If you’re not on board with velvet this season, I’d like to convince you otherwise. While velvet has not always had positive connotations (think bad formal dresses, or those sweet matching tracksuits), the variety of pieces that are now incorporating this texture/fabric are versatile and grown up enough to make you forget its previous associations. If you’re on the fence about velvet, try testing the water in small doses, like those sneakers with the edgy zipper detail. Subtle? Yes. On trend and ultra cool? Yes and yes. Rest assured, the velvet trends this season are anything but traumatizing.
