Velvet, velvet, velvet. Here's 21 celebs who are owning the touchable sheen
Each year, as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, there's one fabric that always sees itself creep back into our wardrobes: velvet.
And a divisive fabric it is: there's never been a finer line between feeling like you're wearing your nan's cushions and stepping out as a 17th century royal in all their luxe grandeur.
Worn right, velvet should become your go-to for the festive season. Add a velvet blazer over a fun shirt for an easy Christmas party look or go for a grungy velvet slip dress for that New Years Eve night out. On that note, make sure you see our edit of the best velvet pieces of 2017.
