Millennials left horrified after popular 2010s clothing item is spotted in stores a decade after going out of fashion

Peplum tops were last popular in the early 2010s and were often seen as a staple part of a night out ensemble, often paired with skinny chinos, a blazer and chunky studded high heels. The style, comprising of a piece of ruffled fabric that spans the waistline of a garment, is seemingly making a resurgence in high street stores.
This is much to the dismay of millennials who are shocked that the frilly item of clothing has completed a full fashion trend cycle already. Emma Fogarty, from Dublin, came across two peplum tops in a New Look store which were selling for £21.99 each.
The retailer is selling the shirt in a couple of basic colours so they can be styled easily with other clothes. Stunned, she wrote: 'You’re telling me that I have lived long enough to see the revival of the peplum top. Nahhhhh.'. This has racked up almost one million views on TikTok, as many other horrified millennials shared their thoughts on its resurgence.
One wrote: 'I'm not sure how I feel about these hahaha, used to wear them religiously.'. Emma Fogarty came across two peplum tops in a New Look store in Dublin which were selling for £21.99 each. Another penned: 'Oh I hated peplum first time around and at times, it was nigh impossible to find a top and dress that wasn't in that style.'.
A third said: 'Omg no! I'm 30 now but I used to be obsessed with these tops back in the day hahaha.'. A fourth simply commented: 'Please not again.'. Molly-Mae Hague was also recently seen wearing a bandeau peplum top last week as she celebrated the New Year.
