Pretty in Peplum

Trending… Peplum! There is really no way to ignore the burst of peplum tops & dresses that have been popping up on my fashion radar ever since fall.

Peplum tops first became popular around the 1940’s when the fabulous Christian Dior started creating them. I really think that the Peplum style fits most body shapes… they flatter your figure by adding fullness to the hip area to create the illusion of a slimmer waistline.

My tips for Peplum:

– Pair a peplum top with super skinny jeans or pants.

– Longer peplum tops look great with a wide leg pant.

– Peplum dresses look great with pointy shoes or rounded.

-Peplum tops also look great with a pencil skirt for business attire.

I gathered a bunch of budget friendly peplum tops & dresses for some fun examples. Some are dressy & some are casual… keep in mind there are all kinds of styles out there! I have seen a few spring lookbooks and have spotted lacy, floral, animal print & neon peplum tops… how fun!!

Ladies, where are you in the peplum trend? Love it? What are your favorite ways to wear those peplum tops & dresses? I would love to know. Do you have any other fashion trends you love these days? Share, please do!
