Velvet is the trend that just won't end, and this season, there is no such thing as a wrong way to wear it. The velvet blazer is an easy entry to the luxe fabric; team it with denim for a pared-down look, or use one to top a party dress for a more festive alternative to your usual Winter coat. Saint Laurent is the go-to brand if you have the cash to splash, perfectly tailoring the tuxedo-style jacket to suit anyone who tries it on. But if your budget won't stretch to a designer purchase, don't worry, as the high street offers up plenty of options from as little as £20. Shop our favourites now, and get ready to take the smoking jacket to stylish new heights.
