What was once just considered a textile, today has been hailed as one of the 'IT' trends of 2017. Also, velvet was a material considered by most only to be worn in cooler climates however, the plush textile is increasingly been worn all year long as demoed by fashion influencers globally. The material can definitely be considered an ostentatious fabric since it has been worn by royalty and nobility alike. However, we've increasingly been spotting some of our Bollywood beauties too, work velvet in glam style. Want to know how to sport the fabric like a celebrity? Here's how...

If you want to sport velvet for a casual look or for a night-out we suggest you work it like Pooja. Don a velvet maxi skirt and add those casual vibes with a basic white cropped T-shirt. The velvet skirt will help add those party-vibes to your look and the basic crop-top will balance it out, keeping it casual. You could opt for a tie-up maxi like Pooja's or one with a high split..or even two! Complete the look with gladiator flats or even sneakers and you'll be set to impress.

For all of you who want to work the fabric for the wedding season, sport it like Kriti. Work a heavily embellished lehenga and team it with a plain velvet blouse. The velvet will lend that richness to your look as also help balance out the overall look aptly. You could work a trendy cold-shouldered blouse like Kriti or even an off-shoulder one! It's a fool-proof way to garner praises this season, trust us.


Not inspired enough? Well, Who better to show you how to work the fabric than THE fashionista herself! Sport a dress with just a small but trendy velvet accent like Kangana's velvet bodice and if this doesn't get heads turning...we don't know what will! Girls, give this plushy movement your approval and work velvet this season.
