My secret love

The Tunic

A deceptively versatile piece of clothing, that has the option to take you from day to night and from super luxe to super casual.  Not to mention with the simple addition of a belt you can play with the proportion and drape changing it again to a completely different look.

The longer length is flattering and can help disguise the areas that the majority of women would like to pretend they don't have. Tunics tend to be comfortable and as they are slightly more voluminous, cool in the hopefully soon to be warmer weather.

However as with all things there are potential pitfalls that will make the look difficult to wear.  The trick and goal is to not add bulk to your frame, by choosing softer fabrics that move with you this can be avoided.  Don't be afraid to use accessories to change the point of interest and draw attention to specific parts of the line of the outfit.  For example a long pendent will bring the attention to the centre of your body, naturally creating a slimmer illusion.
