Knitted tunics
The tunic was the daily wear of the men of Ancient Rome, representing a bag-like long jacket with armholes from the head and arms. This cut was very convenient for doing household chores or any kind of work.
In ancient Rome, tunics of representatives of different classes had characteristic elements denoting hierarchical affiliation.
With the passage of time and the emergence of new fashion trends, the tunic ceased to be a part of men's clothing and took its place in the women's wardrobe, becoming an irreplaceable summer attribute and undergoing some changes in the appearance of the product.
Advantages
This item is very light and free, therefore it is indispensable in the hot summer period. The wide neckline can be rounded or v-shaped, which makes it easy to put on the tunic.
The loose cut leaves a feeling of lightness and freedom, and the slightly elongated bottom allows the tunic to be used as a beach option and to be worn only on a swimsuit.
In addition, quite often fashionable tunics have decorative elements that give the product an elegant look, making it quite suitable for festive events.
Fashionable styles
Tunics, like any other element of clothing, have a fairly diverse range of models, but each of the models adheres to the basic concepts - a free cut and an elongated bottom.
Models of tunics with a hood are most suitable for a beach holiday or spending time in nature with friends. The hood is not some kind of functional element, since the thin fabric is not able to protect either from wind or rain.
But as a decor, the hood looks very appropriate, giving the product a sporty look.
Some models of tunics have drawstrings at the waist, which emphasize the upper part of the figure, making the product look more feminine.
Very often tunics have side cuts, up to the beginning of the buttocks or above. This element gives the product a certain flirtatiousness and playfulness.
Some tunics have square patch pockets sewn onto the front of the garment. There are also options with sewn, internal side pockets.
Models from dense jersey
Tunics made of dense knitted fabric will be relevant in the cooler season and are perfect for girls with any type of figure. Dense knitwear will perfectly hide the flaws, and will also favorably emphasize the advantages.
In addition, thick knitted tunics are used as casual wear by many girls.
Sleeve
The sleeve of the tunic can be not only short, but also have more elongated models. For example, 3/4, be elbow length or standard length - to the wrist.
Long sleeves are mainly used in models, because, thus, the product is more functional for cold weather.
Very often, in the pattern of the summer model of the tunic, the style of the bat sleeves is used, which makes the product even lighter and more airy.
Length
One of the differences in the style of tunics is the length.
A long tunic may well be used as a short knitted dress, since this model covers the buttocks and allows you to wear a tunic without a bottom.
Tunics of standard length can even be used as an element of business style, if they are made in the form of a discreet monochromatic model of a light shade.
Smart
Many tunics decorated with decorative elements look very elegant and festive.
For example, embroidery with silvery or golden threads in the form of oriental patterns looks very beautiful and unusual.
Some tunics have a collar embroidered with beads, as well as decorative elements in the form of beads or small rhinestones.
In some cases, beautiful belts are a decorative element, which are often used in conjunction with tunics.
Home
The tunic, due to its loose fit, is also a rather comfortable option for home clothing. Made from a soft knitted fabric containing viscose, it is pleasant to the body and practical to use, since it does not hinder movements and does not crush various areas of the body.
Manufacturers
Many brands are engaged in the production of tunics, but the quality of the product, to a greater extent, depends on the quality of the material from which it is made.
The well-known Ivanovo jersey is the most popular and the highest quality of all domestic materials, so tunics made from it are not only beautiful, but also wear-resistant.
Belarusian knitwear is also famous for its high quality, therefore tunics of this production will serve for a long time.
Turkish models may be of lower quality, but still they are in no way inferior in appearance and correspond to all oriental traditions when it comes to colors and prints.
How to care?
It is necessary to care for a knitted tunic as well as for any knitted thing.
Before washing, you must carefully examine the label on the clothing and follow the instructions indicated there. Some knitted items are machine washable, delicate. Others only accept hand wash.
It is better to dry knitwear on a horizontal surface so that the products do not stretch and there are no traces of places that have been pinched on the dryer.
If there is a suede print on a knitted tunic with elements of fur or leather, then it is best to use dry cleaning services.
Usually, after careful drying, knitted tunics do not need to be ironed, but if such a need arises, it is best to do this from the wrong side, through damp gauze or a thin cloth.
If pellets appear on the product, it is better not to try to get rid of them with improvised means, but to use a specialized machine.
What to wear with?
Tunics can be combined with many things, due to which the images will be completely varied.
For example, a hooded tunic paired with sporty leggings of varying lengths can help you style the look.
Tunics go well with tight-fitting trousers and jeans, as well as tight skirts. Ballet flats or any shoes with heels are perfect for such images.
And for the summer heat, there is nothing better than a loose tunic paired with short shorts and flat sandals.
Fashion looks
A very interesting image in a business style is obtained by combining an ivory knitted tunic and black straight-cut trousers with arrows. In addition to this set, a small brown handbag and patent black heels are perfect.
The elongated tunic of the oversized model will look great as a short free dress, and in combination with light gray suede over the knee boots, the image will be stylish and sexy.
White skinny jeans are perfect for a loose gray tunic with a batwing sleeve. The look is lightweight, and black heeled ankle boots and stylish silver accessories will help to complement it.
