Women's Maelle Wool-Blend Peplum Top

Product Insights & Style Tips

In the Staud Women's Maelle Wool-Blend Peplum Top, the usually understated peplum goes architectural, playing with form and contrast in a design that's both avant-garde and decidedly wearable. The wool blend gives it a rich texture, and with the addition of viscose and silk, the fabric maintains a luxurious hand-feel. Its high neck and short sleeves offset the intricate deconstructed hem, showing off that edgy-chic sensibility we’ve come to expect from Staud. The raw hem and front zip closure add a touch of rebellion, making this piece a quietly powerful statement in black.

The Maelle top molds beautifully to the body—thanks to expert tailoring—while the French seams ensure a polished line throughout. The exposed front zip isn't just a closure; it’s a built-in accessory that modernizes a traditional silhouette. Its dimensional shape and refined fit allow it to smoothly layer under a structured blazer or stand alone over sleek trousers. The wool-blend material provides warmth without bulk, transitioning elegantly from office hours to art gallery openings with a simple change of accessories, effortlessly capturing the essence of contemporary sportswear.

Staud's knack for combining vintage vibes with modern lines is evident here, channeling a blend of practicality and edge that echoes current runway trends. The Maelle top can be paired with everything from leather pants to denim, making it an ideal piece for those who enjoy playing with stylistic contrasts and architectural details. It's a nod to power dressing of the past, reimagined for the modern-day style maven.
