If you thought tartan took the biscuit for Winter's favourite fabric, then you'd almost be right.
Instead, it's velvet that really has us enamoured. Often put out by smaller niche brands such as Batsheva and The Vampire's Wife, as well as on the Versace, Gucci and Marques' Almeida AW18 runways, the sumptuous fabric reads luxe, whilst also keeping you seasonally toasty.
Whether your budget is £20 or £2000, we've got the goods for you.
