"Knowing I’m likely to turn up in my favourite velvet jacket at my company’s Christmas party, my team reedits it in new shades hoping I’ll eventually succumb and make a change. This season I may do so. Tailored from lustrous, irresistibly tactile 100% cotton velvet, these jackets are perfect to bring out the lounge lizard within us. Now, which should I go for: brown or aubergine?"
