The Row flats at Coveti
1. Soft Loafer Two
Artisanally-crafted loafer in paneled eelskin leather with natural pleating effect and hand-painted leather sole. 100% Eelskin Leather, made in Italy. Eelskin has a fine ridged texture that catches the light, and it is softer than calfskin from the first wear.
2. Safi Slip On in Fudge
Slip-on shoe in plush velvet with squared toe, low stacked heel, and leather sole. 100% Cotton, made in Italy. Fudge is a warm mid brown; velvet this dense looks good with grey flannel and navy.
3. Safi Slip On in Charcoal
Slip-on shoe in plush velvet with squared toe, low stacked heel, and leather sole. 100% Cotton, made in Italy. Charcoal velvet reads almost black in low light, which makes it the more formal of the two.

How to wear them
Wear The Row flats the way the house shows them: under a long trouser that breaks on the top of the foot, such as the Lowe Pant in Black, with straight jeans like the Dinni Jean cut at the ankle, and with long skirts. Velvet slip ons look right at night with the Lew Skirt in Black Velvet. Keep the rest plain: a fine knit, a long coat, one bag.

How to care for eelskin and velvet
Eelskin is treated by hand and should be wiped with a soft dry cloth; keep it away from water and heat. Brush cotton velvet gently in the direction of the pile to lift it, and store both pairs in their dust bags with tissue in the toe.

What Is a Sheath Dress? Fit, Shape and How to Wear It
A sheath dress is a fitted, straight dress with no waist seam that follows the line of the body from shoulder to hem, shaped by darts and seams rather than by a gathered skirt. Among designer dresses it is the most tailored silhouette, closer to a suit than to a party frock, and it usually ends at the knee. The Clash Cruise 2027 dresses from Zimmermann at Coveti help show where the sheath ends and its softer neighbours begin.
Cocktail Dress: What It Is, Lengths and Dress Code
A cocktail dress is a dress cut for early evening parties, and most designer cocktail dresses fall between the knee and the midi line, dressier than a day dress and lighter than a floor length gown. The new Clash Cruise 2027 dresses from Zimmermann at Coveti show the idea well: lace trim, silk, soft volume and a hem that ends somewhere around the calf.
Olive Green Dress Outfits: Colours, Shoes and Jewellery
An olive green dress pairs best with warm neutrals and earth tones: chocolate, camel, cream, cognac and gold, with burgundy and rust for contrast. Among designer maxi dresses, olive works because it behaves like a neutral yet still reads as colour, so the outfit around it can stay simple. The Clash Cruise 2027 greens from Zimmermann at Coveti, olive, sage, bottle green and dark olive, make a useful palette to build from.
How to Wear Platform Heels: Hems, Straps and Outfits
To wear platform heels well, let the hem of your trousers skim the top of the shoe, give the outfit enough weight above the ankle to balance the thicker sole, and fasten an ankle strap on any tall style. A platform is a raised sole under the front of the foot; because it lifts the ball of the foot along with the heel, the slope you stand on is gentler than the heel height suggests. That is why a tall platform often walks more easily than a stiletto of the same number, and why the new satin pair from Zimmermann at Coveti makes such a useful worked example for the season ahead.
How to Wear a Lariat Necklace: 6 Ties and Necklines
A lariat is one of the designer necklaces with no clasp: a long length of chain, cord and beads that you wear by draping, wrapping, knotting and threading one end through a loop, so it falls into a Y shape at the front. To wear a lariat necklace, choose the tie that suits your neckline, let the drop land at the centre of the body and keep earrings and rings in the same metal so the whole look reads as one. The newest example at Zimmermann at Coveti is a wrap cord style set with natural stones.
Trench Coat for Women: How to Style, Tie and Size It
A trench coat is a belted, double breasted coat cut from tightly woven cotton, and the edit of designer trench coats and wool coats shows how far that shape now stretches, from the classic knee length cut to full length versions with sculpted sleeves. To style one, match the coat length to the hem underneath, tie the belt with intent instead of letting it hang, and size for the thickest knit you plan to wear beneath it. The worked examples in this guide come from the Cruise 2027 tailoring at Zimmermann at Coveti.
