This season, it’s all about the glamour. From sumptuous velvets and jewel-toned jacquards to shimmering sequins and rich corduroys, we show you how to wear the luxury fabrics of AW17.
Jacquard
A fabric that was originally reserved for royalty, jacquard re-emerges as we move into party season, offering show-stopping pieces with a maximalist aesthetic. Turn up the glamour with this high-voltage hero dress, woven with a lustrous jacquard pattern in molten gold, soft pink and deep fuschia. Let it take centre stage with minimal styling – think black block heels and a simple clutch bag.
Corduroy
Corduroy has made a cool comeback for AW17, eschewing its buttoned-up reputation for something decidedly more modern. Welcome the trend back into your wardrobe with these black cord dungarees, designed with a wide-leg silhouette that is both flattering and fashion-forward. Style it over a shirt or blouse and finish with a pair of flats.
Sequins
Sequins step it up a notch for the new season, with delicate adornments giving way to all-over embellishments that are sure to steal the spotlight. Elevate your after-dark entrance with this sequin embellished jacket, cut for a boxy, structured fit with a nipped-in waist. Team it with an LBD or – for a statement-making look – wear it with wide-leg silhouettes.
Velvet Devoré
Cosmic Paisley Devore Midi Dress, £119
Velvet is a favourite of the colder months, lending an air of opulence to the most simplistic silhouettes. Wear the trend in a new way for the season ahead with this velvet devoré midi dress, crafted with plush, textured paisley patterns on smooth black fabric. Complete the look with semi-sheer tights and metallic block heels – perfect for party season invites.
