VelVet trousers
With holiday party season upon
us, give the typical little black dress a pass and opt for a pair of smooth, velvety trousers instead. although this trend may bring to mind the groovy 1970s, velvet bellbottoms lit up the Fall/Winter 2017 catwalks in a very contemporary way. at Max Mara, the trousers were loose-fitting and scarlet in colour. paired with an oversized matching turtleneck and a large plush coat, this fabric stole the show. Meanwhile, prada’s iteration of the trend involved what can be described as the new “power suit.” Burnt orange velvet flares were styled with a coordinating blazer and chunky metallic accessories. at Gucci, the look was made up of navy velvet harem pants. Worn with a velvet tunic top with long cuffed sleeves, the entire outfit brought the decade of disco back. if you want to take your sartorial cues from the past, slip into vampy velvet bottoms and get ready to dance the night away!
