I love them both! They are flattering and very elegant - I think this is a great look. I like the patterned one a lot, and I like the black too. I think the black is very versatile as well, as others have said it will pair up beautifully with a scarf or other layers.
Keepers!

A big thumbs up from me as well, Alana. I love this silhouette on you.
(ETA: I was just about to suggest trying a dress/long tunic over skinnies/leggings on your other thread, and here you are, already rocking the look:-)

Here are two related looks for extra inspiration:

(you could layer a shirt or turtleneck top under the tunic or dress when it gets colder, and add booties, ankle boots, calf-length boots...)

Hi Alana - Just wanted to chime in and tell you how fab these outfits are!! I love tunics and I think both of these are uber flattering!! I wear a lot of boots and booties, so I second Angie's advice. Also the black is a perfect back drop for a long pendant, as E said an arty scarf, long vests - like the one Sveta got at NAS would be fantastic if the length was right, for a draped blardigan like cardigan for cooler weather, or a cocoon sweater a la Deborah's recent posts. Such a great elegant, interesting look!! You wear it so well!! Enjoy!!

I'm just coming back to say that I'm really smitten with this look for you, Alana. And there are so many possibilities (as mentioned by the other lasses too): add a beautiful scarf, an arty necklace, a great (moto) jacket or drapey cardigan. Pair the tunics with bottoms in other colours, add oxfords instead of booties...

For example, I quite like the idea of trying the tunics with a brighter-coloured legging too (it's another way to infuse brighter colours into your Winter wardrobe). Like this one in Royal Teal maybe.

And I also love the suggestion of trying the tunics with a long woven gilet, knit sleeveless cardigan or arty drapey cardigan when it gets colder.

This cardigan might work with longer-length tunics and will definitely work with regular trousers and regular length tops (thumbs up from me as well to add more high-low hemline or asymmetric tops into your wardrobe).

(Deep Purple, Deep Teal, Marine Blue and Merlot all look great)

ETA: I'm not sure fleece is the way to go, but this type of drapey silhouette will look great with the tunic + leggings look.

Love the tunics on you!

I'm glad you enjoyed the lagenlook stuff!

OK, I promise to shut up after this, but I had to show you these grey houndstooth leggings at The Bay, Alana. I absolutely love them for you.

A patterned bomber jacket like the one below could also be fun to wear over your column of black (black H&M tunic and leggings).
The metallic cardigan could work too.
And the striped sweater is a fun one to wear with regular pants and jeans.

Late to the party but glad I joined! Both of these tunics look super, and I'm particularly smitten with the printed one on you. Lovely! Lots of great advice (and loads of great visuals from Inge!), just wanted to chime in quickly about the viscose: I use the hand-wash setting on my machine, hang to dry, then iron on the lowest setting. That's all

Inge--never shut up! Heavens, what would I do without you?
I love the Jones New York jacket--and the pants in different colours along with the fine knit vest has the wheels spinning.

Thank you Lucy!

Gryffin--I'll look up Sveta's NAS cardigan. What's a blardigan? (Or was that a typo?)

E--yes, I wanted to show my Mom, but she absolutely loves "costumes" and I was afraid what she might just take upon herself to sew up for me! A lot of it reminds me of Japanese clothing, of raggedy ann, and of what the downtrodden poor wear in movies set throughout the Victorian era. Interesting stuff, for sure--and what interesting origins for the whole wonderful assymetrical look that is now mainstream. I can see where harem pants came from, too.

Aida--I am glad you came to the party too! Washing instructions always welcome.

NB: My Mom referred to the printed tunic as "that snakeskin" today--and she didn't mean it as a good thing, lol! Guess I won't wear it to her house for supper.

No Alana - not a typo!! Welcome to one of my favorite purchases of 2014 the blankie cardigan....http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ba.....n=Predicti it's really soft, warm and flattering. I have a thread on this and there are several others. I think Goldenpig has this too. Just fyi!!

Gryffin--The styling hasn't done them any favours--they look like bathrobes! oh, duh, bathrobe plus cadigan = blardigan?

Yes, this style and length would be perfect--alas, not in my size. Thanks, though!
