The Appeal Of Tunic Style Dresses

By Etta Bowen


Tunics are very versatile and can be worn for many different occasions by women of all ages, shapes and sizes. Most women have tunic style dresses in their closets. When buying these items, it is important for a woman to choose the style most flattering for her particular body shape. This should be the first consideration with colors and pattern also being chosen to conceal or reveal flaws and assets.

It is very easy to find colors and styles that appeal due to the wide selection available. Everything from polka dots to stripes and floral patterns are available in a multitude of different colors. Woman have to bear in mind when making a choice that certain patterns, colors and styles attract attention to certain parts of the body whilst others conceal them.

Fabric plays an important part too and should be chosen with various considerations in mind such as the occasion, comfort and again, body type. Cotton is popular and is always cool and comfortable. Silk is elegant and suitable for evening wear. A linen is also cool and classy too.

Length also has an effect on the success of the garment. One that ends at the thighs can be quite unflattering, particularly on a tall person. They usually look better in one which sits just above the knee. A short person can look more dumpy in one that is too long.

Body shapes are so different and this inevitably means that what looks great on one person does not suit another. Someone with a larger stomach will often need to select a looser cut to conceal it. Someone with an hourglass figure is able to wear a close fitting style. An A-line shape often looks best on women with larger hips and thighs.

The proper accessories can do a great deal to give this garment more versatility. The color, size and style of pendants or necklaces instantly transform its appearance. Other types of accessories that can change the look are belts, shoes, and handbags. The only shoes that do not look good with these garments are athletic shoes.

A woman should avoid wearing loose or baggy pants with these garments because they can make her look heavier. Tighter fitting pants balance out a looser, flowing top. Leggings or skinny jeans often compliment such a garment best when it comes to layering.

Tunics work for almost any occasion, whether informal or formal. They also look good on most women, if the right style is chosen to compliment the body shape. Different types of tunics can be viewed to decide which cuts, styles, and patterns work best with a particular body type. When shopping online, choice is narrowed down by filtering according to size, color, brand, occasion, or price range to find what is most suitable.
