Winter 2008 Fashion TrendsVelvet has become such a winter staple that calling it a trend feels wrong. The sumptuous fabric is so cozy and glamorous there’s no need to sacrifice style for comfort. The ultra-feminine vibe means that it pairs well with another popular trend this season: winter florals. A velvet blazer in a flattering silhouette gussies up your denim or pulls together a wrap dress in a snap.
If your coloring is Bright or Deep, look for a rich jewel tone, while Lights and Cools look great in icy pastels. Warm? Look for a shade with a golden undertone like olive or pumpkin. Those who are Muted will look smashing in a heather grey or mauve rose. Not sure what we mean by all of this? Complete your Color Profile to find out!
The best bit of advice we could give is less is more; one piece is better than a whole outfit – Austin Powers is hilarious but a style icon? Not so much.
If you want to dip your toe in the trend try a headband a la Blair Waldorf or the Olsen twins for an affordable modern update.

Wearing a vintage velvet skirt that a lovely coworker bestowed upon me - and have already been told it looks like it came from Anthropologie!
I adore velvet, especially for shoes and coats - that J. Crew jacket is fab!

Oo, velvet leggings - how decadent!
I like your picks (but don't think I could pull off the leggings). I have a couple of velvet blazers & recently bought a lovely velvet clutch. Love 'em :)
