Peplum; Love it or Leave it?

       As we all know fashion trends come and go, but some stay with us through the decades... 

      For those who love a good fun fact, the word Peplum originates from the Greek word for 'tunic and in fashion terms it refers to a short overskirt attached to a fitted jacket, blouse, skirt or dress.     Models have been strutting down the runway in everything peplum, and for a good reason too! Peplum is one of the most flattering trends we've seen to-date and works for any body type. 
      When it comes to peplum, one size really does fit all. Whether it's adding curves and structure or showcasing someones already voluptuous body, this trend is definitely here to stay. This extremely versatile trend can be worn at work, at a party, date-night, or simply going out to do some errands.



  


 


Go for an edgy look, add leather pants or a leather peplum top. 

 

 

 

 

 





Get the Retro look and step back into the 1950s or go Mod for a Twiggy inspired outfit

 

 

 

 

 







Try something a little more flirty with a low back and soft pastels for spring 

 

 

 

 

 






Just hanging about? Just add a simple peplum top and a pair of jeans and you have a comfortable yet stylish look
















 

Add some structure with a peplum jacket. Even Audrey Hepburn herself would adore this outfit.
