The whole “fit-and-flared” trend that took summer sundresses by storm is starting to branch out to invade everything from our tops, skirts, and jackets to boot! Peplum has always been a rather tricky shape to pull off – How much flare is too flared? How do I choose a shape that still flatters my own proportions? – but these peplum tanks make mastering the trend a cinch! Add an instant dose of girliness to an otherwise tomboy-chic ensemble by pairing one of these chic tanks with some tailored shorts and a cropped blazer, or rock with your favorite pair of colored or coated jeans. Easy-peasy! Not only does it help cinch in your waist to enhance your figure (and provide extra wiggle room if you’ve gone a little too overboard with all that yummy summer party food!), but the skirted style also adds effortless chicness in a way that’s still comfortable!
For Resort 2013, ethereal designer Erin Fetherston once again created an overtly feminine collection featuring vibrant colors and spiritted neutrals in her signature dress style. For resort, Fetherston is making a bit of a departure from her usual frilly tea dresses by stealthily moving into some heavy sequins, gowns, and separates. Erin spoke to Style.com of the collection saying, “It’s about energetic, bright, crisp colors.” While the collection is still quintessential Fetherston, she dabbled in some darker colors and body conscious looks as well to create a bit of complimentary toughness.
