It is no secret to anyone that has been following what is going on in the fashion industry that retro, ladylike styles are having a major comeback, and these peplum fashion innovations play a huge role in that look.
For those of you who don’t know, peplum is the short little overskirt that is attached to a tight dress, fitted shirt or tailored jacket. The look adds an instant touch of sophistication and retro elegance.
From Mary Katrantzou’s latest collection for her Fall 2012 offering to Jason Wu’s Spring 2012 collection from last season, and even retailers like Banana Republic and H&M, peplum fashion innovations are truly taking over.
If you want to add some ladylike glamor to your look, this is the perfect way to do it.
