I can endorse the Boden leggings too - I love them - well worth the extra bit of money - I tend to size down though as they fit quite big.

Glad I found this post. Have been after some more tunic style tops to wear with leggings this winter.

Great post - really helpful! I struggle with tunics as I am straight up and down so have to add shape somehow - a v neck or a belt . Control under garments a must after 3 kids too - shhhhhhhh! X

i love tunics and leggings/skinny jeans - large part of my wardrobe :)
ive never had a washboard tummy but its still pretty big and wobbly even though Jake is 18 months :( so tunics hide my wobbly bits :)
loving DP at the minute & they have a sale on now too :)

Thanks for the mention Avril! Highly recommend that tunic, it's so comfy! I might go back and get it in the black too :)

Tunics are hard to find when you're tall but I do have a couple and I just love them. Great selection (as always).

2012-09-26T22:44:41.024+01:00

Well, I do wear some of mine with boot-cuts and it works but only if the legs of the jeans are tight to the knee...don't do with baggy jeans...some part of it needs to be neat. And yes, you could try them with a wider belt...your LK Bennett one maybe? Avx

2012-09-26T22:41:23.261+01:00

Hi Evi, this time of year, ankle boots or long boots and if you're petite, try to keep the colour the same as the leggings to elongate the leg. Hope that helps! Avril x

Thanks Anne - I'll pop on a link to Laura's one...it's way nicer on her than on the website Av x

2012-09-26T22:39:36.654+01:00

Jill...the blog picks up on certain words and links them - it's to save me doing it while I blog but 9 times out of 10, the links are rubbish so I have to over-ride them. Sorry about that - didn't realise it did it to the comments too!! Thanks for letting Ali know about Boden ones - I had heard they are good quality so good to hear from some-one who has them. Avx

2012-09-26T22:37:23.485+01:00

Thanks Sharron, I saw that one on the H&M site but it didn't look as good as it does on Laura! Must go and add a link to Laura's post...thanks for the tip-off! Avx

2012-09-26T22:36:31.201+01:00

Yes Helen, you would be better going for a shorter tunic like the White Co. one to keep the proportions...but they are as flattering on petite girls, if the length is good and if you keep the leggings/jeans and shoes all the one colour to elongate the legs. Avx

2012-09-26T22:35:12.127+01:00

I have bought some dresses in my time which ended up like tunics because I'm much too tall for them. For me I tend not to wear them as they never sit quite right on me :)

2012-09-26T22:02:33.208+01:00

Great post as usual! I have tried a few tunics but always bring them back or don't wear them and eventually they go to Oxfam!
Maybe being hourglass I need that belt you mentioned Avril?!!
Cant manage leggings or skinny jeans either..... there might be a challenge in this for me to tackle!

I have no idea why my post now has a link to some stripy trousers on eBay. - I certainly didn't put it there!

2012-09-26T21:17:20.775+01:00

I've got a nice black&grey tunic and black leggings but I just don't know what kind of shoes would look good with it. any advice?

2012-09-26T20:17:31.226+01:00

Love the tunics,my favourite one is the dolly one a great buy for £16-00 :)

2012-09-26T20:01:33.195+01:00

Great post Avril! I love Tunics but with a tummy no magic knickers are fixing in any way and a bum bigger than any Kardashian they can be tricky. I find skimmers are great. Ones that are close to the bust and drape the hips. Need some knits though definitely!
Can't wait until the next By Request! xx

2012-09-26T19:44:22.342+01:00

Boden leggings are great - and I say that as someone who doesn't really do Boden! They are good thickness and length and hold their shape. Best I have found and I must have spent a fortune looking for the perfect legging over the years. Having said that I wouldn't wear them with anything that didn't cover my backside! They are £22 full price but always codes going around.

2012-09-26T19:36:04.947+01:00

I love The White company one also! I might have to steal a wear of Laura's H&M tunic jumper when she is at work!! Great post!
