Tunic tops for leggings

A good tunic is long enough to cover your seat, easy through the body and smooth enough to look finished over slim trousers, dark jeans or a legging. These are the JudyP tunics that do that, shown only in the colors and sizes we have on the shelf today. Each one is made in the USA in our microfiber and spandex knit, so it comes out of the wash and the suitcase without a wrinkle. If you want the styling guide first, read how to wear tunic tops with leggings.

How to wear a tunic with leggings, in three rules

01
Cover the seat
The hem should land between the bottom of your seat and mid-thigh. Shorter reads as a top; longer starts to read as a dress.
02
Slim below, easy above
Keep the bottom slim, whether ankle trousers, straight jeans, ponte pants or leggings, so the tunic can skim, not cling. A little room through the waist and hip keeps the line long and relaxed.
03
Finish it
A pointed flat or loafer, a long necklace or a light jacket turns the same outfit from weekend into lunch, office or travel day.

Tunic questions, answered

What kind of tunic top looks best with leggings?

One that is long enough to cover your seat, with a little ease through the body and a clean neckline. A tunic that skims rather than clings balances a slim trouser or legging. The Sandra V-neck tunic is cut for exactly this.

How long should a tunic be to wear with leggings?

Aim for a hem that sits between the bottom of your seat and mid-thigh. Side slits, like the ones on the Sandra, let a longer tunic move when you walk and sit without riding up.

Are tunics and leggings still in style?

The tunic is; the look has changed. Today it is worn over slim ankle trousers, dark straight jeans or pull-on ponte pants more often than leggings, in a solid color and a smooth knit, with a loafer or a clean leather sneaker. If you love leggings, choose a thick, opaque pair and a tunic that covers the seat.

What are dressy tunic tops to wear with leggings?

Choose a solid tunic with a defined neckline, such as a V-neck, a keyhole or a boatneck, in black, navy or a rich color like red. Add a long necklace or a jacket and a dressier shoe, and it works for dinner or the office.

Do black tunic tops work for women over 50?

Very well. A black tunic over black trousers or leggings makes one long, unbroken line that is slimming and easy to dress up. If black feels harsh near your face, try navy, which does the same job more softly.

What are JudyP tunics made of?

Our tunics are made in the USA in a microfiber and spandex knit that does not wrinkle, holds its shape and goes in the washing machine. Sizes run XS to XL.
