The men's apres ski outfit, layer by layer: knitwear, warm trousers, boots and shearling, built from Brunello Cucinelli's Winter Edit with Yves Salomon, Moncler and Herno.
White pants go with almost every colour, so the easiest outfits pair them with a soft shirt in a pastel, denim blue, navy, camel and gold, finished with tan, metallic and nude shoes. Keep the top looser than the pant, match the shoe to your skin tone and let one accessory carry the colour. For a worked example, see how Zimmermann styles white this season, then browse the full edit of designer pants for women.
A clutch bag is a small handbag designed to be held in the hand, tucked under the arm, and carried without a long strap, which is where the name comes from: you clutch it. It holds only the essentials, usually a phone, a card holder, keys and a lipstick, and it is the classic bag for weddings, dinners and evening events. See the Zimmermann bags at Coveti and our full edit of designer clutch bags for the shapes described below.
Navigator and aviator sunglasses are close cousins in thin metal, and the difference sits in the top line of the lens. An aviator has a teardrop lens that dips low toward the cheek, while a navigator flattens that top edge into a straighter brow bar with a squarer lens, so it reads sharper and more graphic on the face. For a navigator with a softer, feminine finish, start with Zimmermann and then browse the wider edit of designer sunglasses for women.
To wear paisley print, let one paisley piece lead the outfit and build everything else from the quietest colour in the print, so a navy paisley skirt takes a plain navy, ivory and soft lemon top. Keep the rest of the look solid, add texture through denim, silk and leather instead of a second busy pattern, and finish with warm gold. Paisley is a favourite print at Zimmermann, and a designer midi skirt is the easiest place to start.
A gold heels outfit works best when the shoe is the only metallic in the look and the clothes stay in calm, grounded colours: black, navy, white, cream, blush and deep jewel tones all sit beautifully against gold. Pair a strappy gold sandal with a slip dress for evening, a printed midi skirt for a garden party, and crisp cotton tailoring by day. The Zimmermann collection at Coveti and our edit of designer sandals show the shapes that make this easy.
To style an organza top, layer it over something opaque, a slip being the simplest choice, then balance its crisp volume with a clean bottom like straight jeans, tailored trousers and a fluid midi skirt. Keep jewellery small and let the sheen of the fabric do the work. The easiest way to see it done well is the new Zimmermann organza shirt, and the full range of designer tops for women at Coveti.
To style a midi skirt, match the top to the skirt's volume: a fitted, tucked top balances a full skirt, while a looser shirt suits a slim, straight skirt. Mark the waist, then choose shoes that show a little ankle, like a sandal and a ballet flat, switching to a boot that meets the hem in cooler months. For worked examples, we use pieces from Zimmermann and the wider edit of designer midi skirts.
To style a denim shirt, pick one way to wear it: buttoned and tucked into a skirt, knotted at the waist over a dress, open like a light jacket, half tucked into white trousers. Pair it with one contrasting texture such as silk, lace and crisp cotton drill, and if you wear denim on the bottom too, change the wash so the two pieces do not look like a uniform. Our worked examples come from Zimmermann, alongside the wider edit of designer shirts.
To style a cropped denim jacket, wear it with anything that sits at your natural waist: high waisted trousers and jeans, midi and maxi skirts, and dresses with a defined waist. The short hem should meet the top of the bottom half, so the jacket frames your waist instead of cutting you in half. The Zimmermann collection at Coveti and our edit of designer jackets show the cropped shapes this works with.
A butter yellow outfit is built around a soft, creamy pale yellow, and it looks best paired with warm neutrals such as ivory, camel and tan, cool partners such as navy and denim blue, and gold accessories. Keep the yellow to one piece, two at most, near the face, such as a sheer shirt, and ground it with ivory trousers and a metallic sandal. The Zimmermann collection at Coveti and our edit of designer tops are good places to find the shade.
