Tunics

Tunics have been the ultimate in fashion since ancient times. Nothing much has changed in this respect. Their loose, airy design makes them incredibly comfortable and flattering to wear. Many tunics are thigh-length and therefore long enough to be worn as a dress.

The tunic – the perfect choice for many different occasions

Whether for leisure, the office or nights out, tunics are wonderfully versatile and can be worn on any occasion. Loose-fitting, slip-on tunic blouses are just incredibly practical. A shorter style is great for everyday office wear. Muted colours such as black, grey or navy blue work well teamed with trousers and a blazer to create the perfect business outfit. For cycling, a short tunic is perfect in combination with shorts or cycling shorts. Long tunic-style dresses fit the bill for a trip to the theatre or cocktail evening. Just add a belt to accentuate your waist. Tunics made of silk or satin with lace look particularly elegant.

Tunics are highly versatile

Elegant, playful or sophisticated: tunics are truly versatile and look great paired with almost any outfit. The bohemian look is currently very in. Colourful embroidery on white boho tunics recalls times long past, yet they're trendier than ever. A tunic with cut-outs sets the scene for a fun, playful outfit. Depending on the time of year, wide sleeves will protect you from the cold in cool temperatures. Create an elegant look with a long, black tunic with lace. Open styles go especially well with jeans and trainers.

Tunics: so many styles to choose from

One thing all tunics have in common is their relaxed shape. However, this is where the similarities end. No two tunics are alike – so you can choose from a wide variety of styles. V-neck tunics are often worn with skinny jeans and, depending on the time of year, with either pumps or sandals. Tunics with off-the-shoulder necklines and ruffles are also wildly popular and give your outfit a light, playful touch. A figure-hugging tunic will show off your waist to perfection. Here you have a choice between styles that already have a waistline and those that don't, where you can use a belt to recreate a fitted look.

Summary: tunics can do it all

Tunics come in a wide range of different styles, colours and patterns. They can be worn to almost any occasion and are fantastically versatile. They are just as suitable for everyday wear as they are for special occasions or the office. Tunics can be combined in many different ways to create all manner of different outfits.

FAQs

What are tunics?

Compared to blouses, tunics are cut looser and have cords, tassels and decorative collars instead of buttons. A tunic blouse finishes about hip level while tunic dresses are cut slightly longer. The tunic was worn as far back as the Middle Ages and even in ancient Rome. At the time, it was extremely popular with both women and men. 

How do you wear a tunic?

Tunics originate from a traditional garment that was worn in ancient Rome. Of course, nowadays we style tunics differently to how they were worn back then. Wear yours the fresh, modern way. Don't overload it – and wear either little or no jewellery with it. Don't style your tunic to be too dressy. Make sure your outfit feels at least a little casual.

How do you wear a tunic dress?

Depending on the style, some tunic dresses resemble a nightgown at first glance. But this can be easily avoided with the right outfit. Add a gorgeous hip belt to your tunic to show off your waist to perfection. When it comes to matching jewellery, make sure to avoid any hint of a nightgown look. Some tunics are especially voluminous. To make your outfit look longer, try adding high heels.
