Trends come and go. Whether you love it or hate it, peplum tops, first popular in the 50s and 2010s, are making a comeback. These fun and flattering tops typically have a cinched waist and flare at the bottom. But where did they originate from? The word \u201cpeplum\u201d originates from the Greek word \u201cPeplos,\u201d which was a popular tunic worn in ancient Greece. Although this trend was popularized in the 40s and 50s, it returned to the fashion forefront in the 80s and again in the 2010s. <\/p>

This trend was all over the Spring 2025 runway with designers like Diesel and Bally showing the modern take on the trend. And once it hits the runway, it\u2019s only a matter of time before everyone will be sporting peplum tops again. So, if you\u2019re looking to stay on trend and wear something fashionable to the office<\/a>, at a summer bridal shower<\/a> or for date night<\/a>, a peplum top is a simple yet chic option.
