Tunic dress - stylish and modern look

Dresses of the "tunic" style are often found in the wardrobe of women of fashion. These outfits are comfortable and suitable for a woman of any age. Modern tunic dresses are presented in many models, differing in style, colors, and fabrics used for their sewing.

Other features of the outfits of this style are:

• Loose fit.
• T-shaped silhouette.
• Lack of collar.

The sleeve in a tunic dress may be missing or have different lengths. Also, many models have side slits.

Tunics began to be worn back in the days of Ancient Rome and Greece, and it was not only women's clothing, but also an item of men's wardrobe.

The men's tunic was a product of medium length (up to the knees), while the women's tunic was different in length to the ankles. Almost always, the tunic was complemented with a strap, as well as a cape. A little later, tunics remained only in the wardrobe of women. They began to use stones and embroidery in their decoration.

In the Middle Ages, such clothes were worn only by priests, as well as people living in the East. From the middle of the 20th century, women began to wear the tunic again.

Now a dress of this style is in demand and regularly appears on the catwalks.

Tunic dresses are loved for their versatility, because such an outfit suits absolutely any woman, no matter what her physique or how old she is.

This style looks especially beautiful on tall girls and women of medium height. If the girl is tall, the tunic will be beneficial to emphasize the long legs. For beauties with average growth, such a dress is able to visually lengthen the line of the legs.

The big advantage of the "tunic" style dress is the ability to use such an outfit in the wardrobe of girls with fullness. A loose fit will help distract attention from imperfections in the waist area. This advantage of tunics is also loved by expectant mothers who do not want to focus on their growing tummy ahead of time.

Tunics in the wardrobe of fashionistas are often represented by the following models:

• Straight cut dresses with different lengths. A variation of this model can be a tunic slightly widened downwards.
• Wide beach dress. It is made from translucent materials and is worn on the beach. If such a tunic is worn in the city, then it must be complemented with jeans or trousers.
• Knitted turtleneck tunic. The model features a closed top and a length below the hips.
• Tunic shirt. This dress is similar to a man's shirt, but it is longer.
• High-waisted model. Under the bust, such a tunic often has an assembly, so such a dress is in demand among very thin girls and expectant mothers.
• "Bat". This is a summer version of a tunic dress that helps to hide the fullness.

Tunics may differ:

• Color scheme. Monochromatic tunic dresses are traditionally in high demand, but there are also many models with bright prints.
• Long. Dresses of this style are presented by models from ultra-short to floor-length products.
• Neckline. Most often, the neckline in a tunic dress is round or V-shaped, but there are also models with a square neckline.
• Decor. In addition to an interesting pattern, a tunic can attract attention with patch pockets, lacing, sequins, embroidery and other elements.

The classic colors in which dresses of this style are most often found include white, black and red. Blue and turquoise tunics are also popular. Products in shades of these colors are relevant at any time of the year, although light models are more often chosen for the summer period.

A tunic dress can refer to:

• Business style. Such tunics are laconic and austere, practically without finishing, mainly beige, gray and black.
• Romantic style. These tunic dresses are often decorated with draperies, bows, ruffles and other decor.
• Ethno-style. The peculiarities of such tunics are bright print and unusual cut.
• Gypsy style. These tunic dresses have puffy sleeves (they are often gathered with an elastic band) and a wide neckline.
• Eastern style. The characteristic features of such tunics are the presence of kimono sleeves, stand-up collars and other elements of Asian national dress.
• Sports style. These tunics often have long sleeves and a hood.

Tunics are very variable in length. You can see both short models and floor-length products, but the most common dresses of this style differ in knee length or slightly higher (up to mid-thigh).

If a woman wants to hide the fullness of the hips or uneven legs, long models are preferable, and thin girls with slender legs can easily wear a tunic with a mini length. Knee-length tunics look perfect on both slender young ladies and beauties with a magnificent figure.

A variety of fabrics are used for the manufacture of tunics. Summer models are traditionally made from lightweight materials such as chiffon and satin. Silk is often used for evening models, and wool, cashmere and knitwear are most in demand for sewing tunics for cool weather. Linen and cotton are widely used when creating ethnic-style outfits.

White tunic dresses take one of the leading places when choosing summer clothes.

In cool weather, girls prefer tunics made of warm fabrics, for example, knitted models that resemble an elongated sweatshirt.

In cold weather, tunic dresses made of wool and knitwear are in great demand. Often, models made from these materials are dull and monochromatic, and their length reaches below the knees. They are combined with a jacket or cardigan, as well as with boots with heels.

Knitted tunic dresses that emphasize the dignity of the female figure are in great demand. They usually look like an elongated sweater.

Warmth and comfort emanates from such things. You can purchase both thin summer models and warm ones for the autumn-winter period. If you want an exclusive, order hand-knitted tunic dresses from needlewomen. Knitted tunics are worn both independently and together with other clothes. An absolute must have!

Discreet models of dress-tunics of restrained colors are a good option for a business look. A plain tunic is successfully combined with black trousers or with a contrasting color pencil skirt.

In a tunic dress it is convenient to walk around the city with friends and go on a date. In the summer, the image should be created from a translucent tunic and light jeans or thin trousers.

You can also wear bright tunic dresses trimmed with embroidery, faux pearls, rhinestones or lace for a walk. Products with prints, both abstract and floral, are also very popular.

The tunic can be called one of the best options for beachwear. Such a dress made of translucent fabric is worn with sandals or flat sandals. Most often, beach versions of tunic dresses are represented by short models that can be worn with shorts or trousers.

• Summer tunics are worn with capri pants, pleated skirts, shorts, wide trousers, and breeches.
• In cool weather, jeans, tight tights, leggings, turtlenecks are worn under the tunic.

Beads or long chains with interesting pendants are well suited to tunic dresses. They should be avoided only if there is embroidery on the product itself. Also, a dress of this style is complemented with bracelets and earrings.

Many tunics go well with a belt or belt, especially if you want to emphasize a thin waist.

Winter tunic dresses are worn with leather or suede boots, which should have either high heels or wedges. If you choose flat-soled shoes for such a dress, it can visually reduce the height of the girl.

Also, a tunic above the knees looks attractive with openwork boots. If you put on trousers or shorts under a tunic, shoes for such a set can be presented with ballet flats or clogs.
