Feminine, engineered. The peplum jacket — fitted bodice, flared ruffle at the waist — sculpts an hourglass silhouette in leather. Tailoring’s most flattering trick, rendered in hide.
Frequently asked questions
What is a peplum jacket?
A fitted jacket with a flared ruffle (the peplum) at the waist. It nips in at the waist and flares over the hips for a defined, feminine shape.
How should it fit?
Snug through the bodice with the waist seam at your natural waist and the peplum flaring freely. If the flare sits on the hips rather than below the waist, try a size up.
What do I wear it with?
High-waisted trousers, pencil skirts, slim jeans — anything that lets the peplum sit cleanly without bunching.
Which occasions suit peplum?
Dinners, events, the office — anywhere you want polish. It dresses up as easily as it dresses down.
