The Peplum Dress: The Hottest Look on the Catwalk!

The peplum dress has been splashed all over the runways this Spring and Summer and as become one of the hottest celebrity trends.  They have been seen sported by the most practiced leaders of fashion such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Middleton and Nicole Kidman, as well as experimental fashionistas such as Rhianna and Lady Gaga.

The chic little peplum frills came to the fashion foreground in the 1940’s and re-emerged in the 1980’s.  This season’s designers have gone full circle and have integrated the 40’s and 80’s peplum to create a truly dramatic and modern look to give today’s ladies that killer silhouette.  Here at Walk in Wardrobe boutique we have remained bang on trend and have stocked several styles of peplum dresses in varying colours.  Whilst helping our lovely customers choose their perfect peplum dress we have noticed so many positive qualities to this style.

The peplum is renowned for looking great on all body shapes, is uber-feminine and versatile, being suitable for so many occasions, from weddings to work and all in-between!  Curvy ladies can enjoy the peplum’s ability to cinch in the waist whilst the frills glance off the hip, smoothing the curves to emphasise that sexy hourglass figure.  Slender ladies can enjoy exaggeration of their waists as well as giving the illusion of a fuller hip whilst the style also elongates a long, lean figure.  Ladies of all shapes and sizes have also commented to us that most importantly the frill hides a lady’s common problem area!  I’m sure all you ladies out there know EXACTLY where I mean!

To finish off that chic peplum look we suggest teaming the dress up with one of our glamorous little clutch bags!
