Dark shades and velvet make a perfect combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match dark hues – green, red, navy and black team well for an outstanding look. We believe in a full-on velvet look, from clothing to accessories, to fully embrace the hottest trend of the season. Wide-legged trousers are a great option when choosing soft velvet bottoms. CASUAL VELVETEEN Velvet does have glamour status, however, some designers have managed to incorporate it into street-style successfully.
