Peplum dress is the latest style to wear

By Sisi Tsoi


The Peplum the latest outline of Summer 2012, and it's set to only get more favored in the autumn. The Peplum shape is catching on, thanks to its flexibility and ability to flatter many shapes and sizes. At this point in the year, there are a great number of styles and cuts available, so you can work the peplum trend, make it your own, and stand proud of the crowd even as you work the most fashionable current style.

Regardless of being seen on everybody from Kim Kardashian to Kim Middleton, the detail is still fresh and novel. The comely cut implies it has got a unique quality, able to add curves to a boyish figure, yet simultaneously can flatter a more seductive frame to shocking effect. It can also be used to hide a baby bump! A little overskirt adds detail to tops, dresses and skirts that may instead be considered too basic or dull. This tiny detail adds an immediate update to any wardrobe and will make sure you stay before the style curve.

The look is also open to further alteration for an outfit that will be even closer to your individual style and mark you as a trendsetter. Wearing a waist belt just above the peplum skirt, for example, accentuates the waist and highlights your figure. Pairing complementary yet rather clashing colours - like Emma Stone's Pink and Red Giambattista Valli dress which she wore to the Friends With Benefits film premiere - propels the look further into a fashion-forward, directional league, with the appearance of separates bringing a touch of business-like style to the ensemble.

Because the peplum is a key detail and yet is relatively neutral, it is straightforward to mix with other trends. For instance, you can pair a cream peplum crown with a statement pair of ankle-grazing trousers or pencil skirt - two more of the season's wardrobe faves. A flashback to the 80s without the nightmares of crimped hair and legwarmers, it's a retro nod that avoids that fancy dress look. Even peplum dresses in neutral tones like black, cream and naked are statement enough to look trendy, without that fast-fashion feel that hot prints may have. This suggests that you won't be recycling them after just a couple of wears - and if you go for pieces that have extra details , such as embellished necklines, or striking sleeves, they will keep you looking interesting for even longer.

With the transitional peplum, 2 of Fall's biggest trends are the colour Oxblood and Leather. Burgundy, wine and forest fruit tones, coupled with peplum are a downright fail-safe closet combination. Leather pieces such as pencil skirts and skin-tight jeans will look stupendously directional with a peplum top and bridge the style opening between grunge and glamour. You don't have to choose whether you're a bad girl or a good girl with peplum ; you'll simply be incredibly trendy, and prepared for the current season.
