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.
What Is a Clutch Bag? Types, Sizes and How to Carry One
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 vs Aviator Sunglasses: The Difference Explained
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.
How to Wear Paisley Print: Colours, Rules and Outfits
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.
