Autumn is just around the corner, and with rain coming down and temperatures significantly lower than they have been, shoppers are making the move towards transitional dressing. September can be a tricky time of the year to dress, especially when heading into the office or for a day out.
One minute it's chilly, the next the sun pops its head out and it's warmer than anticipated, so a coat or jacket may not be the best option. Lightweight top layers like jumpers or cardigans can be the right solution, thrown over a vest top or basic t-shirt.
The Peplum Top That Flatters the Figure
On the hunt for a pretty autumn jumper that still flatters the figure, I stumbled across Roman's Dusk Peplum Knitted Top, which ticks every box for me. It's normally £32 at full price, but drops down to £24 with our exclusive discount code AFRPLC25Q226.
Existing Roman shoppers can also get it for less by using the code LOOK at checkout, which brings the price down to £28.20. Available in two effortless autumn hues - Burgundy and Cream - Roman's Dusk Peplum Knitted Top is crafted in a soft, warm fabric, it features a flattering round neckline and long sleeves that add a touch of elegance.
Peplum Detail Creates a Slimming Effect
The Peplum detail gently skims the hips, creating a feminine silhouette and instantly slimmer waist without compromising on comfort. It can easily be thrown on with your favourite pair of jeans or leggings for casual wear, or worn with some smart trousers if you're heading into the office.
If you're a fan of darker clothing, New Look's Black Midweight Peplum Jumper is a similar style, and costs £29.99. River Island also has a Black Knit Peplum Top, priced at £36, with gold hardware detailing at the waist that leans perfectly into the A/W26 trend of military luxe.
Five-Star Review and Breathable Fabric
Back at Roman, the Dusk Peplum Knitted Top currently only has one review, but it's been given five stars. It reads: "This top looks so good on. Washes perfectly and great for wearing on all occasions. Love it"
This is due to the top being new in, but it's currently one of the bestsellers on the website. Some of its positive features, alongside its slimming silhouette, include its breathable fabric blend, which is made from 85% Viscose and 15% Polyester, meaning it will feel silky, breathable, and lightweight against the skin.
