When it comes to keeping glamorous and still warm this winter, the most simple and elegant way to do this is by teaming ,tunics and trousers. This relaxed combination all allows us the layering that is a necessity this time of year and also the cover up of all our sins.
With the versatility to wear to work or a night on the town this trend has taken that catwalk by storm. Designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Balenciaga and Osman are teaming tunics and trousers to answer the needs of the practical yet stylish woman. The use of panels and block colours create depth and interest without making the look too overbearing.
New Look: Colour Block Belt Tunic and Debenhams: Butterfly by Matthew Williamson: Black Chino Trousers
This simple Colour Block Belt Tunic from New Look is only £24.99 and uses panels of blue to make it stand out from the crowd. The sixties are still in full swing in the fashion industry this season and teaming this tunic with a simple pair of black trousers will have you rocking both trends easily. We’ve opted for these Black Chino Trousers by Matthew Williamson from the Butterfly Collection at Debenhams. Adding a pair of jewel toned heels for a night out will make you bang on trend. If you feel that there is too much black for you then try a different colour. Chinos this season have embraced the colour and most shops have many colour variations to choose from.
Marks and Spencer: ¾ Sleeve Graphic Print Woven Tunic and Select: Leather Look Skinny Leg Trousers
This Sleeve Graphic Print Woven Tunic from Marks and Spencer comes in at a very reasonable £19.50 and the colours and print allow for a striking image with a simple silhouette, which is what this trend embodies. With this tunic a leather look trouser would make the look a little different. The fetish trend of this season embraces leather and these Select: Leather Look Skinny Leg Trousers give a nod to the trend and at only £22.00, this combination is definitely a bargain. Dress down the look with a chunky knit scarf and a cardigan for daywear and dress it up with heels and a blazer for night time.
Dorothy Perkins: Purple Button Shoulder Tunic and John Lewis: Kew. 159 Smooth Cotton Slim Leg Trousers
This Purple Button Shoulder Tunic from Dorothy Perkins (£28.00) would be great for the office. It lengthens your figure and creates a seamless silhouette. Wear it with black trousers for a sophisticated classy look. However mix it up and try alternative shades on you lower half like these, John Lewis: Kew. 159 Smooth Cotton Slim Leg Trousers in Biscuit (£79.00). Teamed with the tunic it has the same sophistication but makes a change from black.
When wearing this trend it is too easy to team any trousers with any tunic. However, wearing a wide leg trouser under a tunic will make you look a lot bigger than you are. Slim down your silhouette by wearing a fitted leg trousers or even skinny jeans. I know we are all worried about the dreaded muffin top but that is the magical effect of the tunic. The tunic will cover up any bits you are self conscious about and create a simple elegant figure.
