Fashion flashback: Puffball and peplum styles are back! Here’s how to incorporate these retro trends into your wardrobe
Natasha Dua, fashion expert shared with HT Lifestyle some trendy tips to effortlessly incorporate puffball and peplum styles into your wardrobe.
1. Volume Control: Mastering the Puffball Skirt
Hailey Bieber was seen stylishly embracing pregnancy in a puffball mini dress during an outing with Justin Bieber.
Remember: If your bottom half is throwing a party, your top half should be the bouncer. Pair a puffball skirt with a fitted top to keep your look chic and balanced.
2. Perfect Proportions: The Peplum Power Move
Peplum tops give you that cinched-waist look while adding playful flair. So you can simply pair it with slim-fitting bottoms like skinny jeans or tailored trousers.
3. Textile Tango: Mixing Textures and Fabrics
Shilpa Shetty rocks a chic monochrome look, pairing her black peplum top with a matching pencil skirt.
Mixing textures can make your outfit pop; pretty much like making cocktails - adding the right ingredients that makes all the difference. Pair a structured peplum top with a soft, flowy skirt or wide-leg pants.
4. Accessorise to Modernize: Finishing Touches
Emma Stone stunned in a beige off-shoulder peplum top and matching skirt, accessorised with a diamond necklace at the Oscars 2024.
Accessories can take your look from 'meh' to 'marvellous'. A statement belt works wonders with a puffball skirt, cinching your waist and adding definition. With peplum tops, layer delicate necklaces or go bold with earrings to draw attention upwards. For handbags, a chic clutch or structured satchel complements the skirts, while a sleek crossbody bag suits the tops.
5. Fancy Footwork: Choosing the Right Footwear
The right footwear can make your outfit sing. Pair puffball skirts with sleek heels or ankle boots to elongate your legs and give you that confident strut. For peplum tops, pointed-toe flats or classic pumps keep things elegant and classy. Embellished sandals add glamour to these skirts, while loafers or ballet flats provide a polished finish to your outfits.
6. Prints Charming: Playing with Patterns
Kate Middleton stuns in a black peplum skirt and blazer adored with white floral prints.
Don't be afraid of prints and patterns. A floral puffball skirt adds a whimsical touch, while a geometric peplum top makes a bold statement. If one piece is loud, keep the other quieter.
7. Layer Up: Versatile and Trendy
Puffball skirts and peplum tops are great for layering. Fitted blazers for a polished office look; cozy knit sweaters over denim jackets for a casual vibe, are some cool options.
8. Confidence Couture: Own Your Style
Above all, wear these trends with confidence. Puffball skirts and peplum tops are designed to make you stand out, so own it! Strut your stuff, have fun, and let your personality shine through.
