Pick up a tunic for autumn

The latest catwalk trends can sometimes be a little too much for ladies of a certain age.

Anyone over 25 would probably forgiven for not investing in any of this season’s high street trends, such as hotpants, short-suits and neon beachwear.

But the high-fashion shows for autumn/winter 2011-12 have unveiled a great look that’s absolutely perfect for over 50s women’s clothing: matching tunics with trousers.

Tunics are eye-catching, stylish and best of all, give your body a great shape through loose, flowing material. Rather than hugging your figure – and perhaps showing off the bits you’d rather not show off – tunics provide a great figure with little effort.

Whilst many high-fashion styles have featured off-the-shoulder looks with choker fasteners around the neck, t-shirt style tunics will work just as well.

Match with a pair of loose, floaty trousers and don’t worry about how the clothing hangs – it is supposed to.

Chic black tunics and trousers could be a great formal outfit or occasional dress, or spice it up with something bold, colourful and patterned to really put a statement to your style.
