How we built this table: construction, fit and shell composition are taken word for word from each style’s page on solacelondon.com; colourways, prices and the sizes Coveti holds come from our live catalogue on 7 November 2026. Nothing is estimated. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell would read “Not published by the house”.

The two halter cuts

The Rumi, new for Fall Winter 2026, is a halter neck maxi with a pleated cross-over bodice and dramatic side trains, closed with a hook and eye at the neck. It is cut in a stretch knit crepe with a twill drape, which the house describes as designed to sculpt the body with stretch through the fabric. The Reynolds, from Resort 2027, is a strapless corseted maxi with halter neck straps and a sculptural ruffle overlay, and it fits more firmly: designed to sculpt the body with minimal stretch.

Choose the Rumi when you want movement and a softer hold, and the Reynolds when you want structure through the bodice.

Wearing a halter

A halter neck draws the eye to the shoulders and the back, so keep the neck clear: drop earrings work, a necklace usually does not. Hair up shows the line of the straps. A halter also sits well under a tailored coat in winter, because nothing at the shoulder is crushed. Our Solace London styling guide covers shoes and bags.
