Summer tunics
In warm weather, when the sun is constantly shining and nature pampers us with good weather, we really want to look the part! Therefore, with the onset of the first truly hot days, women of fashion are happy to get rid of jeans and warm trousers that are boring for the winter, dressing in airy, bright outfits.
Light tunics take a special place in the summer wardrobe of a modern girl. This garment has been known to us since antiquity. Tunics are ideal for warm climates - they are thin, loose, do not restrict movement at all and are practically not felt on the body.
Our today's article is devoted to the features and varieties of fashionable summer tunics. We will tell you about what tunics are, how to choose them and what is best to wear with.
Models
To begin with, we would like to introduce you to the most popular and interesting models of women's tunics.
-
Tunics of simple cut will appeal to those who like to sew clothes on their own. Such a tunic can be cut out and sewn in just a couple of hours, and it will look just amazing.
-
Loose-cut tunics are wide, airy outfits that envelop you like a light cloud. Spacious tunics are especially fond of overweight young ladies, as this silhouette perfectly masks figure flaws.
-
Tunic dresses - this is the name for loose-fitting dresses that can be worn both on the naked body and complete with trousers or shorts.
-
Tunic shirts are very similar to the previous version, but have a more strict cut. Such tunics are characterized by the presence of "shirt" structural elements: a turn-down collar, buttons, patch pockets, cuffs, etc.
-
Sleeveless tunics are suitable for the hottest summer days. The undoubted advantage of such models is that they allow you to demonstrate a beautiful tan.
Length
Traditionally, tunics were knee-length, and they were worn in ancient times by both women and men. In ancient Rome, young girls also dressed in a shortened version of the tunic, which was called "interior", and on especially important events, for example, for a wedding, noble townspeople dressed in long "tekta" tunics.
Modern fashion has its own rules, which do not limit the length of the tunic. The only thing that matters is that a summer tunic should cover the top of the thigh so that it can be worn over a swimsuit like a beach dress.
Long tunics - below the knee and down to the ankles - look amazing. The flying, airy style does not even need additional decor, you just need to choose the right material and color of the tunic.
Styles
Summer tunics look completely different, because designers do not get tired of experimenting with this wardrobe element, creating models in different styles.
Sports tunics are more like oversized T-shirts or long sweatshirts. They go well with sneakers and leggings, and if the length allows as an independent bow.
Grunge tunics are reminiscent of the early days of underground culture. Careless, asymmetrical silhouettes, dark shades are the characteristic features of such models.
Rustic tunics are simple cuts, cottons, lanterns and ruffles, as well as invariable embroidery in the form of folk patterns.
Tunics in ethnic style are full of colors, ornaments and rich decor. Tunics in boho and eco styles can also be attributed to this category.
Fashion trends
In this fashionable season, summer tunics have not lost their relevance. To keep up with the latest fashion trends, when choosing a tunic, pay attention to models that fit one or more parameters:
- straight silhouette;
- midi or maxi length;
- minimalistic decor;
- bright color palette;
- geometric patterns (stripes, cells, etc.);
- oriental ornaments;
- rich, solid colors;
- large neckline;
- open shoulders;
- cut on the back.
Textile
For summer, try to choose clothes made from thin, breathable, mostly natural fabrics. Manufacturers, as a rule, sew light tunics from such materials.
Cotton fabrics are the most affordable, so cotton tunics are in greatest demand. Cotton is a soft material that is pleasant to the body and absorbs moisture well and allows air to pass through, so there is no better option for hot weather.
Lace tunics look really elegant and luxurious. Lace made from natural materials such as Italian cotton is especially highly valued. If you are uncomfortable in translucent, openwork things, take a look at tunics with lace inserts.
Chiffon tunics are weightless, airy splendor. Lightweight fabric drapes perfectly, helping to create a delicate and romantic look. If you choose the right accompaniment for such a tunic, then it can even become an evening dress (for example, for a beach party).
Color and print
The color scheme of summer outfits is usually more varied than in other seasons. In the summer, things of light and bright shades settle in our wardrobes, pushing aside monochrome demi-season and winter outfits.
-
A white tunic is one of the most successful solutions, especially if your skin has already had a beautiful tan. An alternative to this option can be an ivory tunic, a milky or creamy shade.
-
Juicy, saturated colors are what you need to pay attention to when forming a summer wardrobe. Lemon, turquoise, peach, emerald, crimson - such tunics will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.
-
A tunic with a print will adorn even the simplest and most modest look. Geometry, abstract drawings, floral ornaments, ethnic motifs are still in vogue now.
What to wear with?
Depending on the style of the summer tunic, it can be worn as an independent outfit or in combination with other things.Elongated tunics are worn in the same way as mini dresses, but it is important not to forget about spectacular shoes.
In addition, a summer tunic can be worn with skinny jeans, trousers or short shorts. When going for a walk along the beach, simply throw a tunic over your swimsuit. A stylish summer hat will complement the look.
