This season sees the return of velvet, and itÂ’s gone all grown up. This luxurious material has shed its dowdy image, replaced by sophisticated feminine cocktail dresses, beautifully cut tailored jackets exploring the jewel-like tones that light up your look. This look works best for the evening.

Top tip: If a dress is too much, invest in a fitted velvet jacket to take you through the season.

Buy from: Kew, £36. This cute cami is available in a choice of four stunning colours.
