Velvet in fall is like florals in spring; we've seen it before, and chances are high that we'll see it again every single year hereafter. That being said, there are certain moments when florals and velvet are more on-trend than usual, and thus more abundant in stores and on the streets. And for velvet, 2016 is one of those glory years.
