It might seem hard to believe, but the peplum hem is back. The trend that saw immense popularity circa 2010 has made a subtle return to the fashion conversation, shedding its outdated reputation for something far more modern - and Oliver Bonas is leading the resurgence with an especially delightful blouse.
Featuring a chic gingham pattern reminiscent of picnic blankets, the countryside charm-laden top is one of the standout pieces on the Oliver Bonas website. Designed in navy and white, the blouse breathes new life into the peplum style for 2026, abandoning over-the-top ruffled detailing in favour of something far sharper and more polished.

Much like the brand’s stellar dress selection, the top comes with flattering, confidence-boosting sleeves, which is great news if your top priority isn’t just looking good - it’s feeling good too. Sadly, the blouse doesn’t come with pockets, but its intricate detailing and Peter Pan-style collar more than make up for the lack of storage.
The button-down detailing is brilliant too, making the blouse incredibly versatile and ideal for welcoming a cool breeze during the balmy summer months. Simply unbutton a few at the bottom for a casual yet chic touch, and tuck one side into your jeans, trousers or favourite skirt for a half-tuck - a playful twist on the classic French tuck.
