Dresses

Winter without a few outings of a velvet dress is scarcely winter at all. This is our top three, in a spectrum of sumptuous and festive colours.

Trousers

There is only one kind of velvet trouser that really counts in our books, and that’s the wide-legged and high-waisted. Wear them with starched shirts or simple cotton T-shirts to let them shine.

Coats

No one goes out in a velvet coat to keep dry or to protect themselves from the elements – but that’s really beside the point. A good plush piece to throw over a dress reliably elevates the everyday to the luxe.

Shoes

Is there anything that screams luxe like a velvet shoe? From classic Venetian slipper styles to elevate indolent days at home to party styles just in time for Christmas, these are the ones we adore.
