Styling Guidance

The black velvet finish on the Pauline makes it a natural match for tailored trousers, a midi skirt, or a wrap dress for evening occasions. Velvet has a depth of colour that works particularly well against jewel tones, so consider pairing with emerald, burgundy or deep navy pieces for party season. For work or daytime smart-casual wear, keep it simple with black or grey tailoring and let the block heel and square toe do the talking.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, midi skirts, wrap dresses, smart-casual separates
• Colour palette: black, emerald, burgundy, navy, charcoal grey
