The peplum top is an essential item in every woman’s wardrobe. Peplum was first known as a short overskirt, but not attached to a fitted jacket, which is where the current silhouette originated. For a long time, this simple silhouette has remained consistently fashionable. This Fashionista is wearing a forest green peplum top, shiny black leggings, a vibrant blue pendant necklace and white Converse.
When thinking of the peplum top, I think of two words: classic and simple. It is a top that is fit for comfort but is versatile for any occasion. Pair it with a blazer to wear to your summer internship, or with a light wash jean jacket for an outdoor concert. Fashionistas, you can never go wrong with this type of top because it’s flattering and functional. As always, a necklace will dress this up. Try a pencil skirt instead of jeans with a peplum top and you can really make a statement in this comfy silhouette. This Fashionista keeps it ultra causal without looking frumpy. She keeps is sweet and simple, a nice combination for a busy summer day.
This Fashionista accessorizes and personalizes her look with a pretty blue St. Christopher necklace. The peplum’s deep, gorgeous green offers a beautiful contrast to the bright lime greenery of summer. Nothing completes a summer outfit more than a worn-in, classic pair of white Converse. They are the perfect companion to the constant movement and activity that fill your busy summer days. As you can see, I truly recommend the element of comfort in a summer look, and with a peplum top and comfy sneakers, you can’t go wrong.
