From edgy, non symmetrical dresses to frumpy shades like metallic and neutrals, Summer/ Spring 2012 collections rejuvenated many ignored trends. However, when it came to sartorial structures and well-defined shapes, peplum remained the most-used trend in the runway alley. Whether you are going for a perfect daytime look or a glitzy night silhouette, these short, flirty peplum tops can furiously spice up your look anytime.
The newcomer star of the hit TV soap The Only Way is Essex, Frankie Essex too opted to bring on some elements of fun and drama to her ensemble through a black peplum top. But unfortunately, she failed to leave any good impression. The way she wore that dowdy peplum top, created an illusion of bulkiness, which made her slender figure appear heavy and loud. Also, she made the mistake of pairing her peplum top with skintight leggings. Dear Essex, just to share with you, these tops look appealing only if they are worn with loose fitted trousers or pencil skirts.
Don’t commit silly fashion mistakes like Essex, and learn how to look extra glamorous in this year’s hottest trend.
The peplum top trend
Sophistication, sultriness and dramatic edges- all these variably different elements can only be induced to one’s silhouette through a peplum top. Peplum tops might look voguish; however, there are certain fashion etiquette involved with pairing and accessorizing it with different torsos. For instance, these tops work wonders on statuesque beauties with longer waistlines than the taller ones. Since they feature an added layer of fabric around the waist, they look complementary with loose-fit trousers and not with something that is too skintight.
Here we have handpicked some of the desirable peplum tops to help you update your spring/ summer fashion instantly. Take a look.
