations, it will be everywhere this winter.
A noble material with a slightly retro look, velvet is the big winner of the season. Often considered old-fashioned, it has been brilliantly dusted off by the biggest fashion houses. He notably dressed the Dior, Chanel, Celine and Valentino silhouettes for fall-winter 2023-2024, and was also noticed on pieces signed Schiaparelli and Alberta Ferretti. And for good reason: its luxurious appearance makes it a very elegant choice and it is one of those fabrics that keeps you warm. Ribbed or smoothit is available in a range of winter colors like brown, khaki, burgundy, navy blue or even emerald green to add a touch of fantasy to the season’s looks.
Treating yourself to a velvet piece is not enough; you still have to know how to carry it correctly. Adopted on an evening dress, long or short, it becomes a great ally for the holidays. In everyday life, this timeless material works well with chunky sweaters. The goal ? Confronting cozy knitwear with the luxurious dimension of velvet. But it also goes perfectly with basics from our wardrobe like a turtleneck or a wide T-shirt. Thus, we find it on a blazer jacket, flare pants or even a mini skirt. Handbags, shoes, gloves, belts… accessories also sport the trend. Enough to wear the most wintery material of all from head to toe!
