How to Wear... Velvet Flares

Disco divas, it's time to ditch the shiny skinnies for a new trew... And, as I see it, velvet flares boast two main selling points to put them strides ahead of the rest of the party trouser pack - (1) their extreme snuggliness - and (2) their unapologetic "dug from the dressing up box" extravagance - yes, they make me feel a bit like a Bee Gee, but that's half the fun.

At £12.99, you can afford to take a chance on these H&M beauts... and throw in their co-ordinating turtle-neck for good measure. Having misspent an inordinate proportion of my youth in Juicy-dupe trackies, I didn't think I'd ever "do the double" again, but hey, if you're gonna go there, why not go for broke..?

But they're so cosy (and so much fun), it would be a crime to save them for Crimbo... enter my new favourite chunky knit... daytime velvet, sorted.
