Is the peplum a fashion hit or miss?


Actresses across both Hollywood and Bollywood are seen dressed in peplum style dresses and tops on various occasions, and even though the trends been around for over a year now the peplum remains a favourable style that many celebrities continue to endorse. It's not out of fashion, and is still an increasingly popular across retail stores, however, is it not getting a little repetitive and boring?

When H&M, Topshop and River Island all bought in the rage of the peplum trend early last year, you could see why they were a great hit worldwide. The way in which the style of this outfit accentuated the waist and incorporated clean-cut flares and frills midway, meant it was the perfect style to wear on a casual basis with a pair of jeans, or in a sophisticated manner for an evening-do! It was the perfect style for a long time, but the fact it's still very much the in thing suggests there isn't anything that stands-out a year on!!

 
On my recent shopping trip, regular retail shops are still selling the Peplum, like its never been seen before, and I must say I'm getting rather bored of this look endorsed by almost every celebrity! As much as the peplum was a huge fashion hit for a long period of time, I'm afraid to say it no longer is!

Out with the old, and in with the new!

What do you think?
