I Thought I'd Left This Top Behind in 2004—Now, It’s a Major 2024 Trend
I wouldn't dare suggest that peplum tops were "back" unless I had the evidence. I'm afraid to say that this season, I have it in spades. Fear not, as the silhouette that escorted us to just about every event during the early '10s has been treated to a very 2024 makeover and is suddenly back and looking better than ever.
Appearing across collections during September's fashion weeks, peplum tops were being tipped as a key runway item for spring 2024 from the start. Peppering Erdem's collection, the statement silhouette adhered to a romantic theme, where delicate mesh peplums were embellished with floral details, making for a pretty top that felt at home within a current collection.
Spotted again at Albera Ferretti, the subtle peplum addition worked to hug the models' frame before delicately flaring out at the waist, creating an elegant shape that's easier to style than you might have once thought. Beyond the runway shows, influencers have been quietly experimenting with the style too, wearing the trending top with everything from casual jeans to smart wide-leg trousers all over again.
Designers have risen to the challenge of refreshing this "dated" design by making a few key updates. Rejecting rigid fabrics, this season's peplum tops are largely composed of softer, more comfortable materials including satin, cotton and linen, meaning that the peplum feature retains a naturally softer shape and more elegant finish.
Although high-end designers are leading the way on the revival, slowly but surely, high-street brands are following suit, and I've rounded up all of the best peplum tops across the market worth adding to your basket this spring.
