Peplum Leather Jackets

The peplum cut — fitted through the body with a flared flounce at the waist — is one of the most flattering shapes a jacket can take. A peplum leather jacket nips in at the waist and flares gently over the hips, creating a defined, feminine silhouette. Buccardi makes ours in genuine leather.

A Shape That Flatters

The flare at the waist draws in the middle and softens the hips, which suits a wide range of figures. It's a more feminine, dressed-up alternative to a straight-cut biker jacket and pairs beautifully with fitted trousers and dresses.

When to Wear It

Peplum leans dressier, so it shines for evenings and occasions. Keep the bottom half streamlined — slim trousers or a pencil skirt — so the peplum stays the highlight.
