When you think of tunics it may bring to mind images of Vikings, Romans and the three musketeers, but a tunic top is a great addition to any woman’s wardrobe. A tunic is basically a simple, loose-fitting pullover garment, usually long, with sleeves and an opening for the head. Often they are belted, and the neckline varies. Tunics are especially good for keeping warm during the chill winter months, but they are not only for winter despite the fact they can cover you down to your knees. Tunics are a great summer accessory and perfect spring wear for any occasion. A tunic top looks great on anyone. You can easily find a tunic top that will flatter your figure and fit with your style preferences.
One of the best choices for spring or summer is a floral print tunic. Floral print tunics are a nice and bright choice for spring. The best spring fabrics are silk and satin. These light and airy fabrics will help keep you cool as they keep the sun off of your skin. Tunic styles come in both long and short sleeves so you so not need to cover all if you do not feel like it. Choosing to pair a floral print tunic with a simple pair of jeans is a great way to stand out by looking great. Choosing form fitting jeans compliments this style best. You may also want to wear high heels or wedged heels to really complete this look. Bright sunny colored floral prints look stunning with deep dark blue jeans. Consider adding some sort of funky necklace. There are also many bold prints that are not floral that could look great paired with jeans. Tunics are also now great beach wear. A tunic is a good swimwear accessory. A light sheer tunic top will look great over your swimsuit. The tunic top will also help protect you from the sun. The best styles are a bit see-through. They look best spiced up with something shiny like gold beads. Choose a gold or copper tone or try to match the color with your swim wear.
Another great look is to pair loose trousers with a satin tunic top. Satin is especially in this spring so combining the hip look of a tunic with the sexy satin is a sure hit. Dark wide legged trousers are best. You can also add a light or white scarf with a designer belt. If you are going to be out and about the sunglasses will complete this look. If you are feeling especially bold you may want to try a metallic skirt paired with a silky red tunic top. This is a fashion trend that has survived into this year from the last. So you will be especially stunning and hip in a metallic skirt with red tunic blouse. Choose a silk tunic with embroidery around the neck and around the sleeves. If the skirt is short then make sure the tunic is too. Don’t be caught wearing a knee-length tunic in a skirt. You should wear a tunic that stops at the waist with this style of skirt. Flats are fine with this look as are the wedge heels or even some sling backs.
For all around wear with anything you simply need to reach for a mid-length cotton tunic top. These tops go with any style of women’s slacks. These stretchy cotton tunics are comfortably casual and will make your lazy spring days all the more enjoyable. Any color is fine with these but some fun choices are black, sky blue and raunchy reds.

The ideal pairing here would be a pair of form fitting jeans and some form of shiny metallic footwear.
Another less common option is a button down tunic top. These are usually knee-length tunics. These tunics are a great choice for most any party. They can be worn with trousers or with a skirt. Ideal footwear is ballet flats or wedged heels. A black belt with a red tunic of this style is one exciting option. The bag you carry would look best in a matching style and color.
