Opt for both casual and formal in a peplum dress
Its versatility makes a peplum dress a real wardrobe essential. Looking for an outfit for a business meeting? Opt for a fitted peplum dress in a neutral shade like black, navy or burgundy. Pair your dress with classic pumps, and you’re ready to impress.
Prefer a more relaxed yet stylish look? Choose a peplum dress made of soft fabric featuring a playful print, such as florals. Combine this dress with comfortable ballet flats or a pair of vintage-inspired sneakers, and you have the perfect outfit for a lunch with friends or a day of shopping.
A fashion staple since Roman times
Did you know that the origins of the peplum dress date back to ancient Rome? The name "peplum" comes from the Greek word "peplos," referring to a garment worn by women in classical antiquity. These garments often featured an extra layer of fabric around the waist—just like the peplum styles we adore today.
In the 1940s, the peplum regained popularity, thanks in part to Christian Dior’s iconic "New Look," which celebrated cinched waists and feminine silhouettes. The 1980s saw another revival, with dramatic designs and bold details. Today, the peplum remains a beloved style that blends vintage elegance with modern flair—exactly what Topvintage stands for!
How to style your peplum dress
A peplum dress is a statement piece on its own, but the right accessories will lift your look to new fashion heights. For an elegant evening look, opt for eye-catching earrings and a brooch in a contrast colour. A pair of classic high heels will complete your outfit.
For a more casual look, style your peplum dress with a wide belt to further highlight your waist. Add a chic handbag and a pair of comfortable loafers, and you’re ready for whatever the days has in store. In colder months, layer your peplum dress with a stylish cardigan for both warmth and elegance. Let your creativity run free and create endless combinations!
