ES Style: Velvet

Velvet is definitely the autumn/winter trend. Never miss year in, year out - it always there in store everytime the season made its way. Yet this time I think it really has gone for a full force, coz not only they're seen on the blazers, but also on casual jackets, pants and even loafers. Do I like velvet? Simple answer is yes. They're much better than corduroy (which I find it very hard to maintain) and much classier than moleskin. And they're definitely look very luxurious with its multifaceted shine. Period. And you can even see in my previous post on various types of velvet blazers that I've tried.

So. In the previous issue of ES magazine, velvet made its cut. Very nice indeed especially when the lookbook put together a series of black and its hues to pair it with. I love the tipped velvet blazer on the top left. Nice cut with one-button. Look very slimfitting too. You can get cheap at H&M. And the deerskin gloves, if you wanna find a cheaper version - the one at Calvin Klein, Regent St that I went for a snoop yesterday felt utterly soft (and just under £50!). Patent oxford shoe - my personal pick is always Dolce & Gabbana coz they're famous for that. Or get at Zara coz it's much dearer to the wallet.

Whatever your choice, you must always look fierce! :D
(That's Tyra Banks' fav word - fierce)
