Velvet is certainly having a moment. Something about the luxe quality of crushed velvet screams out to us at this time of year. It looks equally as good worn at home by the fire or on a big night out. From girly dresses to statement blazers and edgy leggings, there is no end to the ways velvet can be incorporated into an A/W wardrobe.

TV presenter and model Jameela Jamil looked amazing in a rich velvet dress at InStyle’s 10th anniversary event. To keep the look fresh, take style notes from Jameela, wear with a tough leather jacket, bowler hat and even matching velvet wedges. The quirky presenter loves a high street bargain and we identified her dress as Topshop! Alongside this velvet delight, Topshop has a great selection of other velvet dresses. We love the royal blue velvet stud tunic and the spot velvet flippy dress!

Quirky girls, invest in a statement velvet kimono. The relaxed fit and soft fabric nails bohemian chic and is the perfect option for adding a little intrigue to an otherwise run-of-the-mill outfit. We love the Devore velvet burnout jacket, exclusive to Miss Selfridge. It would look amazing thrown over a body con dress of skinny jeans and slouchy knit. A great layering piece, why not throw over a leather biker for colder winter days.

Velvet shy fashionistas can still take on the micro trend with accessories. The perfect way to inject a little luxury into your outfits, we love the soft covering over shoes and handbags. The Jeffrey Campbell Lita shoes caused a storm in the blog world less than a year ago have since been re-invented in hundreds of different colourways and textures. We especially love them in wine and black velvet. Try some winter sandals in velvet, just chuck on some contrasting socks and you are ready to hit the dance floor in style. The Topshop luxury platform sandals with ribbon bow are textbook examples.

Velvet can also pass as office friendly attire. Snap up a velvet blazer to look festive at work, or choose a smart velvet bag as a new season update. Topshop definitely have the best velvet selection on the high street and we can’t fault this contrast lapel blazer for a mere £75. Teem with a handy carry all tote like the Boohoo patent frame bag and you mean business.
