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.
