10 Ghost dresses for every occasion this summer
From the brand's iconic satin slips to seasonal floral prints
Best-known for its iconic satin slip designs, Ghost is a go-to for chic occasionwear. But whilst its silky skirts are something we all need in our wardrobes, there's plenty more on offer with the British brand this season.
From floral tea dresses and wedding guest picks to classic black staples, our edit is full of dresses to wear time and time again, whether your summer is jam-packed or destined for downtime.
Ghost Satin Cut Out Detail Midaxi Column Dress
Read review
Now over 40 years old, Ghost is renowned for what it does best: satin silhouettes. Flattering cuts combined with top quality, flowing fabrics give the brand's garments the effortless look we love them for — but it's also continued to update itself to maintain the highest standards, including upgrading its signature fabrics to more responsible blends of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose (reducing environmental impact).
For those who enjoy simple designs done well, or the art of the 'elevated basic,' you're in the right place — but there's also plenty on offer for those looking for something a little bolder for their next occasion, whether you're mother of the bride or garden party host.
The best Ghost dresses to see you through the summer
A black dress is a staple for all the seasons, and this flowing fit makes the colour work better for summer. It's also made from 100% linen for breathability on warmer days, and features elegant pin-tuck and lace trim detailing across the top for some added interest across the bodice.
A long-sleeved maxi or midi is a versatile pick that'll see you through the year, and we love this navy and white design. This pattern is easy to wear and will work just as well with sandals as it will with winter boots — it's ideal for the odd British transitional coats and sunglasses days.
This versatile, pretty pick will serve you well for many occasion this season, whether it be a wedding celebration or a garden party. Dress it up with heeled shoes or down with sandals — how ever you style this option, it'll give off a vintage summer charm thanks to its delicate embroidery and lace detailing.
The midi satin slip dress is a Ghost classic, and arguably what the brand is best known for. Here, thick straps and a not-too-low back ensure that your bra is covered (and you can still wear one) so whilst this design is sophisticated, chic and elegant, it's also easy to wear.
This rich red dress is a pick for all the seasons; you can style this for Christmas as much as you can for summer. In Ghost's iconic satin, this is a flattering shape in a straight-down style. Cut out detailing at the neckline adds some interest to an otherwise simple design, keeping its elegance in tact.
Ideal for a wedding guest — or Bridesmaid, even — Ghosts's elegant silver silhouette is made for your next occasion. Tie-back detailing at the waist creates a flattering shape which, whilst it may not be the most practical, is a beautiful addition to an otherwise sophisticatedly simple design. Bag yourself a stick-on bra and you're away.
A more playful take on Ghost's classic satin dress, the Cicely design includes some additional details to instantly elevate an outfit. Ruffles at the neck and shoulders alongside a simple neck-tie add a feminine, vintage detail to the cap sleeve.
Royal blue can be striking yet sophisticated, as Ghost demonstrates well here. You don't need to add anything to this for it to shine, so it's a versatile pick for any occasion — and it'll even work in winter with boots and a jumper.
If you're looking for something bold for summer celebrations, this is it; its statement pattern won't be for everyone, but those who love colour will appreciate this print. With a high neck and long sleeves this is great for more conservative occasions or those who don't like to have their arms out — without missing out on a cracking colourway.
