A subtle trend for Autumn/Winter 2011 is teaming tunics with trousers. Seen on the catwalks of Balenciaga, Alberta Ferretti and Richard Nicoll this style is uber minimal but makes a big fashion impact!
The simplicity is what makes this trend so incredibly chic and suits all body shapes - you can’t go wrong. For a slimming effect, wear darker colours on your bottom half and experiment with different colour combinations. Go bold and vibrant or more demure.
Tunics in heavy fabrics like suede and denim won’t crease during the day so it’s less worry for you. It also makes a perfect office look too making a lovely change from the usual work attire.
It’s a breath of fresh air to see a trend that all us women can wear!
