The Floral Tunic
After a winter of dark colours and thick knits, it is always such a welcome change to move into spring and start wearing something a bit lighter and brighter. Of course as we well know the weather in spring time can be really changable ranging from as hot as mid summer to as cold as mid winter. But the days are beginning to get longer and floral patterns are the perfect way to cheer ourselves up. There is nothing quite like a bright floral pattern to make you feel on top of the world. We love this floral tunic not only for its cheery bold colours but also for its amazing versatile style.
A tunic works so well for those days when you want something a bit more feminine than trousers and a top but don’t want to go the whole hog and wear a dress. Its long line and ability to cover tummy, hips and thighs make it instantly flattering and great for those that are not 100% confident with their body. It flowing shape is elegant and chic making it suitable for a range of occasions from formal to casual. Its long sleeves but loose fit mean that it works equally well for a cooler day or really hot day. The belt at the waist is great for adding some shape and the v neck is another really flattering feature.
The combination of pink and orange is particularly striking and unusual and the white background really make the flowers stand out for maximum effect. If there was just one item that I must have for my holiday wardrobe it would have to be a floral tunic, perfect for a cover up on the beach or by the pool, with denim shorts in the day and a pair of white trousers for the evening. The v neck also lends itself to being accessorised with a beautiful necklace. For an amazing holiday look, you could even try wearing a flower in your hair in either pink or orange.
Tunics are a really classic piece of clothing, perhaps because they are so comfortable to wear and flattering. They are a great investment that will work year after year and never go out of fashion. For an updated look for this year you could even try wearing a floral tunic with clashing floral or checked leggings. A daring but stylish look and one that is sure to get you noticed. Another great way to create a really colourful outfit is to team your floral tunic with some brightly coloured leggings or trousers, pink would look amazing for a hot summer day. For those who prefer to dress in a more classic style, a pair of neutral trousers of even jeans will work equally well.
To accessorise a floral tunic take your pick from neutral bag and shoes, perhaps a tan leather across the body bag and tan leather gladiator sandals. For a smarter outfit a bright pink, orange or white clutch bag will finish off this outfit perfectly.
