Stylish Tunics


Somewhere along the way tunics caught a bad rap and considering all the shapeless, tent-like options out there it's no wonder.  But, that time of year when you just want to throw on something easy and head into the sunshine is finally here and, luckily, there are tons of flowy — not baggy — options that fit the bill.  Whether you plan to wear your tunic poolside as a beach cover-up or layered over a pair of tailored pants for work, I've found the most stylish (and flattering!) shirt-dress-hybrids that you’ll keep at the front of your closet all Summer long.

Essentially, tunic tops are long shirts whose hemlines range from mid-thigh down to the knee. Their inspiration comes from ancient Greece and Rome and their styling can be found in trend driven fashion cultures around the world. What makes this clothing item so great is its versatility, which is key for those of you who will be jetsetting off to some destination this Summer.  Versatility is an absolute requirement when choosing your travel wardrobe, especially if you want to pack light and still look cute.

Wear these ethereal pieces with leggings for extra coverage.  For a casual look tuck your tunic into jeans and wear as a top.  To create the illusion that you are wearing a dress, pair your tunic with a basic skirt.  These highly feminine and delicate tunics serve equally well at a beach coverup.

Tunic tops come in a variety of fabrics and styles so you can choose the right one for you depending on the weather in your destination. Choose a light, airy fabric in the heat and cozy knit tunic sweaters in the cooler temperatures. Mix and match with the rest of your clothing for a stylishly practical travel wardrobe.  This season give the tunic another try and start by shopping the looks from Tory Burch below.  I guarantee you will love how you feel and look in these vibrant patterns, bold colors and easy silhouettes.
