The velvet trend is NOW! Luxurious, shimmery, sensuous, feminine and romantic are all words that describe velvet. Velvet has been around for at least 4000 years. In the past velvet was associated with royalty and once worn only by the rich. Velvet was considered a cool weather fabric but with innovations and technological advances it is possible to produce, cheaper, lighter weight and affordable synthetic velvet.
In more recent times it was attributed to formal evening wear. Today the lines are getting blurred. Velvet has become chic for daytime or anytime. Designers are introducing velvet in casual styles and everyday wear. Bags, belts, baseball hats, bomber jackets, track pants, shoes and boots are new ways to update your look and you can find velvet in beautiful, rich colors.
