If there’s any indication that men’s fashion is going through a ‘70s moment, it’s that velvet is back - we’re talking casual and colourful velvet that you can wear on more than just special occasions. Luxuriously smooth, soft to the touch and always equipped with a subtle sheen, velvet is a statement fabric that will get you noticed even as a casual statement.
Today, not only are designers making velvet tailoring look better than ever before, but they’re also bringing velvet to outerwear, shirts, sweatpants and even shoes that channel just the right amount of decadence. From the likes of Haider Ackermann, Saint Laurent and Tom Ford the designers are just a few who have notably played no small role in turning velvet into a fashion staple this AW18 both on the runway as well as the highstreet.
