Easy to put on and comfortable, the tunic is a garment that has been around for a very long time. The term tunica thus makes its appearance as early as Roman antiquity: this garment was the basic clothing of men of the time.
How then do we define a tunic? It is not a specific garment, but rather a category of clothing.

The tunic is a garment that can be very flattering, as long as it's chosen with care. Here are some tips on how to find the one that will perfectly sublimate you!
If it's too short, your tunic may get in the way of your daily life. If it's too long, it may pack your figure and not be very becoming.
Here's a simple tip for determining the optimal length: when you put on your tunic, put your arms at your sides. If the garment falls at the level of your fingertips, it's perfect!
This type of clothing can totally give you a slim and feminine figure. For this, opt instead for sleeves ¾, which will make your waist appear narrower by optical effect.
If your favorite tunic doesn't have ¾ sleeves, you can also roll up your sleeves. It is also possible to wedge your tunic on one side of your pants, so that it has an asymmetrical style that will make you look good.
Finally, wearing a leather belt with your tunic will show off your bust by adding style to your outfit!
Even for someone experienced in fashion, color matching is a subtle art, which requires special care. To avoid risking a tasteless match, here are two very simple rules:
🔸 If your tunic is light, pastel, or with faded patterns, favor a light bottom. If you put on colors that are too garish with patterns, it might not match well.
🔸 Choose colors that you like and enhance your skin tone. There are many tutorials on the internet to find the shades that make you glow. Sometimes the easiest way is to go through your wardrobe with the help of a kindred spirit, who will help you determine what looks best on you.
When you put on this type of clothing in mid-season or winter, it is essential to match it with pants. Here are some examples to help you.
Because they flatter most silhouettes, dark straight jeans are very popular. They look great with a pretty, colorful boho chic inspired tunic.
You can also opt for a narrow, skinny fit jean, which you will wear with heels or boots.
Highly trending lately, flare or wide jeans will be perfect to accompany a loose, long shirt. With wedge sandals with heels, you'll have a perfectly cohesive look that's right on trend!
This is a question that is often asked about tunics and minidresses. Indeed, leggings do not always have a good reputation in the fashion of fashion enthusiasts. This comes in particular from the fact that many of them are of poor quality: they tear easily, are too thin and their cut is not flattering.
So it can be possible to match your tunic with leggings, provided that you choose well these. They must be of quality, opaque and rather thick. If you want, you can also opt for a jegging: this is a type of jeans that looks like leggings, but will give you more style, because it is a real pant!
👉 This look may not be suitable for curvy women, or if your tunic is too short, especially in the back.
Looking for a lightweight outfit for the vacations? If your tunic is sufficiently long so that you can duck without any trouble, you can wear just this one. Remember to accessorize it with a skinny belt, jewelry and a nice pair of light sandals, to complete your summer look!

Wondering how to shoe with this type of clothing? I have prepared for you a small selection of shoes perfectly suited!
In summer, compound sandals are perfect shoes for those who want to have style without losing comfort. This is because they give you more freedom of movement than heeled sandals or pumps, but shape your figure in the same way as the latter.
👉 Don't hesitate to create acolor reminder by choosing shoes that match your tunic, or even the shade of your hair, for a "total look" effect!
By opting for classic booties, with a small heel, you don't risk to make a mistake of taste! These are suitable for all contexts, whether it's a night out with friends or a professional interview and will sublimate your silhouette!
👉 If your tunic is bohemian style, with warm patterns and colors, natural leather booties will be ideal!
Finally, if you're looking for an outfit to go out in, that gives you aunique and unmistakable style, don't hesitate to match your tunic with thigh-high boots. These will elongate your legs and make you look more glamorous than ever!
