It’s always been a firm winter favourite but now velvet has become a seasonless choice. Victoria Beckham sent velvet in turquoise, lavender and other hot-weather hues down her spring/summer catwalk and the look has reached the High Street.

For summer, velvet is lightweight and the cuts relaxed: a belted blazer that updates a summer skirt or a duster jacket that looks great over cropped trousers.

With the weather leading us towards a sundress one day and a winter coat the next, a piece of summer velvet is the perfect solution.
