Power to the Peplum

All eyes are on the hips this fall as designers like Proenza Schouler, Stella McCartney and Giambattista Valli added ladylike peplums to skirts, jackets and dresses. Whether you’re looking to add a flirty, feminine accent to a streamlined silhouette or are hoping for a whole lot of drama there is a peplum style for you. Curvier ladies should not avoid this trend and opt for smaller peplums that define the waist while accentuating womanly curves.

1. Ukamaku Tstar Collection Veronica dress ($235).

2. Proenza Schouler blanket jacquard skirt ($2550), available at SSENSE.

3. Amanda Wakeley paneled jersey dress ($950), available at Net-A-Porter.

4. BCBG Max Azria Avis strapless mini dress ($398).

5. Alice + Olivia Elle peplum tee ($185), at Shopbop.

6. Topshop faux fur collar jacket ($96).
