Love peplums but loathe the fuss involved with coordinating the perfect bottom to go with your peplum top? Consider peplum dresses.
Some people are so over peplums while others find the waist overskirt on tops something a child would wear. When I first wrote of the peplum fashion trend, I confessed I was quite taken in by the strategic waistline flare and saw no reason to loathe a design that shows off the smallest bit of your waist and accentuates the hip.
Tops with peplums had a level of charm I equated easily with the fashion of the olden era, when the likes of Saloma and Marilyn Monroe influenced women’s style choices.
The liking turned into a plateau when I started to realize the styling considerations involved when wearing peplum tops. It is most crucial to pair them with the right pants or skirts. Tops with shorter peplums inevitably highlight the waist-to-hip area zoning onto the wrinkles or bunches in the fabric of your pants or skirts. Skirts of the narrow kind are often better suited for the peplum top style as we are too clever enough for a look that appears bottom-heavy.
To eliminate all the fuss that is involved with choosing the perfect bottom for your peplum top, I find the answer in the peplum dress or a peplum top and skirt set. Combining the peplum style on top with a built-in skirt, dressing time is delightfully shortened. Granted, you must be a lover of dresses or are willing to stretch your fashion horizon.
