11 Weirdly Amazing Velvet Things From The '90s

Ah, the '90s: The glorious heyday of all things velvet. It was a major trend back in the day — when you think about it, there were tons of weirdly amazing things made out of velvet in the '90s. Nowadays, we associate it mainly with goths and grunge, but it was actually a pretty big staple in all walks of life — everyone from Cher Horowitz, to The Spice Girls, to Blossom was in on the trend.

It makes sense — after all, velvet adds a touch of glamour to just about anything, and it also happens to be pretty darn comfy and soft (especially if you went with the stretch velour that was oh-so-popular circa '95). Plus, it popped up in many different forms, from slinky slip dresses, to cheetah-printed boots, to floppy hats (I'm looking at you, Blossom).

Think of the '90s as a something of a velvet utopia, where the fabric thrived all over the trends of the day — luckily for us, it's a look that's definitely coming around the mountain (just ask Karlie Kloss). So, with that in mind, let's take a look at 11 truly awesome velvet clothes and accessories from the days of yore.
