Velvet Brings Soft Knits, Cool Cuts to Summer
I still remember when I purchased my first Velvet by Graham and Spencer t-shirt back in '03. It was a white v-neck and soft as heck. The brand is still known for its cozy basics, but has since grown into something much, much better. In addition to cool tees and tanks, Velvet offers up a bevy of flirty frocks, vintage-inspired blouses, and sweet cardis. Its latest Summer collection — modeled by the beautiful Lily Aldridge — is blossoming with pretty possibilities. After all, what girl wouldn't want to slip on this exotic Batik print dress?
