Like a Breeze in the Wind: 4 Tips for Wearing a Tunic in Style

Do you like the look of tunics but feel you can’t pull off wearing one? Many women are hesitant to purchase a top of this type because they worry it will simply make them look bigger than they are or are playing in their mother’s closet. Don’t let this hold you back if you like this clothing style. Consider the following tips when choosing and wearing a tunic to ensure you look your best at all times.

• Choose the Right Shape

Tunics are meant to flatter the body, and women need to make certain they purchase a tunic that highlights their curves. Women with a small waist will want to select a top with an empire waist, as this helps to showcase a trim figure. Other tunics feature a straight cut and need a belt or another item to provide the desired look. Select a braided belt that aligns with the navel or chooses a wide belt to provide a slimming effect.

• Choose the Right Shoes

The right footwear needs to be selected when wearing a tunic. For example, a casual tunic can be work with shorts and a pair of sneakers, just be certain the shorts show under the tunic. If you are short and wish to wear a tunic, put on a pair of heels or wedges. Doing so helps to add more visual height to the lower leg, which balances out the length of the tunic. Of course, by choosing a tunic that is the same shade as the bottoms, a woman can make herself appear taller as well because there is no visual break in the clothing line.

• Pair with Fitted Pants

Never wear a tunic with wide-leg, baggy, or palazzo pants.  Pants that are oversized leave the wearer with a sloppy or bulky look when paired with a tunic, and the woman looks heavier as a result. Complement the tunic with a pair of leggings or fitted pants for a look that is truly flattering. If jeans are the desired bottom, go for skinny jeans that hug the leg to avoid the problem of a bulky look. If a fitted tunic is selected, boot-cut pants are a good item to pair with this top.

• Cover It Up

If you find a billowy tunic that you love, don’t hesitate to combine it with a jacket for a tailored look as opposed to a sloppy one. A shrunken jean jacket is good for combining with a tunic or a woman might choose to put on a cropped angular jacket. The options are endless as long as the finished look is long and lean, as opposed to full and pouffy. No woman wants to look bigger than she is, and the right combination of apparel can ensure she doesn’t.

Try a number of tunics to find the one that is most flattering to your figure. Don’t overlook accessories when putting together an outfit. When women take the time to try different looks, they find tunics to be very versatile. In fact, a woman can go from a day at the office to a night out on the town simply by changing her accessories and shoes when wearing a tunic. It’s a great item every woman should have in her wardrobe.
