Peplum is Back

Hello, hello! I hope you are all having a great week!  I have received a few emails and comments from you all that you really like my fashion round ups and that Sparkles and Shoes has had a bit too much travel content lately.  As I have been mentioning for years, I love your feedback and while I still have a ton of travel content to share I am happy to share more fashion and trends with you all!   Let’s start the Fashion and Style tag back up with one of my favorite trends of the season – peplum is back!

By definition peplum is a short section attached to the waistline of a blouse, jacket, or dress, so really anything goes.   I have been a fan of the style for a while, first featuring it on the blog in the Spring of 2014 here, and it is definitely making a comeback!   I have rounded up some of the tops, dresses, and peplum skirts that have caught my eye lately: 

TED BAKER LONDON Ruffle Bubble Texture Top

Michelle Mason Peplum Skirt in Periwinkle 

Rebecca Taylor Tilda Structured Blouse 

Joie Shawnette Halter Neck Blouse in Kiss

Leal Daccarett Margot Midi Skirt with Peplum 

Pepa Pombo Molly Dress in Ciruela/Fuchsia

PRIMA Sequin Scalloped Peplum Top

And then I know this piece is next level ridiculous with a price tag of almost two thousand dollars – $1,995.00 – but this black and white Brandon Maxwell Tuxedo Peplum Jacket speaks to me on a personal level. It is a structured Balmain jacket meets the kind of blazer I like to wear over my dresses to business meetings. 

With all of these pieces I think you will believe me – this season, peplum is back, and I have rounded up the best tops, dresses, and skirts featuring this trend at a variety of price points.  So tell me, what do you think of the trend and what do you want to see more of?
