Velvet is making its mark

The great strength of velvet lies in its colours, we mix them without second thought. For a classy look and a vintage touch, the velvet goes khaki, beige or brown… The more assertive silhouettes will shine with pink, orange, fir green or petroleum blue.

As overcoat: Down jackets and trench coats pair with it to keep us warm. We nod in front of the short down jacket and gloat in front of a ribbed trench coat.
As pants: A great comeback from the 70s, the ribs are back. We prefer them flare in warm shades.
As dress: Smooth and black, always expect to make an impression. For those who like long dresses, opt for colourful prints, to be combined with low boots for a bohemian look.
As sweat: Very soft, the fabric brings chicness to the traditional home sweat home.
As accessories: So essential, velvet invites itself from low boots to sandals, bags and scarves.
Arlettie’s piece of advice: Velvet goes perfectly with beautiful gemstones, use the opportunity to dive back into your jewelry box!
