Velvet has always been a mainstay for fall/winter. But this time, it’s having an extended moment well into spring and summer.
Many designers — from Stella McCartney to Victoria Beckham — are starting to see the potential for this lush texture to be worn beyond the winter season.
As this trend continues going strong, celebrities from Rita Ora to Kendall Jenner, Olivia Palermo to Lily Donaldson are jumping on the velvet bandwagon, along with the rest of the fashion crowd spotted on the streets of Milan, Paris, and New York.
Watch how this winter staple shapes up for summer:

4. Slip into Velvet
Slip dresses are equal parts sultry and and elegant. Dial them up a notch by opting for a velvet slip dress. For day, add a graphic tee underneath and pair with sneakers. For night, simply switch your kicks for a pair of strappy heels ankle booties and throw on a slouchy sweater a la Rihanna.
Try this style.
