Style tips
Tunics are characterised by the look of mediaeval simplicity, when upper clothing was made in two pieces sewn at the sides, with the neck slit the only difference between the front and back pieces. The modern tunic adds figure-flattering choices of necklines, but retains the effortless ‘loose’ shape. It’s cool enough for summer and warm enough for winter. Leave it as is or cinch it with a belt. Add a slender contrast to the tunic’s width by wearing skinny jeans or leggings with ankle-boots or gladiator sandals. Mind your heels. A tunic and its bohemian vibe doesn’t match stilettos. Cut-out shoulders make the tunic sexy without compromising the innocent, I-dress-for-comfort look.
