Pretty Pretty Peplum

One of the latest trends to hit fashion waves this season is the Peplum. Peplum tops, jackets and dresses are all the rage for the upcoming season. In case you are unfamiliar with what exactly a peplum is, it can be described as a flared ruffle attached to the waistline of a dress, jacket or blouse. Peplums are an easy way to define or give the illusion of hips and curves. Peplums also add class, style and sophistication to any look.

Here's a few tips I've picked up for rockin' the peplum look;

• When wearing a peplum top, keep your bottom half fitted with either a pencil skirt or skinny jeans. The only flare should be on the peplum, more than that would be overkill. 

• Don’t be afraid to try it! Slim women will benefit from the instant illusion of curves and curvier women will benefit from the accentuated waistline.
