The main material of the autumn: 25 things from velveteen
Text: Anya Krotikova
The pursuit of fashion for comfort, it seems, will not stop: after the "working" clothes like comfortable trousers, jackets with a lot of pockets or durable shoes velvet came out on the podium. Durable and easy-care material today adorns the shirts and dresses (including those that could have been called evening clothes), outerwear, and even accessories.
Shirts
Corduroy shirts this fall firmly occupied a niche outerwear, the benefit in the middle lane is warm. However, even for frosty winter days, an oversized shirt is quite a comfortable option if you wear it in the style of a puff cake, complementing it with a down vest, sweater and wide scarf. If you are ready to go beyond the canonical combo “blue jeans, t-shirt and corduroy”, play with the textures and add a silk skirt with a leopard print or a dress with a python pattern to the material.
Trousers
Wide, shortened or flared - a single recognized length and style does not exist. When choosing a model to your liking, make a start from the original wardrobe and your plans for the season. For the office, more plugs are muffled natural shades, for walking with children - wide trousers with lots of pockets, and for noisy parties - two-color options. We vote for the "father's" option - brown pants with a high waistline.
Dresses
Designers present the velvet dress in different ways: the mass market turns the trend into utilitarian and everywhere appropriate sundresses or long shirts in which you can easily go to the office. Grand brands have elegant midi with puffy sleeves and muted colors, and frankly royal outfits with frills.
Skirts
Velvet skirts are both a reference to the 60th (mini) and 70th (midi), and the item that your mother probably keeps with great care (in the 90s, velvet caught another revival). You can search for a model with history today in a second-hand, vintage showroom or with parents on the mezzanine, and the sleek A-line skirt is waiting for you at the nearest mass market. In order to make friends with this material with everyday wardrobe, there will be no problems - single velveteen is well combined with all the trendy things: with worn Cossacks and a white blouse, and with suede jack-up boots and a turtleneck noodle.
Accessories
Why limit yourself to just one velvet object if you can collect a total bow? It seems that this is how the designers reasoned, firing models in velvet caps and panama, ankle boots and even with ribbed bags on the catwalk. Most of all we like the nostalgic volume hair tie from velvet - it's time to put it into action to create a retro "palm" or "ear". By the way, that day is not far off when caps and caps from velvet from the 2000s will once again be on the shelves of stores - but nothing prohibits wearing them now.
