Be gone, skimpy silk slip dresses of summer! For the crisp beginnings of fall, the transitional fall 2016 trend of evening wear calls for something much more lush: velvet. After all, the rich fabric was a staple on the Fall 2016 runways, taking form in sweeping silhouettes, ranging from an emerald pantsuit at Haider Ackermann to a jolt of head-turning yellow in a turtleneck dress at Valentino. To welcome the season—and even get a head start during these last-leg-of-summer nights—try a velvet swing skirt or a softly draped top. Step into velvet footwear, like an ankle boot or a ballerina flat, or if you’re looking for just a touch of texture, wear it as a rich shoulder bag, and carry it with you into the night and beyond.
This fall 2016 trend is every Prime Woman’s friend. Velvet has a plush pile that absorbs light and softens silhouettes. Many women shy away from this luxuriously sensuous fabric because they afraid it will add girth. You are wrong mon amie! This fabric has fluidity and a glamorous old world feel even when styled in the latest trends for fall/winter.
Here, see the best ways to wear this fall trend in the evening:
