There is no comeback I’ve loved more than velvet. A winter-wedding wardrobe classic, my earliest memory of the fabric goes back to middle school, when my mother had my first tailored party frock made in a rich burgundy velvet. Velvet carries a sense of childhood nostalgia for me. Yet, I often wonder which trend swept in so strongly that it quietly pushed this timeless fabric into the background.
I bet, it is the ultra-richness of the fabric and its opulent texture that make it a clear winner for cold-weather festivities. And with its long-awaited comeback, it’s time to celebrate velvet in all its glory; reimagined for modern wardrobes while still holding on to its timeless charm. With wedding season in full swing, we know your invitations are piling up and sleepless nights are being spent planning the perfect guest look. To make things easier (and far more glamorous), we’ve rounded up our favourite velvet sarees that promise maximum impact with minimal effort.
