Velvet
Velvet has a certain vintage feel to it, it’s a fabric born far East, it’s one of the most difficult fabrics regarding production, therefore in past times this fabric was related to high class and was viewed as a symbol of elegance.
How to wear it?
It’s a safe bet for almost any special occasion due to its shine finish. It can a little more difficult to add to our everyday looks. Want an elegant and casual look? Don’t push velvet aside. Go for a velvet bomber with a sporty cut, combine it with a white shirt with writing on it, your favourite pair of jeans and some trainers or booties. If you would rather wear velvet on the bottom part of your outfit, try it with a turtleneck knit jumper that will balance the outfit giving it a more minimal flare. Also, dark tones (except black) are more versatile and discreet.
Corduroy
It holds certain similar traits with velvet, but with a more casual and street touch. This fabric is perfect for winter, it was first tough for male fashion but has ended up conquering all fashion types.
How to wear it?
The perfect choice for vintage lovers. For a more casual look choose thinner corduroy and combine it with a jumper in pastel colours. If you want to set the trend to choose thicker corduroy and wear it with a knit sweater and some riding boots. This will give it that “old school” touch that is so in right now.
Sherpa fabric
Accustomed to seeing it on the neckline of Levis denim jackets, sherpa fabric is here to stay.

Don’t settle just for the collar and invest in full Sherpa jacket like this one: the perfect trend for those of us who are always cold. It will add style, comfort and personality to your looks, it’s the safest bet for those cold winter days. To give it a more formal touch pair it with some faux leather pants and a chic shirt.
Satin
Elegance and delicacy are two of the main qualities of this fabric which originates in China. In these past years we have been able to see in on nightgowns, lingerie and dresses due to its soft touch but as of now, we can find it in all sorts of garments.
