Quit It or Keep It: Peplum Edition

Peplum is just making its way onto the racks of South African fashion stores, but it has made a real impression on the DownTwnGirl team. But does Peplum have staying power? It is very hard to Not look god in Peplum. It accentuates all the best female features; makes the waist appear smaller and gives almost all women a beautiful hour-glass figure.
But there are rules to follow here. Ladies, make sure that the Peplum is the correct length in proportion to the garment it is attached to. It should Not look like this:


Styling is also very important when it comes to pulling of Peplum. Like the great Coco Chanel said, “when accessorising, always take off the last thing you put on”. This seems to apply to Peplum. A more simplistic, tailored Peplum outfit works best. Remember the Peplum is an accessory itself.


So should we Quit It or Keep It? I say Keep It! Just follow the two DownTownGirl rules for wearing Peplum, and you will look fabulous!
