New Decade in Fashion:
Velvet's Strong Return
Trends in fashion move in a cyclical pattern. Hence, it is not uncommon for fashion styles, and articles thought to be of the past to make strong comebacks. As the year 2020 ushers in a new decade, smooth and sleek velvets are strongly returning to the fashion scene. From leather to quilting to flashes of velvet, the key winter pieces are not never-been-seen, but novel circumstances mean the trends will be worn differently than in years prior.
Velvets are woven, tufted fabrics in which the cut threads are evenly distributed with a short, dense pile, giving it a distinctive soft feel.
Velvets are traditionally made from silk materials. This, coupled with the complex process of making them form a pile, makes this evergreen fashion statement expensive. The costly nature of silk velvets and a host of other fashion-related changes led to their rarity. Although, the promulgation of cotton, linen, wool, and synthetic velvets now makes for readily available materials.
Velvets are sumptuous fabrics and can seem all elegant and luxurious, but it necessarily doesn't have to be. They can also fit well into casual looks, especially if you want to make a fashion statement. Velvets fashion comes in many shapes and sizes, and there are various ways to style them. Also, with the winter and holiday season just around the corner, a velvet dress might be just all the glamour you need.
Whether you decide to go for the bright and bold colors or just need the gentle and warm feel, there's no denying that there are a velvet fabric and style for you.
Aside from the fabrics and dresses, velvets accessories such as boots and bags are also available to choose from. A velvet boot offers you a perfect means to keep the feet warm and look great at the same time. Velvet bags are also available to match everyday outfits. They allow for customization such as badges and embroidered patches to showcase your style. So, whether it's a night out or a business meeting, velvets got you covered.
