$Nicholas Kirkwood Island Tex Velvet Pump$ If you want to breathe new life into your favourite little black dress, or need some festive chic with your casual evening look, velvet shoes are the perfect new season trend! And since the end of October is only a couple of weeks away, you can consider this a holiday update as well..

Luxe textures like brocade and jacquard are key this season, and it's no surprise to see the trend carry over to footwear as well - rich bold shades of red, purple and blue in an assortment of styles, both formal and casual. If you have a number of events to attend in the coming weeks, a new velvet shoe will update your look in a flash, whether you choose a statement pump, or delicate strappy sandal. Nicholas Kirkwood, Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo, Brian Atwood, Giuseppe Zanotti - all the major designers have something in velvet to oblige this season.

And you may have noticed the loafer trend this season... you don't need a smoking jacket to wear these luxe slipper-style flats. Wear them casual with skinny jeans and top, or mix and match your textures with leather pants and an evening knit. If you happen to be hosting a number of dinner parties over the holiday season, these flats are perfect! Last but not not least, trendy urban girls will have to have velvet high tops - Gienchi and Christian Louboutin have the most spectacular studded sneakers online now (Gienchi will suit the more budget-minded, without sacrificing quality and style).
