How to Style Your Soft Knitted Peplum Sweater

The beauty of a soft knitted peplum sweater lies in its versatility. For a polished daytime look, pair it with high-waisted trousers like our Fashion High Waist Skinny Faux Leather Trousers—the peplum creates a perfect transition between the fitted top and structured bottoms. For casual elegance, style with our Stretch Ripped Washed Casual Straight Jeans and add layered necklaces from our jewelry collection. When dressing up, tuck the sweater into a pleated midi skirt or wear it over our Solid Color Sleeveless Slim Irregular Dress as a chic cover-up. The peplum detail naturally draws attention to your waist, so avoid bulky layers over it—opt for open-front cardigans or tailored blazers instead. Complete the look with statement earrings and a structured bag to balance the feminine silhouette.

Fit, Fabric & Care Guide for Soft Knitted Peplum Sweaters

Our soft knitted peplum sweaters feature a premium knit blend designed for both comfort and durability. The fabric has just enough stretch to hug your curves without constriction, while the peplum is strategically placed to flare gently at your natural waistline. For sizing, we recommend your usual sweater size—the peplum is designed to accommodate your natural shape without adding bulk. The knit is medium-weight, perfect for layering during transitional seasons or wearing alone in climate-controlled environments. Care is straightforward: hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, lay flat to dry to maintain the peplum's shape, and avoid hanging which can stretch the knit. For storage, fold rather than hang to preserve the sweater's structure. The fabric becomes softer with each wear while maintaining its shape wash after wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I care for my soft knitted peplum sweater to maintain its shape? +

To preserve your soft knitted peplum sweater's flattering silhouette, always hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent. Never wring or twist the fabric—instead, gently press out excess water. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshaping the peplum detail as needed. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the knit and distort the peplum's shape. For storage, fold neatly rather than hanging.

What body types work best with a peplum sweater style? +

The soft knitted peplum sweater is surprisingly versatile for different body types. The peplum detail creates the illusion of a smaller waist, making it flattering for hourglass, pear, and rectangle shapes. For apple shapes, choose a slightly longer peplum that hits at the hip bone. Petite frames benefit from a shorter peplum that doesn't overwhelm, while taller individuals can carry more dramatic peplum detailing. The key is ensuring the peplum hits at your natural waistline.

Can I wear a soft knitted peplum sweater to the office? +

Absolutely! Our soft knitted peplum sweater is office-appropriate when styled correctly. Pair it with tailored trousers like our Fashion High Waist Skinny Faux Leather Trousers and layer with a structured blazer. Choose neutral colors for maximum versatility, and keep accessories minimal and professional. The peplum adds feminine detail without being too casual, making it perfect for business casual environments.

What should I wear under a knitted peplum sweater? +

For the cleanest look, wear a seamless camisole or tank top in a matching color. The soft knit fabric means you don't need bulky layers—a simple silk camisole works beautifully. In cooler weather, thermal base layers in skin-tone colors maintain the sweater's silhouette. Avoid thick turtlenecks or collared shirts underneath, as they can create bulk that interferes with the peplum's flattering drape.

How do I style accessories with a peplum knit sweater? +

Since the peplum creates visual interest at your waist, keep necklaces simple or opt for longer pendant styles that extend below the neckline. Statement earrings like our Tribal Round Drop Earrings work beautifully as they draw attention upward. Belts should be avoided as they compete with the peplum detail. Structured bags worn crossbody or handheld complement the feminine silhouette without overwhelming it.

Is the soft knitted peplum sweater suitable for all seasons? +

Our soft knitted peplum sweater is perfect for spring, fall, and winter when layered appropriately. The medium-weight knit provides warmth without bulk. For cooler months, layer under our Stylish Lapel Wool Blend Coat. In transitional weather, wear it alone or with a light cardigan. While it's not designed for summer heat, it works well in air-conditioned environments year-round.
