Trend How To: Peplum Pretty

I have always been a fan of the peplum look however in seasons past it was hard to make it work without looking a little too “office girl”.

Enter, the peplum shirt.

For me, the peplum silhouette is the perfect choice for any figure. It is elegant and feminine for almost all figures. If you are curvy it serves to accentuate your waist, and if you are slender it adds curves where there are none.

With brands like Stella McCartney and Jason Wu offering an incredible range of tailored options, it is clear why celebrities and fashion insiders are jumping onto the trend.

Don’t worry, if you have a limited budget brands like ASOS and Cotton On also have super affordable options (under $50!).

Check out our top picks below, and some stars sporting the look below.
