They’re the hottest trend going into fall, and thankfully they’re also easy to wear, easy to find and totally flirty. I’m talking about the Peplum dress. If you’re unsure of what a peplum is, it’s basically a short layer that hangs over the hips on a skirt or a dress. Tres cute! Here are a few choices at all price points:
The Baraoque DF, a petite tafetta party dress found at Acne Jeans, is designed as five levels, and was one of the most in-demand dresses last season. This exquisitely modernized version comes in a solid, durable blue denim, from shop.acnestudios.com at a hefty $949. For a simple strapless look you can’t go wrong with this offering, a panel peplum strapless dress by Warehouse Features. The dress is designed with a sweetheart neckline, fitted waistband, with reinforced stitch detail and exposed zip in back, for $128.73 and it’s available at Asos.com.
Another offering is this belted cotton-blend peplum dress by Oasis. With a sweetheart neckline and convenient adjustable straps, this creation is contrasted by a faux waist belt in a knotted design. Featured in two red layers over the waist, it is also from Asos.com at $147.12. If you prefer an epic cocktail silhouette try a Tibi Norma black jersey peplum dress which is priced at $330.
