This dress from River Island is perfect for a fifties style outfit

Peplum waists create the illusion of a waist, so they're perfect for any boyish figures out there, and those of you with curves in the right places, they only further enhance your shape. 

Head into any shop on the high street at the minute and you're bound to find an item with a peplum waist, whether it's a dress, a skirt, a top or a jacket. 

They're everywhere. 

This polka dot one from River Island is perfect for the fifties style. Wear with plastic pastel accessories and a pair of cute peeptoes to complete the trend. 

Or go for simple and wear with black heels and red lips. You won't need anything else - but you'll stand out on the dance floor. 

This dress is great for the office too. Just wear a lower heel and tights. Keep hair scraped back otherwise the look will be too fussy, then take it down and sweep it to the side for a look that will take you straight to a bar. 

Available from River Island, £40. 

Black peplum dress

Another LBD, but really, we can't have too many can we?

Dress this up anyway you like and again accessorise appropriately for your event. 

This dress is on sale at Dorothy Perkins, so be sure to click through and buy now. Chances of it still being in the shop are slim, and who wants to battle the crowds?

Reduced from £36 to £15. 

Stella McCartney Peplum waist top

If you're due a treat, then look no further than this Stella McCartney top. 

The cream colour means it will go with everything, just remember to be extra careful when you're enjoying a glass of red wine. 

Wear with grey or brown trousers to the office, then on the weekends wear with cropped, coloured jeans. 

Pair both looks with a leather shopping bag and you've got a look that any fashionista would be envious of. 

Don't distract from the peplum detailing by pairing the top with a belt or a necklace, let it shine through on it's own. Trust me, it's all it needs. 

Available from Selfridges, £310.
