Sick of tunic tops

delicate — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 02:37:23 GMT

I don't know about anyone else but I am so sick of all the long tunic tops. I have a few that actually could wear as a dress. Problem is I'm a senior and I don't wear such short dresses. Why are they so long. When they first came out I liked the fact that they covered my butt. But now they are ridiculously too long. All the designers are making them that way too. Please make some normal size tops and not too thin, because they show every lump and bump.

I am 5'4" and many tunics seem to swallow me. I think the tunic popularity came along around the time leggings started being worn as pants. Tunics cover your lady parts, also cover your butt and stomach. QVC sells lots of tunic length oversize t-shirts that can also be worn as a nightshirt. Great selling point "You never have to get dressed again, just get comfortable and wear this tunic 24 hours a day."

I love tunic length! You should try buying tunics in petite (i.e. like from Talbots) if you need a shorter length.

I buy D&Co tops because they have so many in 27 and 28-inch lengths, which is perfect for most everything I wear but leggings. I have trouble with their tunics—either they are roomy enough to be maternity tops or they fit in the shoulders but cling to the stomach & bottom. I’m not crazy about thin jersey fabric in a tunic, so that cuts out several of their brands. When the tunic tops do not flatter the models unless they wear shape wear, and even then they can look very unattractive, I’m not even tempted.

For many people 27" is still too long. Those who favor 21" to 25" in length at the max usually are short waisted but not always and who have slender hips. There is about a 2-1/2" difference in length between a petite tunic and a missy tunic whether it's at talbots or at qvc and it's still a tunic that's too long for many petites.

💜 tunics. The Q has tons of tops that aren't tunics. Haven't seen any though with a 21 length.

There are all kinds of tops offered on QVC and elsewhere. A tunic is supposed to be longer than a normal top. So if you don't want the length, then a shirt would be your option.

I completely agree about being sick of tunic tops. I'm also sick and tired of cold shoulder everything.

I have many tunic tops that are just too long for me (5'4") so I tie a corner up and I really like that look! I can then wear a tunic that I like the material, sleeve, neckline, etc. I get so many complements on them.

@makena Right and we know this. Would love to be able to wear some of logo's pretty print tops but they are too long.

I agree with OP. I'm 5'1" and tunics look horrible on me. I'm 64 and would appreciate some nice tops with real short sleeves.....no cap sleeves, no sleeveless, no dolman, no elbow. Just plain old short sleeves.

I am 69, 5 ft 1 inch, and I love tunics because I love leggings. I also am a big Logo fan and layer my tunics with cardis and tanks. But I also love jeans and I tuck in my tops with jackets, cardis, etc. Love variety.

I also forgot to mention that Lori Goldstein' s tunics are ridiculously priced and dumpy loolkion everyone. They are also very thin, that's why they try to sell you more layers .I don't know why people buy them. Every time I see one of her show come on I change the channel. Just my opinion.

I like longer tops, as long as though they don't look like a dress.I have to buy tshirt in the mens department, because they are longer.

On the flip side of that, as someone that's 6ft tall, I appreciate the longer tops! Don't like short ones. They ride up and there's a gap between your pants and the bottom of the top when you sit down or bend over. Very uncomfortable and annoying to have to keep pulling it down. I see more items that are shorter than longer on QVC.

I love tunics - hope they never go away. I buy petites though. Chicos, J Jill, Talbots have a lot of them.

Actually - I believe its the reverse. They are meant to be layered which is why they are thinner than normal. Do you remember when Gap came out with tee shirts to be layered. They were much thinner than the norm. Also - I know this has been said before.. but I am a 69 year old Logo devotee and I get compliments almost everytime I wear them. Guess people think dumpy is attractive?
