Velvet is synonymous with autumn/winter, particularly party season dressing. It adds something special to your regular partywear pieces without being as in your face as a full glitter ensemble. Plush and super soft, velvet not only looks expensive, but it's also comfortable, which is a must for any party plans involving eating and dancing into the early hours.
