A tunic would be longer -- sometimes even as long as mid-thigh front and back.&nbsp;</p> <p>A top as short as the one here should be worn with actual pants, not with leggings. Leggings are usually made of thinnish knits, and are revealing in a way actual pants are not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510927 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 15:49:09 +0000 annabelle 1510927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kiwigal</b> - the color itself is beautiful, and it is true to the Massimo Dutti photo. It even looks good with my complexion...technically. But it's just a little - to use a YLF favorite - twee on me.:)&nbsp; (If I keep it, I'll probably wear the top in its color until my dying gal can fit me on her schedule.) </p> <p><b>Robin</b> - great question about the difference between styling a tunic vs long top. As you could tell from my original post... I know nothing! haha&nbsp; I appreciate the ladies' rationale here that for something that doesn't cover the bootie - no leggings! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510797 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 09:16:37 +0000 Sal 1510797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with most of the others....cigarette style pants, flares, straight or slim jeans, even shorts. &nbsp;Or a slim fit skirt. &nbsp;I think to get the lovely drape the bottom needs to be slim.</p> <p>I actually really like the colour, it could work with greys, denim or maybe navy to make it less sweet? &nbsp;Or is the colour itself that you find unflattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510775 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 05:57:58 +0000 Marley 1510775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - any type of skinny bottom - except for leggings - would look good with this length of top.</p> <p>Robin, to me a tunic is a top that completely covers the bum and crotch area - more like a short dress, than a top. &nbsp;This top that annabelle is showing is much shorter than that - although it does go below the waist - but definitely does not cover the butt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510769 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 04:30:36 +0000 kerlyn 1510769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely think skinny jeans would look great, but I'm also a fan of bootcuts with this type of top and a pair of wedge sandals. &nbsp;It just looks long and lean(at 5'4" I like any outfit that gives that illusion!) &nbsp;</p> <p>Robin, for me I prefer a longer length tunic with leggings just for a bit more coverage. &nbsp;I think the structure of skinny jeans allows them to be worn with a bit shorter top, although I still most often prefer longer length tunics with any type of slim bottom. &nbsp;I don't know the technical difference, but for me a tunic is longer and provides more coverage with leggings.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510767 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 04:13:20 +0000 Robin 1510767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope I'm not hijacking Annabelle's thread if I ask a question?</p> <p>As a fan of long tops, I'm curious about the difference between a long top and a tunic. That is, why are people saying here that this top is long enough to wear with any sort of bottoms, except for leggings?</p> <p>Trying to understand....Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510746 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 02:54:26 +0000 Maneera 1510746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fitted cropped pants, skinnier (both denims and non-denim) and fitted pencil skirts. If you are tall with longer legs, you can wear them with flared/boot cut jeans too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510731 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 02:21:50 +0000 Anonymous 1510731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar sleeveless tunic that I like with slim bottoms. My favorites are a black pencil skirt and a pair of cropped black silk jogging pants.<br /> I find that the weight of the extra fabric in front can cause the neckline to gape and expose more than I'd like if I lean over. I wear a cami under the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510727 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 02:00:47 +0000 carter 1510727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to all the pants you just posted. This combo is basically all I wear during the Summer. You can see multiple real-life examples in my June challenge posts. It can at least highlight which proportions don't please you;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510691 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:40:05 +0000 annabelle 1510691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys - you have me thinking to pair it with these slim cropped pants, yes?&nbsp; THANK YOU!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510685 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:27:30 +0000 Brooklyn 1510685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS I should have mentioned that my jeans are fitted in the thigh area but flare out below the knee. Dont want too much volume in the thigh area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510683 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:24:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1510683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In summer I wear tunic length tops over flared or boot cut jeans and chunky sandals. It's a volume over volume look but I think it works, especially in the heat. I would also wear that type of top over denim shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510682 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:23:45 +0000 kerry 1510682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, tunic is covering the bottom. I ere on the side of extra long often using dresses as tunics. To me this is a longer top but not a tunic. Like Daria says, I'd wear it with any slim bottom except leggings. Nice top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510675 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:16:51 +0000 Daria 1510675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's too short to be worn with leggings, right?<br />Any skinny pants/jeans would be great. Skinny bermuda shorts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-summer-tunic#post-1510672 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:14:28 +0000 annabelle 1510672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually wear untucked tops that go tunic length on me, in the summer. It's not an aversion - just inexperience. Can you please offer styling ideas for me on this top? It is a great weight and it fits like a dream. (It also is on sale, if any of you are inclined.) I probably will have it dyed to a marine blue or a warm grey color. It's a bit sweet for my complexion in its current aqua state.</p> <p>I appreciate you guys! </p>
