Peplum Jacket Guide 2026: 6 New Safiyaa Evening Separates

The peplum jacket to buy from Safiyaa this season is the Dorinda Jacket in Golden Ivory, a sequin-shimmer tweed peplum with black satin trims from the Resort 2027 drop. Safiyaa prices it at GBP 1,595, Coveti lists it at $3,080 with worldwide shipping, and the house pairs it with its own matching skirt and trousers.

Around the Dorinda sit two more new jackets and three new tops, all designed to be worn as evening separates rather than daywear. This guide takes each one in turn, then shows how to build them into full looks with the skirts and trousers already on Coveti. Every price below is the current Coveti price in US dollars unless we say it is Safiyaa’s own price in pounds.

What is a peplum jacket, and why does Safiyaa cut one for evening?

A peplum jacket is a fitted jacket with a short flared panel below the waist, and Safiyaa uses it to give evening separates the same shape a gown would.

The peplum does two jobs at once. It marks the waist, and it adds a little volume at the hip that balances a straight skirt hem and a straight trouser leg. For a house built on architectural eveningwear, that matters: the Dorinda reads as a complete look on its own, which is why it can stand in for a gown at a formal dinner when worn with the matching skirt.

Safiyaa’s reputation rests on structure. The label was founded in London in 2011 by Daniela Karnuts, who describes it as “demi-couture at a ready-to-wear price point”, and its signatures include stretch heavy crepe, Tech Duchess satin, cape silhouettes and detachable belts. The new jackets bring that same thinking to separates. If you want the background first, our guides to who Safiyaa is and whether Safiyaa counts as a luxury brand cover the house in detail.

Which Safiyaa evening jackets are new for Resort 2027?

Three jackets arrived with Resort 2027, which Safiyaa tags RS27 Drop 1: the Dorinda in Golden Ivory tweed, the Omona in Darkest Spruce and the Wynnie Embroidered Jacket in black.

Dorinda Jacket in Golden Ivory

The Dorinda is the peplum of the drop. It is cut in Golden Ivory, a sequin-shimmer tweed, and finished with black satin trims. Safiyaa sells it at GBP 1,595; on Coveti it is $3,080.

Safiyaa styles the Dorinda two ways. The first is with the Paline Skirt in Golden Ivory, a tweed midi with a front slit, at $1,960. The second is with the Jeona Trousers in Golden Ivory, a straight leg with split hems edged in black satin, at $2,340. The skirt version is the softer, more traditional choice for a wedding; the trouser version is sharper and works well for a gala, an awards dinner and a winter christening alike. Our full Safiyaa tweed suits guide covers the Golden Ivory pieces in depth.

Omona Jacket in Darkest Spruce

The Omona Jacket in Darkest Spruce is a cropped crepe jacket with ruffle cuffs in Garfield Green Tech Duchess, a brighter green satin that contrasts with the deep spruce body. Safiyaa prices it at GBP 1,695; Coveti lists it at $3,270.

The cropped length is the point. It sits above a high waistband, so Safiyaa pairs it with the Alexa Trousers in Darkest Spruce, a high-waisted trouser with a mild flare, at $1,120. Together the two make an evening trouser suit at $4,390 on Coveti. We look at this pairing for weddings in our mother of the bride trouser suits guide.

Wynnie Embroidered Jacket in Black

The Wynnie Embroidered Jacket in Black is the most decorated piece in the drop. It is double-breasted and embroidered with crystal and velvet florals. Resort 2027’s black pieces use what Safiyaa calls “Nox” crystal and velvet flower embroidery, built on the Markesha motif. Safiyaa prices the Wynnie at GBP 2,195; on Coveti it is $4,200.

Because the embroidery carries the look, the Wynnie wants plain partners: a black crepe trouser, a black skirt, even a simple black column dress worn underneath as a coat-dress layer. It is the jacket in this guide that most easily replaces jewellery.

Which Safiyaa evening tops pair with a skirt and trousers?

The three new tops are the Otora in ivory, the Aime Embroidered Top in black and the Dienna Embroidered Top in ivory, and each one suits a different neckline preference.

Otora Top in Ivory

The Otora Top in Ivory has a boat neck, a draped peplum and three-quarter sleeves. It is the entry point to the drop at GBP 795, and $1,590 on Coveti. If you like the peplum idea but want something lighter than a tweed jacket, the Otora gives you the same waist definition in a top. It sits neatly over the Jeona Trousers and the Paline Skirt for a looser take on the Golden Ivory sets.

Aime Embroidered Top in Black

The Aime Embroidered Top in Black has an asymmetric neckline, long sleeves and embroidery at the shoulder. Safiyaa sells it at GBP 1,195; Coveti lists it at $2,340. Long sleeves make it one of the most useful pieces here for winter events and for modest dressing. Earlier Aime tops in colours such as pansy, crimson and ivory are also on Coveti; check each listing for its exact cut.

Dienna Embroidered Top in Ivory

The Dienna Embroidered Top in Ivory is a halter with a crystal bow. Safiyaa prices it at GBP 895, and it is $1,780 on Coveti. The halter shows the shoulders, so it suits a summer party, a warm-weather wedding and a black tie dinner indoors. Wear it with the Alexa Trousers for a two-colour look, and add one of Safiyaa’s evening shawls if the venue is cool.

How do the Resort 2027 tops and jackets compare?

The table sets the six new pieces side by side, with Safiyaa’s own price in pounds, the Coveti price in dollars and the partner pieces the house suggests.

Two sets on that list are complete outfits as Safiyaa designed them. The Dorinda and Paline come to $5,040 on Coveti, the Dorinda and Jeona to $5,420, and the Omona and Alexa to $4,390. Buying a set is a good way to get the precision of a Safiyaa gown with more ways to rewear it.

What should you wear with a peplum jacket for evening?

Keep everything below the peplum narrow, because the flare already adds shape at the hip and a full skirt underneath will fight it.

• A straight midi skirt. The Paline is the obvious partner for the Dorinda. A front slit keeps it easy to walk in.
• A straight trouser. The Jeona matches the tweed exactly. A plain black crepe trouser, such as the Teodora Trouser in Black at $1,960, turns the jacket into the hero piece instead.
• A slim column dress. A peplum jacket worn open over a simple long dress gives you sleeves for a ceremony and a bare gown for the dinner afterwards.
• Minimal jewellery. The black satin trims and sequin shimmer are decoration enough. A single pair of earrings is plenty.
• Closed shoes with a slim heel. The tweed reads as winter, so a sandal looks odd unless the event is indoors and warm.

For the peplum top, the same rule holds. The Otora works best over slim trousers and straight skirts, and it is ideal for women who find a fully fitted jacket too formal.

Which earlier Safiyaa jackets and tops are still on Coveti?

Coveti carries more than 80 Safiyaa jackets and more than 190 tops, so the Resort 2027 pieces sit beside a deep back catalogue that includes the autumn and winter 2026 drops.

From the pieces that arrived on Coveti in September 2026, the Chiabella Jacket in Pale Blue with Crystal at $3,270 is a soft, light evening option, and there is a plain version without crystal at $2,900. The Perla Jacket in Silvery Grey at $3,460 is a strong choice for a winter wedding where black feels too severe. In black, the Gillian, Femi and Ivy jackets give you three different cuts to compare on the jackets page.

If you prefer a cape to a jacket, the Devon Cape in Black at $1,945 is one of several Safiyaa capes listed as tops, alongside the Ollie Cape in Crimson and the Olivier Cape in Buttermilk. Capes are a Safiyaa signature; Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wore a pale blue caped Safiyaa gown at the state dinner in Fiji in October 2018, and our Safiyaa cape dresses guide covers the silhouette in full.

For tops in the AW26 colour story, the Yura Top in Rhubarb at $1,590 brings Safiyaa’s deep red to a separate, and the Kendall Top in Lilac Snow at $2,321 matches the pale lilac of the new Resort 2027 gowns. Browse the full range on the tops page and the matching skirts page.

How do Safiyaa jackets and tops fit?

Safiyaa notes that most styles fit true to size, and the brand chart runs from FR34 (UK6, US2) to FR48 (UK20, US16).

Coveti lists Safiyaa clothing in UK sizes. For reference, Safiyaa’s ecommerce model is 175cm (5 ft 9 in) and wears FR36. A cropped jacket like the Omona is less forgiving across the shoulders than a top, so if you sit between sizes, contact Coveti before ordering and we will help you choose. Our Safiyaa size guide has the full detail, including belt and glove sizing.

When are evening separates a better choice than a gown?

Separates win when the event runs across a whole day, when the dress code is formal without being black tie, and when you want pieces you can rewear.

A wedding with a church service, a reception and a late dinner is the classic case. A peplum jacket with a midi skirt covers the arms and shoulders for the ceremony, then comes off to show a top underneath for dancing. A gala with a seated dinner is another. Trousers are practical, and a jacket like the Wynnie gives the same sense of occasion as an embellished gown. For the rules of the most formal dress code, our guide on how to dress for a black tie event explains where separates fit.

Rewear is the other argument. The Dorinda works with both its matching skirt and its matching trousers, and the Aime top goes with almost any black skirt in your wardrobe. A gown is one look. A jacket, a top and two bottoms are at least four.

How do you care for tweed, crepe and embroidered separates?

Dry clean only: that is Safiyaa’s instruction for its crepe and embellished pieces, and it is the safe rule for the tweed and Tech Duchess too.

• Store jackets on a shaped hanger so the peplum and shoulders keep their line.
• Keep embroidered pieces such as the Wynnie flat in a breathable bag if you are travelling, so the crystals do not catch.
• Steam crepe gently from the inside rather than pressing the face of the fabric.
• Spot-check satin trims before cleaning and point them out to your dry cleaner.

Some Safiyaa styles are made to order with dispatch in four to six weeks, so allow time before a fixed date. Coveti ships worldwide from our UAE and Australia hubs, duties are calculated at checkout, and every piece is 100 percent authentic. For the whole new collection, see our Safiyaa Resort 2027 edit, and for winter events read our Safiyaa winter wedding guest dresses guide. Everything we stock from the label is on the Safiyaa brand page.
