Black Velvet Straight Leg Drawstring Trousers
The Velvet Trouser That Looks Expensive
Velvet is one of fashion's most reliably luxurious fabrics — the texture alone communicates quality and consideration. These straight-leg black velvet trousers with a drawstring waist combine that luxurious quality with genuine comfort, making them as practical as they are beautiful. Style with a fitted silk-effect top and heels for occasions, or wear more casually with a fitted knit for smart-casual dressing. For velvet trouser inspiration, visit Harper's Bazaar UK and Vogue UK.
