I’m a big fan of getting inspiration from my favorite style icons on Instagram, so I always make sure to have their notifications turned on. This way, whenever they post new content, I can immediately check it out and start planning to recreate their looks. Today, I was excited to see a notification that Elsa Hosk had posted. I tapped on the message, which brought me to a series of photos of her wearing a stylish yet casual outfit. The ensemble featured vintage Levi’s light-wash straight-leg jeans, Bottega Veneta sunglasses, a Saint Laurent Envelope Clutch, black loafers, and a red peplum top.
What surprised me the most was the fact that Hosk, known for her minimalist staples and tasteful outfits, was rocking a peplum top, a silhouette that some might consider “outdated” or “controversial.” However, the peplum trend has been given a fresh update for 2024.
During the spring/summer 2024 shows, peplum tops made a comeback and were highlighted as a key runway item. The latest iterations feature softer silhouettes, creating more subtle and elegant shapes.

Although Hosk’s top is a vintage Yves Saint Laurent piece from the ’80s that is not readily available, there are many equally chic options on the market. I’ve assembled a selection of the best peplum tops, each with a unique take on this now essential piece. Keep scrolling to discover some stylish alternatives!
