How Coveti Styles the Valiant Handkerchief Dress
Gemma Deeks, Coveti’s Fashion Editor, recommends styling the Zimmermann Valiant Handkerchief Dress in Multicolour with confidence and considered restraint. Romantic prints and luminous textures already do the talking, so accessories should sit quietly alongside the piece rather than compete with it.
- Rectangle: Use a slim belt or wrap silhouette to draw the eye to the waist. The Valiant Handkerchief Dress in Multicolour layers beautifully over a fitted base for added shape.
- Hourglass: Lean into fitted bodices and waist-defining details. Allow the 92% silk, 8% elastane to skim rather than cling for a refined Zimmermann line.
- Tall: Maxi lengths and column proportions elongate effortlessly. Tiered or bias detail on this Dresses reads as gracefully proportioned on taller frames.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, shorter hemlines, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Valiant Handkerchief Dress help balance a petite frame without overwhelming it.
