What Not To Buy

There are so many different styles that are coming back, but what most people don't understand is that tunic tops seem to be great to wear. It's a wonder why these dresses and tops are a big fashion it. Nearly every girl will have some kind of tunic item in her wardrobe, but when I think of tunic, I think of baggy. In some cases it makes some people feel better after they've eaten more than they can chew. I admit some tunic tops and dresses are designed pretty. But are these tops made for us girls to hide behind as we are conscious about our body shape, or are they actually fashionable and made for us to look good?

I admit I have fallen for the fashion idea of ‘tunics are fashionable’, and completed my wardrobe with a fair few, but I know that they look stupid on me, yet I still buy them because they look good on the catwalk models. In a bizarre way they look good on catwalk models, as they are unusually tall and bony, which in all fairness, doesn’t make the models look fat. If I’m allowed to speak freely, I do not think that tunics necessary suit petite and plump girls, as it makes them look almost stupid, but then I guess on some people, could look rather well.


As I walk around town, I see tunic tops in maternity shops of which I can see the point in designing such a trend for them. For young teenagers and people who are fashion conscious, I see it as a design that professional fashion designers found inspiration from observing pregnant women. On women who are massively tall may get away with wearing tunics however, it can also make them look lanky and dying of starvation, other times it allows them to seem as though they have put on weight. So those who are petite and plump, don’t threat, almost every women and girl looks stupid as each other.

Almost everyone that I know, that has purchased a tunic design, find that these tops make them shapeless and seem pregnant. So why would you still scrape cash from your purse and buy one? The answer is that tunics are in and despite liking or disliking this trend, tunics are a must have. However there is a way of making tunics suit you but adding a waist belt, but why bother with that. Why not just buy a top or dress that fits you properly anyway? Again that answer to that is because they are in fashion and a must have, and without one your wardrobe wouldn’t be complete.

Tunic are all over town and in every shop you pass. Shops such as Topshop, ASOS website, oli website and even, if possible, maternity tunics "R" us. So of you havn't brough yours already, go down now and buy one. WARNING: You will look stupid! But so what, everyones got one. Besides, nobody will say you look bad, they'll just think it!
