Remember a little while back when we thought peplums were making a comeback? Some fashion insiders probably were excited, but most seem more trepidatious because the trend, which reached its height during the previous decade, was and is pretty divisive. Thankfully, we seem to have avoided that sartorial landmine. Although another hotly debated craze is already making strides. We're talking about drop-waist dresses.
There are only two sides to this debate. You're either for or against drop waists' return. We sit firmly in the all-in category. Some may argue that the lower waists translate into a less flattering silhouette. That's pretty shortsighted, however. In fact, the setup tends to elongate the torso and supply a sleek effect. Designers like Victoria Beckham and Ulla Johnson showcase just how chic dropping waists can be. The It dress of the season crafted by By Malene Birger also meets the classification. Better yet, it's a convertible silhouette that you can also fold over into a skirt. Which means it's a great place to start, especially if you feel like you still may need convincing.
