The first trend we’re covering, and possibly the most popular trend of the season, is velvet. Velvet is naturally a go-to option for colder seasons because it is a thicker material. But, why is everyone so obsessed with velvet this year?

Velvet is super soft and plush, and designers love translating the tactile sensation of velvet into a visual experience too. Velvet is also a reminder of eras past and is often associated with royalty. Even in a modern day context, velvet is luxurious and sumptuous, and can give a sophisticated appeal to any accessory.

If you want to experiment with different materials and textures, look into velvet this season! Down below are a few shopping suggestions that fully channel “velvet vibes”.
