Essentiel Antwerp Dark Blue Off-Shoulder Knit Top With Ruffle Trim
Embrace the joy of dressing up. The Dark Blue Off-Shoulder Knit Top With Ruffle Trim by Essentiel Antwerp is a vibrant example of why the Belgian house is the go-to brand for fashion optimists, combining eclectic flair with effortless wearability.
Off-shoulder top crafted from a recycled polyester-blend knit and shaped in a close-fitting silhouette. The elasticated neckline is framed by a voluminous ruffle that extends over the shoulders, adding soft structure and movement. Ribbed knit detailing enhances the sculpted fit while maintaining a refined finish.
Editor’s Styling Note
“I call this ‘Dopamine Dressing.’ Essentiel Antwerp pieces are instant mood lifters. Because their prints and colors are so beautifully bold, you can choose to either lean into the maximalism or ground the look. I love contrasting this Tops with clean, minimalist accessories—like a structured leather tote from Polène—to keep the outfit polished but incredibly fun.”
— Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Luxury Shoes

How to Style the Essentiel Antwerp Dark Blue Off-Shoulder Knit Top With Ruffle Trim
-
Play with Texture:
Contrast the bright fabrics or chunky knits of this piece with harder materials such as structured denim or a sleek leather skirt, for a modern look. -
Color Block Strategically:
If the piece features a bold print select one singular accent color from the pattern and match your handbag or shoes to it for a cohesive statement. -
Embrace the Clash:
For the ultimate Belgian eclectic aesthetic do not be afraid to mix prints. Pair floral tops with subtle striped trousers to achieve advanced dopamine dressing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Essentiel Antwerp run big?
The brand generally fits true to size using European (FR) sizing. However, their signature knitwear and sweatshirts are intentionally designed with an oversized “boyfriend” fit. We recommend sizing down for knits only if you prefer a much tighter, more tailored look.
Is Essentiel Antwerp a luxury brand?
Essentiel Antwerp operates in the “contemporary luxury” space. They provide the high-quality design, premium fabrications, and artistic direction of legacy fashion houses, but at a more accessible price point.
