Peplum tops are my newest obsession for fall and I’ll admit that at first, I wasn’t sure if this silhouette would work with my pear shape. I mean, the last thing I want to do is attract MORE attention to my hips and rear. But I was pleasantly surprised that this trend is super flattering — it cinches me in at my smallest part (at the waist ) and it pairs well with jeans (my uniform for the cooler months).

3 TIPS FOR WEARING PEPLUM TOPS

For a great transitional piece from summer into fall, go with a sleeveless version to wear now, and toss a long merino cardigan over it once we hit cooler temps.

Definitely experiment around with sizing to get the proportion right. Some of them are purposefully oversized, so you may need to size down.

Balance out the volume on top with skinny or straight leg jeans on the bottom. Avoid anything baggy.

My personal favorites are by The Great and Madewell.
