Crush On The Velvet Trend - Havetolove.com

The Christmas party season is just around the corner, so get your party outfit now because we have the perfect thing for you...

Crushing on this season's luxe velvet, reworked away from its previous dark gothic undertones, this A/W sees velvet with a vibrant hit of colour. Luxurious jewel tones of red, green and gold sit alongside classic black teamed with romantic hints of pleats and ruffles. Add a pop of colour to your ensemble with one of our Candice velvet camisoles - the khaki green is our top pick!

Gucci, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana all coveted the black velvet dress, a must in your party season wardrobe this year. Gucci teamed with voile sleeves and pink pussy bows whilst D&G contrasted with peek-a-boo black lace. But props go to Prada for vamping up their velvet with metallic embellishment. We've got the perfect slinky black dress with sexy choker detail - shop the Valentina dress here

If you want to veer away from black this season, I would recommend you amp it up a notch with burgundy velvet, as seen on Lanvin and Etro’s fall catwalks, this mix of texture and richness of colour gives an instantly luxurious look. 

Our favourite velvet look of all this season has to be inspired by the Dries Van Noten catwalk show, where dresses where enhanced with rich coloured furs simply strewn over the shoulder or draped across the arm. Shop our pretty coloured fur selection here

You don’t have to do this trend head-to-toe, velvet can be dipped in to with accessories, Alexander McQueen showed encrusted round toe court shoes and Gucci took it back to the old school with double G logo velvet bags. The must have accessory this season are chokers, and are a perfect outfit enhancer in black velvet - shop our chokers here

This trend has a Kardashian/Jenner clan following with Kylie Jenner spotted in the Cara Dress available at havetolove now! Also loving this trend is new it Victoria Secret it girl Bella Hadid. Closer to home, British fashion favourite Cara Delavingne is an avid velveteer.
