A couple different ways to sport a tunic sweater

Tunic sweaters originate from ancient Romans and Greeks.  These versatile style tops are typically longer than your average hemline and typically come down past your butt and hips but above your knee.  A long tunic sweater is very cozy and warm in the winter since it covers so much more of your body than a standard length sweater.  Tunics are meant and designed to be layered and while you can actually find tunic dresses out there, many regular tunics aren’t meant to be worn alone.  The best way to wear a tunic sweater is with skinny jeans, leggings, or tights.  Tights themselves shouldn’t be worn alone since they are not very flattering to your bottom therefore; the cover up job a long tunic sweater does is its perfect match up.

When you wear different pants with a tunic sweater you can completely change the look.  Going from professional to casual is as simple as changing out of slim fitting slacks to jeggings or skinny jeans.  Jewelry, shoes, and accessories can help you finish off the look you are going for.

You can wear a form fitting tank or camisole under a tunic sweater and layer a coat or jacket over long sleeve tunic sweaters depending on the weather.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, tall women are the most difficult to fit for a tunic sweater.  There is a solution however; tall women can look just as good as the rest of us in a tunic sweater dress.  If you’re a woman over 6’ tall, chances are you can actually pull a tunic sweater dress off as a regular tunic.  You’ll still have to wear leggings or skinny jeans but you’ll find that most normal length tunic sweater dresses are perfect for your extra height.

I know I have constantly harped about not wearing tunic sweaters with skirts, which I still hold true, however you can wear a long skirt with a nice camel tunic sweater and it will look fine.  If you have some ladies tunic sweaters that fit like a blouse, you can pair it with a long pencil skirt.
