With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, many of us are thinking about how to celebrate — whether that’s a candlelit dinner, a weekend getaway or a casual coffee date. While planning where to go and what gifts to buy is important, there’s also the question of what to wear for the occasion.
If you’re looking for something effortlessly romantic, we’ve found a stunning vintage-inspired blouse from Ghost that might fit the bill. This white cotton blouse is the ideal blend of classic and contemporary, featuring a double broderie anglaise frill, which gives it a romantic, feminine feel and lace detailing on the yoke and cuffs.
It’s a unique take on the classic white blouse — delicate and ethereal but still endlessly versatile. Whatever your plans, the fit — which also comes in black — can be styled in multiple ways.
For a fancy dinner date, tuck it into a flowing satin midi skirt and finish it with strappy heels, a sleek low bun and a bold red lip for a timeless look. If you’re going for a casual coffee or brunch date, pair it with straight-leg jeans and ballet flats for an effortlessly chic vibe.
Going away for the weekend? Style the blouse with high-waisted jeans and knee-high boots, then throw a structured blazer on top for a sophisticated touch. Plus, it obviously works beyond Valentine’s Day — whether you’re dressing it up for an evening out with friends or wearing it to the office.
As the blouse is part of Ghost’s latest collection, there aren’t any reviews yet. The only negative we can think of is that delivery costs £4.95, but that isn’t really a deal breaker.
But if you’re still deciding what to wear on 14 February, this might be the perfect romantic addition to your wardrobe rotation. You can shop the Ellery cotton blouse on Ghost’s website here.
If you’re looking for more classic white blouses, we also love this Seasalt Cornwall iteration. With frill detailing, this £59.95 piece will look elegant under a pinafore or with straight-leg jeans.
For a similar vintage-style, Nobody’s Child square-neck blouse is also worth a look. The long puff sleeves and tie-back are sweet details that really make this piece stand out.
