Re: All these tunic length and "boyfriend" shirts

I really like tunic length and bf shirts, hope they never stop making them. I am not short or plus size and find them flattering on taller, slimmer gals. I don't believe they wear them to hide anything.

Interestingly enough when I posted a thread regarding trends; likes and dislikes, the majority of respondents said they didn't like tunic length shirts!

 

I wonder when the industry will get the message?


 

       The industry is getting the message, women love tunic tops.  They are aeverywhere.  If tunic tops and bf shirts weren't selling extremely well, retailers wouldn't be selling so many of them.

Just because a few people on a thread here don't like tunics does not mean that the industry needs to stop making them.  I am sure there are millions of women who DO like them and the reason the fashion industry in making them is because they are also selling them.  Personally, I like most of them, depending on the fabric and style. 


@scotnovel

talk about extreme assumptions?! Who said anything about the industry canceling production? How about some options? Yes they're out there but these days the long length dominates and for the OP, I suspect, being plus sized makes it even more difficult since we're still operating on the assumption that covering it all up makes it disappear...

My point exaclty; ;they're everywhere' to the detriment of those of us that would like some options or I should say more options. It's slim pickings!

I think the message that the industry is getting is that people are buying the tops that they are producing.  If their sales slow, they will change what they produce.  A few people on a blog who don't like certain styles or item means very little.  My point is lots of people like and wear tunics no matter what their size.  As for options, good heavens, there are thousands of options for tops in all shapes, sizes, lengths, fabrics from hundreds if not thousands of retailers.

Re: All these tunic length and "boyfriend" shirts

Right now a fashion trend is leggings and tunics are to cover them.

 

As every trend does,  predectily, this will rotate out.  I don't see this becoming a classic and have a lot of study in that area.

Some of these tunic length tops (I am 5'3") are long enough to remind me of the mini skirts I wore in college!

Re: All these tunic length and "boyfriend" shirts

I think it all depends on the individual.    I am short, and have a "boyish" build........and the longer tops work very well for me.

Re: All these tunic length and "boyfriend" shirts

The tunic length tops are GREAT for women who are plus size and need to cover their large b**ts or big bellies.
