Velvet is undoubtedly the texture of the season, and if you haven’t added any to your Fall/Winter 2017 wardrobe yet, now is the time to join in: Cute options about at every price point, and temperatures have actually dropped after an absurdly long summer, so we can finally rock the cozier pieces.   Go for a dress for an easy intro to the trend, or a statement pleated skirt (like the one I wore for NYFW or the jewel tone Eloquii one above) for major impact you can mix and match.  If you are in a hotter climate, I’ve included some strappy and lightweight velvet picks so you can get in on the fun too.
