The peplum trend has caught on like crazy with celebrities clamouring to exhibit their favourite pieces that manage to look fresh and classic at the same time. From Kim Kardashian in her clean, white and minimal peplum top paired with leather leggings, to Kate Middleton in a stunning forest green peplum dress with waist belt and beret accessories, those in the spotlight are aware of how flattering and sophisticated this style is. Swap Kim's trend led leather for a more classic pair of cigarette pants, and either of these styles would be pe7upDown rfect for the boardroom or the dance floor.

Despite being such a distinguished silhouette, the peplum pencil dress can also essentially be seen as a blank canvas. They come in any and every hue, skirt length, sleeve style and neckline. Hot Fall colours such as oxblood and plum are peplum favorites; pair with patent courts for a classic and current ensemble. Or if you're still in a Summer frame of mind, opt for pretty florals or nautical stripes, and complete with slingback kitten heels in cute, eye-catching shades. You can easily make this trend your own, in ways that will be suitable for day to evening wear. That's the beauty of vintage inspired dresses: the sophistication and nostalgia of decades past that they allude to, allow for a look that is both smart and evident of a devotion to fashion and style.
