When the temperature drops, we just want to wrap up warm but also stay super stylish. For party season, the answer to this tricky balance comes in the form of a long sleeve velvet dress. What could be and feel more luxurious than indulgent velvet in rich autumnal shades?
Perfect for those after work drinks, Christmas parties or even a special NYE option, these beauties are also cosy enough to pair with tights and knee high boots for a smart day option too...
