Solace London Signature Styles: Kinsley, Lang, Kira, Olivia and the Icons Explained

Solace London names each dress after a person, and a few names come back season after season in new colours. The ones to know are the Kinsley strapless column, the Lang capped-sleeve column, the Kira one-shoulder maxi, the Olivia long-sleeved column, and the Floris, Rina, Dandridge and Pieta. The Icons range collects the brand’s best-known shapes.

If you have seen a Solace London dress you liked but cannot place it, this is the guide to the names. We have focused on the styles Coveti carries now, with what each one is, how it is cut and when to wear it.

What are the Solace London Icons?

Icons is a section on the brand’s own site, alongside its seasonal collections, Bridal and Modest. It groups the styles the label considers its signatures. In our edit, the Icons-tagged styles include the Kinsley, the Joni, the Cielo, the Alexis, the Britt, the Talia, the Viviana, the Maci, the Renee, the Arla and the Olivia. They span the brand’s main shapes, so the Icons are a good place to start if you are new to the label.

The Kinsley

The Kinsley Maxi Dress is a strapless column-style gown with a softly pleated bodice and a drape that wraps around the body. It is one of the most searched Solace London names, and for good reason: it is simple from the front and considered in profile, and it suits almost any black-tie event. We carry it in black and arctic blue.

The Lang

The Lang Maxi Dress is a body-conscious column with a capped sleeve and a moulded neckline, in medium weight stretch knit crepe, fully lined to sculpt the body. Because it stretches, the brand suggests taking your usual size, sizing down if you are between sizes for a closer fit. It is the plainest style on this list, which makes it the most versatile, and it comes in many colours including slate blue, ruby, gold and dark olive.

The Kira

The Kira Maxi Dress is a one-shoulder maxi in polyester with a single clean line from shoulder to floor. It is a strong first Solace London dress: the one-shoulder cut is easy to fit, and the shape works for black tie and smart evening weddings. Colours in our edit include black, red, pale pink, amethyst, raisin and lemon.

The Olivia

The Olivia Maxi Dress is a long-sleeved column with a high neck and a waterfall drape at the waist, in stretch knit crepe with a twill drape. It is tagged Modest and, in crimson red, Icons. It works for black tie, winter weddings and religious ceremonies, and it is one of the brand’s most useful dresses for that reason.

The Floris

The Floris Maxi Dress is a floor-length dress in polyester, tagged strapless, and in petal pink and silver also off the shoulder. Its colours run from petal pink and putty pink to silver, cocoa, opal and black.

The Rina

The Rina Maxi Dress is an off-the-shoulder maxi in polyester. Opal is a pale blue; it also comes in camellia pink, putty pink and blush, which makes it one of the softer styles for daytime and spring weddings.

The Dandridge

The Dandridge Maxi Dress is a strapless maxi with a boned bodice, a sculpted back, a deep fold and exaggerated pleats, in medium weight twill with subtle sheen. It is designed to skim the body with minimal stretch, and the brand suggests sizing up if you are between sizes. The cream version sits in the Bridal range.

The Pieta

The Pieta Maxi Dress is an off-the-shoulder maxi with a corseted bodice and a small peplum, in twill with subtle sheen, fully lined. It is designed to sculpt the body with minimal stretch. It comes in platinum, pale pink, black and damson.

The signature styles side by side

Older names you may be searching for

Some of the most searched Solace London names are earlier styles: the Franklin, Gaia, Liva, Elina, Lavinia, Kerama, Amara, Cassias, Riley and Adami among them. We list styles here only when Coveti carries them. Of that group we stock the Gaia, as a midi in soft pink, the Adami, a plisse-pleat maxi with a wide slash neck and kimono-style sleeves, an Elina crystal maxi and a Cassias maxi. Names come back in new versions, so a current Gaia is not necessarily cut like an older one.

The other names worth knowing

Beyond the main eight, a few more names appear across several colours in our edit. The Newman is a one-shoulder maxi in heavy satin with an asymmetric scarf and a floor-length sleeve. The Seri is a strapless corseted gown with a wrap-effect skirt. The Britt is a pleated strapless maxi and one of the Icons. The Cece, the Laylah and the Vera each come in several shades. Most of these share the brand’s twin signatures, a bare shoulder and a structured bodice.

The most searched names we stock

Beside the Kinsley and the Kira, covered above, these are the Solace London names people search for most often, measured across the US, the UK, Australia and the UAE. Each one is on Coveti now, in the colours listed.

The Elina

It is the most searched of them all. The Elina Crystal Maxi Dress in Black is a floor-length crystal-embellished maxi from Resort 2025. Embellished fabric does not stretch, so if you are between sizes the larger one is the safer choice.

The Adami

The Adami Maxi Dress in Powder Pink is cut in the brand’s plisse pleat, with a wide slash neckline and exaggerated kimono-style sleeves. It is tagged Modest at source, and it is the softest, least sculpted shape on this list.

The Cassias

A strapless maxi from Pre-Fall 2025. Coveti carries the Cassias Maxi Dress in Acai, a dark berry purple that suits winter black tie.

The Bysha

A strapless, body-sculpting maxi with a split at the centre front, in polyester with 5% elastane. We stock the Bysha in soft pink and the Bysha in black.

The Imani

A strapless maxi that has run across more than one Resort season. Our edit has the Imani in plum, the Imani in wisteria and the Imani in soft pink.

The Lucille

A strapless maxi in 100% polyester from Spring Summer 2026. Coveti carries it in lavender, slate blue and chesnut; chesnut is the brand’s own spelling.

The Joni

A full-length column gown with harness-style shoulder straps, in polyester with 5% elastane. The Joni in black is tagged Icons; we also carry the Joni in dark rose.

The Tiffany

A strapless maxi in 100% polyester from Fall Winter 2025. Coveti has the Tiffany Maxi Dress in Peony Pink, a warm mid pink that reads well at an evening wedding.

The Alessandra

Searched most in Australia. The Alessandra is a strapless floor-length gown with a contrasting drop waist, and we stock it in arctic blue and powder pink.

Six of these nine are strapless. If you are choosing between them, read the fabric line: the Bysha and Joni include 5% elastane, while the Lucille and Tiffany are 100% polyester.

Fabrics across the signature styles

The signature styles fall into two families. The twill styles, such as the Dandridge and Pieta, are crisp, with a subtle sheen and minimal stretch; they hold sculpted shapes and need a precise size. The stretch knit crepe styles, such as the Lang and Olivia, are matte and close fitting; they move with you and are the more comfortable choice for a long event. Knowing which family a style belongs to tells you most of what you need about how it will fit.

How names and colours work

Each product name follows the same pattern: the style, the length, then the shade, such as “The Kira Maxi Dress in Raisin”. The style name stays the same across colours, so once you know your size in one Kira, you know it in all of them. Midaxi, used on styles such as the Renee and Kiki, is the brand’s term for a length between midi and maxi.

Signature styles by occasion

For a black-tie gala, the Kinsley and the Dandridge. For an evening wedding, the Kira and the Lang. For a religious ceremony, the Olivia. For a daytime wedding in spring, the Rina in a pale shade. For a formal dinner, the Pieta. For a party, the Floris. These pairings are a starting point; every one of these styles comes in more than one colour, and the colour can move a dress up a dress code as easily as the shape can.

Buying a signature style in a second colour

Because the pattern stays the same across colours, a signature style is a safe second purchase. If the Kira fitted you well in black, it will fit you the same in red. Many women build a small wardrobe of one style in two shades, one dark for evening and one pale for daytime, which saves time before every event.

Which one to buy first

For most people, the Kira. It is easy to fit and suits most formal events. For a sharper shape, the Kinsley. For coverage, the Olivia. For the strongest construction, the Dandridge. Check the fit note and our Solace London size guide first, and read our Solace London gowns guide for the wider range. Every style above is on the Solace London brand page.
