Peplum dresses, which have a short overskirt or ruffle attached to the waistline of a dress or skirt, have come back into style for the summer season. These fancy frocks have been noted in the collections of renowned fashion designers including Louis Vuitton (as pictured above) and adorned by celebrities like Rihanna. The pop-star sensation was spotted at a pre-grammy party wearing a royal blue peplum dress by Preen which she accessorised with Christian Louboutin chain heels. Is this trend too Hollywood? Some find this style of dress daunting to wear. If the flamboyancy of this style is slightly excessive for your tastes, choose a dark coloured dress and add emphasis with accessories. Diane Kruger teamed her peplum dress with the fashion house's chain belt and a pair of studded Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps. The final note I will leave you with today, fashionistas, is for those conscious of their appearance - while there is a common misconception that the preplum dress only suits slim women, I believe it compliments all body shapes. The ruffle will detract attention from the middle section of the body and looks very flattering. Do not be afraid to give it a go!
