The Versatility 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.

There are also a wide choice of fabrics available. Most of these are light in weight and comfortable to wear. Cotton is always popular and is suited to more casual activities. Silk is an elegant choice for evening wear and looks glamorous when combined with special accessories. Linen is another option that feels cool and looks classy. A jersey knit looks good on a straight figure, giving the appearance of curves.

Some lengths are also more flattering than others when it comes to body types and height. A length that is just above the knee is most common. However, tall people are able to wear longer styles and a shorter version can be unflattering. A short person, on the other hand, may be overwhelmed by one that is too long.

Patterns and colors also have an impact on the look. Bold floral designs look better on taller, thinner people while geometric patterns can help to disguise flaws like larger hips. Smaller patterns look better on shorter women. Pattern and color should also be selected according to the occasion. Darker colors look better at night and for more formal wear.

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.
