Velvet

By Zoyaa Mahmood Baig Coordinated by Sana Zehra

Velvet is the one winter trend that hits all the right notes, and one we can’t help but want to join this band wagon. Oozing sumptuous royalty and cozy warmth in one, it’s a fabric that not only looks fabulous but evokes an image of wealth, femininity and sensuousness.

We just can’t get enough, whether in the form of accessories or in head to toe velvet separates. Here are some of our picks of looks that have made it to the top of our velvet goals this winter:

Alishay Adnan

Alishay’s super chic and athleisure inspired velvet seperates by Rema Shehrbano prove to us that velvet doesn’t have to be restricted to formal looks. This outfit is a breath of fresh air

Amna Baber

If you can’t commit to head to toe velvet, make like Amna Baber with a cute velvet crop top paired with flowing trousers.

Maha Hussain

Maha Hussain is regal and beautiful in this crushed pink coloured velvet blazer and trousers paired with the stunning embellished coat by Sana Safinaz. The slick hair and smokey eyes just add a whole other dimension to it. We can’t get over how amazing this looks.

Ghana Ali

Ghana Ali adds a touch of luxe with this Rum & Harry midnight blue velvet cut out top. Paired with boyfriend jeans and wavy hair, the style speaks of easy “I just threw this on” glam.

Alishay

An Eastern velvet look by Mina Hasan that Alishay dons to perfection. Elegant and modern, the worked velvet culottes do all the talking.

Rema Taseer

Rema Taseer looks elegant and refined in a velvet kameez paired with flared pants. This outfit shows restraint and class and the maala (of her own design) remains the focus piece of the look.

Sana Ansari

Sana Ansari’s blue velvet luxe trousers bring some everyday glam to a layered winter look. Might we add that this is street style at its finest.

Rubya Choudhry

Rubya Choudhry wears a head to toe sleek velvet classic Kamiar Rokni design. Here the rich fabric works well with the well placed gold.

Palwasha Yousuf

Palwasha Yousuf’s all black Sania Maskatiya blazer and trouser look has us drooling. The sleek cut oozes a fresh take on 90s chic minimalism.

Anoushey Ashraf

Anoushey’s velvet, embellished Misha Lakhani blazer turns heads and does all the talking. The embellishment takes the simple cut to another level.

Hanieh

Hanieh Amir’s avant garde Hussein Bazaza dress combines a velvet bodice with a printed A-line skirt. The look is not for the faint of heart, but we feel Hanieh completely owned it.
