Velvet Trainers To Lust After

Does the trend for velvet trainers even make sense? At first, it may seem contradictory. Trainers, after all, are meant for practicality and even performance. They're made for running around, for keeping your feet comfortable and for being as low-maintenance as possible. Velvet, in all its grandeur, seems more suited to upholstery or an evening dress. Think again – velvet trainers are actually huge business at the moment and they're much easier to wear than you might think.

As long as you're avoiding rain, these shoes help to jazz up jeans and a jumper, plus they're suitable to wear with a midi dress after-dark. In fact, they're a great alternative to party shoes and are endlessly more comfortable. Take that, heels.
