You know the saying, “What goes around comes back around?” Some might’ve taken it as a life lesson, but it’s also true for fashion trends. Case in point: peplum tops. Popular in the 40s and 50s, these tops made a big comeback with millennial fashion in the 2010s. And now, they’re definitely having a moment again. Peplum was all over the spring 2025 runways from designers like Diesel, Ashlyn and Bally, and now it has trickled down to Amazon.
The current version of the peplum trend has a modern twist to it, incorporating flowy silhouettes, ruched designs and unique patterns. These tops are versatile enough to wear practically anywhere, whether that’s to work, dinner, a concert or a summer bridal shower.
