Fresh off the runway, this season’s modern silhouettes range from flattering drop-waist dresses to sexy midriff baring separates.

Think you can’t wear this sculpted shape? Think again. Rather than accentuate flaws, peplums cinch your waist and create hourglass curves. Team the flattering cut with a neutral hue and this one’s an ultra-wearable trend for day or night.
