The ultimate velvet guide
The ultimate velvet guide
This Winter season’s best-loved fabric? Velvet, of course. There is something utterly decadent, incredibly luxurious and beautifully comforting about velvet when the temperatures drop. At once chic and reassuringly warm, it functions equally well as elevated loungewear to snuggle in at home, as it does adding an instant dash of glamour to any going-out look. Here is our guide to how to wear velvet, with an edit of some of our favourite Galvan velvet outfits, from street style to party chic, casual to red carpet. Find your ultimate velvet dresses, jumpsuits, suits and cover ups to rock the velvet trend in style.
