Rakia’s Style Nation: Pimp Your Wardrobe With Peplum
This season, add a pop of peplum to your wardrobe. For folks who don’t know what a peplum is, it’s the short overskirt that you usually see on jackets and dresses. This style is flattering for all body types, and with its chic and feminine flair, peplum can do no wrong.
The flare creates an illusion of curves—while also disguising those tummy areas—for a chic, sophisticated look. Peplum dresses have been stealing the spotlight on runways and red carpets everywhere and now can be spotted on local fashionistas. It's no wonder the peplum dress is this season’s most exciting cocktail dress trend. Not in the mood to sport a dress? Keep it casual with a peplum-inspired ladylike tailored jacket and pair it with your favorite jeans or over any outfit. This look is great for the office, a night out on the town with your girls or a date night with your beau.
So, what are you waiting for? Pump up your wardrobe with peplum this season and accentuate those curves!
