You probably noticed that velvet was a major theme on the Fall 2016 runway, popping up in shows like Balmain, Dries Van Noten, and Stella McCartney. If you're feeling excited about this luxe fabric and don't want to wait to wear it, not to worry. Even though we're only halfway through Summer, you can start easing into your favorite velvet pieces right now.
For some runway-to-street style inspiration, we looked to models like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin, who are already embracing the trend in full force. They've been spotted in rich, colored booties and slip dresses, all of which take velvet to the next level. Ahead, see how your favorite ladies worked the trend into their outfits and then shop for your own velvet pieces.
Hailey gives her nod of approval to the Fall velvet trend by slipping into this deep-cut emerald dress while out in NYC.
When searching for a comfy, velvet piece we suggest going with a suit option. Pixie wore a black set to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in England and looked quite cozy.
Gigi mastered all the trends when she wore this denim-on-denim look with a pair of eye-catching red booties.
If Gigi has a pair of velvet shoes, you can bet Kendall has one too. The model chose to pair hers with cutoff denim shorts, a white crop tee, and a cool fringe jacket.
Emma showed up at the MTV Fandom Awards wearing a sexy maroon dress, which convinced us we kind of need one STAT.
