how to wear the peplum

If you’ve flipped through a fashion magazine or gone shopping for some new spring duds recently, you’ll know that peplum silhouettes are a HUGE trend this spring.
In case you didn’t know, peplum refers to a piece with a ruffle around the waist, which adds volume while creating a flattering hourglass shape. Tops, skirts, dresses and jackets have undergone a peplum makeover this season and it looks like this trend will be sticking around for at least the rest of the year.Peplums are a fantastic way to work in a retro, feminine touch, while still coming across as festive when pulling together daytime or after-dark looks. Whether you opt for a peplum-accented fitted jacket, a peplum skirt, or a peplum-embellished dress, it's a wonderfully flirty touch, not to mention a welcome alternative to lace and other more commonplace girly retro touches.
