The Tunic: a classic blouse for modern women.

Tunics were the ultimate garment in the Middle Ages and Antiquity. Since the 20th century, the tunic has come back into fashion but is now interpreted differently than hundreds of years ago. Today, a tunic refers to a long, loosely falling blouse. Similar to a shirt but shorter than a mini-dress, it's designed to be worn with pants. The loose, flowing cuts especially flatter feminine curves, delicately accentuating the beautiful silhouette of any lady. Many women opt for leggings in subtle shades when pairing them with tunic dresses to highlight the prints on the softly falling fabric. Alternatively, with a solid-colored tunic, light, colorful pants or leggings create splashes of color and emphasize the leg shape.

Ultimately, what you wear underneath is your choice. Some women skillfully combine the tunic with a long skirt instead of pants, enhancing the flowing effect with multiple layers of fabric. This looks particularly cohesive when the colors are similar. For instance, the harmonious combination of water blue with sky blue becomes an absolute eye-catcher.

Tunics: elegant eveningwear or practical blouses.

Tunics are suitable for entirely different occasions. Choose a glamorous print with silver or gold accents for evenings or an urban tie-dye look for a shopping spree with friends. Bold, fresh, and lively are two-tone patterns that create more or less strong contrasts and button plackets. Geometric, repeating patterns are classic, fashionably elegant, and exude an exclusive ethnic style, bringing holiday vibes into your everyday life. Floral prints exude a more springtime lightness or romanticism, depending on color and motif selection.

If your daily life is hectic and vibrant, and you like to stay active at garden parties or summer gatherings, this comfortable and stylish garment shines with its advantages: it's airy and with its lightness, complements the casual atmosphere. The loose fit of the tunic allows for easy movement. The beauty of it: the fabric moves with you, always providing airflow to the skin. When wearing the tunic as a shirt, pairing it with casual jeans is a great choice. The blouse isn't only suitable for occasions like garden parties, dinners, or casual leisure activities – for every occasion, you can find the suitable blouse that meets your needs online at MADELEINE.

A successful office appearance with the long-sleeve tunic.

Like a blouse, a tunic is an ideal top for the office. Due to its length, it looks appropriately closed yet relaxed. It combines a casual feel with outward elegance – a unique combination. When aiming to exhibit a reserved style in your profession, a tunic with long sleeves is excellent. The smoothly flowing tops appear serious yet feminine. Clever sleeve finishes like gathers, hems, or cuffs complete the successful overall impression.

Even while getting down to work and rolling up your sleeves, you'll still look good: the finish bulges, making the arm appear slender. Softly cut and flowing materials that shimmer gently underscore the wearer's sense of fashion and attract attention. Despite shaping the silhouette, the usually loose cuts are very comfortable.

Feel comfortable all around in the short-sleeve version.

Whether long or short sleeves, the tunic blouse is one of the most comfortable garments and looks elegant and fashionable. As wide and airy as the tops are, their fine structure and graceful drape make the silhouette appear slimmer and yet feminine. Petite women benefit from the blouse's fabric flowing softly around the body, creating a fuller appearance in the right places. Fuller-bodied women are pleased that the patterns divert the viewer's eye from minor problem areas and accentuate the advantages of the feminine figure.

Short sleeves offer even more freedom of movement and are suitable for warm days or indoor settings. It's best to wear the tunic as a blouse, without anything on top: it's already the perfect completion and highlight of any outfit and doesn't require an additional bolero.

Sleeveless tunics for more freedom of movement.

The sleeveless variants of the tunic are also comfortable to wear. Thanks to the loose, free cut, it's effortless to feel light and carefree in these models. Particularly in a jersey tunic, a linen tunic, or an elegant silk blouse, your skin breathes while you always maintain a good appearance – without compromising on style. As fresh as the feeling of wearing them, sleeveless tunics leave a fresh impression in terms of fashion.

If the temperatures drop, it's best to layer a long-sleeved shirt under the sleeveless blouse. Don't hesitate to play with colors and contrasts. For instance, black sleeves pair well with the dark, sensually gliding fabric around your hips. This accentuates the tunic. To enhance a subtle model, consider opting for rich, bold tones after work. Try to keep the sleeve color darker than the tunic color to avoid making your arms look heavier than they are.
