With the temperatures seeming to be consistently in our favor (in Chicago that means not freezing), I think it’s about time to start sporting those Spring trends! Seen on the Spring ’12 runways of Jason Wu, Cushnie et Ochs, Thakoon and more, peplum is in this season.
This trend is especially great for those that are “straight down” because it helps give the illusion of curves. And if you’re one that tends to be drawn to more feminine styles, it doesn’t get more feminine than a peplum! I personally like to play with feminine and edgy styles (along with a few others thrown in there) so pairing a peplum dress or skirt with a cropped leather jacket and/or some studded boots is my ideal way of sporting this trend.
Here are some of my favorite peplum pieces available right now.
Prabal Gurung Ruffled Silk Chiffon Blouse
Marc by Marc Jacobs ‘Ellsworth’ Striped Peplum Dress
Jason Wu Feather-trimmed cotton and silk-blend gazar Dress
Givenchy Sleeveless Peplum Top
Giambattista Valli Leopard Print Top
Alice + Olivia Carly Short Peplum Skirt
