  They may look good on you standing still, but tunics have to be able to move with the body without curtailing movement.

 

Those that have a slit on the side can be a little longer for me, at least longer in the back.

 

But those that have no side slit interfere with sitting if they're too long. 

 

So the "right" length depends on the style of the tunic as much as the person's proportions.

I think the most flattering tunic length for most women is just below the backside. The more leg that shows, the longer the legs look.

Long enough to cover the backside.  Longer doesn't do me any favors.  😊

Any long top is a tunic on me...looks like a short dress..,overwhelms my short self unless it is upper thigh length and I am wearing jeggings.
