A quick stroll down the high street and you’ll notice lace trim is everywhere, most often adorning slinky camisoles. Romantic and perfect for date night dressing, the feminine trend is designed to boost your confidence - but, for many of us, (myself included), that doesn’t include having our arms on full display.
So, you can imagine my excitement when Next released their flattering take on the look: a satin top complete with delicate lace trims on the neckline, hem and sleeves - the latter with ample coverage.
Think of it as a romantic take on your favourite boxy tee. Designed in a relaxed fit that skims just above the hips and features chic drop sleeves, it feels airy and (most importantly) comfortable. A flattering V-neckline cements its status as a date night go-to, while the generous sleeves mean you can focus on feeling your most confident self all evening.
Better still, the top comes in four equally pretty shades, catering to every date night mood. The rich chocolate brown feels made for candlelit dinners. Just add a pair of washed white jeans and kitten heels for a look that leans into romance.
For something a little more casual, but no less chic, the cream shade is perfect for weekend drinks, pairing well with denim for the ultimate ‘jeans and a nice top’ formula. Finish the look with a pendant necklace for an extra polished, dressy touch.
If you prefer to embrace a pop of colour during the summer months, the pastel pink and sage green options are just as appealing, bringing a fresh, feminine touch that feels perfect for the season.
And really, what better reason is there to get a date in the diary than a pretty new top?
