A tunic dress is a loose fitting dress style that drapes from the shoulders down. They are comfortable to wear and their simple silhouette makes them perfect for accessorizing. The key to looking fabulous in a tunic dress is choosing the right style for your body type.
The following is a brief guide on selecting a tunic dress to match your body shape. It also suggests accessories that would be best paired with your tunic dress:
Apple shaped women
If you have a full stomach and lean limbs, you are likely to find that the tunic style dress is a dream come true. This is because the style doesn't cling to the stomach. Look for a style that falls in folds over your tummy, as it will conceal any lumps and bumps. Try to look for a sleeveless style, or one with fitted sleeves, because this will draw attention to your slimmer arms. Leggings and hosiery look great with tunic style dresses and they are the perfect way to draw attention to lean legs. Or try partnering your tunic with a nice cuff, or perhaps a couple of bangles. Steer clear of belts, because they will bring the focus back to your stomach.
Pair shaped women
The key to making a tunic work for a curvy bottom and hips is to choose a style that has volume at the sleeve area. This will help balance your shoulders and hips. Think puff sleeves and boat neck style necklines When it comes to accessories, a belt worn slightly high on the waist will draw attention to your slimmer region, whilst creating an A line effect over your bottom half. Take care, not to wear your belt further down on the waist or hips, because this is likely to draw attention to your fullest area.
Top heavy women
Top heavy women suit tunic styles that feature deeper necklines, so look for a V neck, or low scoop neck style. Steer clear of sleeves that are either too tight, or too voluminous. Your aim is to minimize the upper body. Highlight your slim hip region by wearing a feature belt slung low over the hips.
Hourglass shaped women
The hourglass shaped figure is well proportioned at the shoulders and hips, so the goal when wearing a tunic is to keep this balance in check. The best way to do this is to choose a basic tunic style and belt it with a wide belt at waist height. This will draw attention to your tiny waist and create desirable curves above and below this point.
Good luck shopping for the perfect tunic dress!
