Season trends make it clear: volume jackets are in fashion, and the bigger, the better. XL shoulder pads, highly cinched waists, or puffed sleeves are among the stylistic tricks most frequently seen in this type of garments. But if there is a way to bring volume to jackets in a subtle and elegant way so that even the most modest will dare to wear it, it is through the peplum.
The peplum made a grand entrance into our wardrobes last season, when garments like dresses or tops incorporated it and demonstrated beyond doubt its power to streamline any silhouette. It is a kind of ruffle that starts at the waist, creating lift in that area and achieving a feminine and elegant hourglass silhouette.
Jackets that incorporate peplum are the perfect option for all those fans of Dior’s mythical New Look, as they are the ideal piece to recreate looks that convey classic sophistication that we all associate with that image. The good thing about these jackets is that they fit in anywhere, whether you want to pair them with your favorite basics or make them the star element of your most special outfits.
