Velvet came back in vogue last fall and winter, and the trend seems to have staying power. The plush fabric is often seen in jewel towns or grays and blacks, and is used on anything from dresses to accessories to full suits.
The increased interest this season in velvet is two-fold: Pinterest has noticed an 31% increase since last year in searches for the trend generally, and a 44% increase in searches for velvet shoes in particular.
