A pirate blouse is a blouse with ruffles along the neck or chest and wide sleeves, often fastened with a lace through metal eyelets. For women, there are models with a wide neckline that falls low over the shoulders, for men shirts with a large collar or a stand-up jabot, and some of the blouses suit both women and men. Almost every blouse is sold separately, so you can build your pirate outfit around it yourself.
Lace-up neckline or button fastening: which pirate blouse do you wear when?
- For carnival, you often choose a plain red or black blouse with ruffles, because those colors stand out immediately in a crowded room.
- For a pirate party, a white or beige shirt with a lace through metal eyelets and a wide ruffle across the chest is suitable, that is the classic pirate look.
- If you want to look a bit neater, there are blouses with a button fastening and a pleated ruffle strip along the white buttons, in black and in red.
- Anyone looking for a complete top in one go will find a white shirt for men with a dark brown vest that looks like worn leather.
Choosing the size and fit of a pirate blouse
You order a pirate blouse for women in size M or XL, the blouses for women and men in M-L or XL, and the men's shirts come in S to XL, although not every model is available in every size. The women's models with a long hem fall over the hips, so you wear them loose or with a belt at the waist. Expect that you only receive the blouse, without a belt, sash or headscarf, and find those parts yourself. With the models with a lace-up neckline, you decide how deep the V falls, which is handy if you wear a vest or jacket over it.
A long jacket over your pirate blouse
Pull a pirate jacket over the blouse so that the ruffles at the neck remain visible, and complete the look with a belt from the pirate accessories. If you are going as a group, you can alternate the blouses with a top from the pirate shirt collection, so that not everyone wears the same.
