Velvet is Back for Christmas

This season, we want you to not only look good, but feel good too. Velvet has travelled through decades to make it back in time for this Christmas and designers such as Balmain and Stella McCartney can’t seem to keep it out of their collections.

We’ve hand-picked our favourite velvet-textured pieces for your winter wardrobe to get you in with the look, but without the designer price tags.

Loungewear

Carry your things in style with this statement circle clutch bag from Mango. We think it adds quality to any outfit when held in your palm.

How gorgeous are these burgundy high-waist leggings from Miss Selfridge? Combine them with all your winter tops and jumpers to add a dash of colour and texture to your outfit.

Don’t be afraid to wear a skirt or play with colours this winter. We love Topshop’s Flippy skirts paired with opaque tights and ankle boots to elongate your legs.
