Saks Fall Trend Report: Velvet Touch

Sponsor Content Created With Saks

While traditionally thought of as stuffy or dated, velvet felt especially modern and forward this season. Designers from Prada to Valentino produced an array of gorgeous velvet dresses, suits, and tops in a myriad of colorful hues, including deep purple, forest green, and vibrant mustard. As we've seen on the streets already, wearing this rich texture head to toe is incredibly chic and of the moment (e.g., a velvet suit), but a pop of the fabric—like a gorgeous pair of ankle boots—is just as stylish and forward. Regardless of how much of the fabric you decide to wear, incorporating some aspect of velvet into your fall look is one of the simplest ways to elevate your overall vibe.
