Styling: The Peplum Top

One of my favorite trends this season is the peplum top, its cute and flirty, and super figure flattering. its a great go-to piece in any wardrobe and suits every body type. when searching for a peplum top to add to your wardrobe, remember this. try them on, find one where the seam between the top and the start of the peplum hits about mid waist, this is the most flattering in my opinion. and make sure the length of the peplum is at least 4-5 inches. for a top with a short peplum, make sure the top half hits lower on your waist.
 
 
now with that being said lets get started.


 
 
Outfit 1. Sweet and Flirty
 
 
 
     

this outfit is perfect for a day to night look. its sweet and feminine with the mint green and blush colors. the peplum already has some detailing on it so theres no need for a necklace, but you can add a little bit of bling with a few bracelets. the floral printed pants work because there are hints of mint green. The blush colored flats work as a neutral, but theres the same blush color in the jeans as well. if its chilly throw on a denim jacket and you're all set.




Outfit 2. Punked Out








Rings & Pins - Wit and Wisdom Ring


i love gold and black together, its sophisticated and trendy, and always seems to look put together. pair this black peplum with a gold statement necklace, and a quirky, chunky ring. a pair or leatherette leggings will look punked out, but still comfortable. finish off with a pair of nude fringed booties. its a surprise instead of black boots, but still looks cohesive because its a neutral.



3. Formally Acquainted.








Necklaces - Seeing Bauble Necklace


this look is great for going out or for a dress-y office look. the layers on the peplum are a cute added detail, and the complement the scalloped layered detail on the skirt. for a dark to super light ombre inspired look, start with a dark top, medium toned skirt, and a light nude heel. accessorize with clear crystals and gold for a well put together and classy look.





so there are three ways i would style the peplum top. I hope you enjoyed and want to try out this fun and flattering trend.

Much Love <3
