Any little girl hitting the beach for a day of fun in the sun wants to be comfy, look cute, and be able to easily transition from water to land as she pleases. The best way to accommodate all her needs? An easy, breezy, one-piece tunic to wear with her swimsuit. We've found 13 of our faves, most of which are so chic that we'd be happy to wear them ourselves!
When you're shopping, the real test of a piece's value is how versatile it is. Can you wear it to work, on the weekend, on a date, on a trip? If you can, most likely you've got a wardrobe winner. Case in point: this Quiksilver printed tunic is pretty, with a springy print and sheer texture. It's perfect for the beach and throwing on over your bikini. But it can also be worn every single day of the week, for pretty much every occasion. Want to see? We style one piece, seven ways. Click to shop.
I was thinking Fashion Week wardrobe and had an epiphany; I saw Molly Sims in her silky exotic print caftan, standing beside Anya Hindmarch (hi Anya!), and thought just because it's freezing in NYC doesn't mean I can't bring the Luxotica. It's a pity colorful wintry caftans and tunics are reserved for warm weather. Why not throw one over cozy tights and fresh boots? They're great for layering too since they're lightweight. Like three outfits just flashed before my eyes. Color me inspired!

Our wee one won't need a passport with these Indian inspired threads. The cotton, handstiched unisex tunics and batik shirts keep kids cool during warm weather and add a bit of spice to their wardrobes (especially for lil boys).
Myo is looking her usual fabulous self in a casual and chic ensemble for a birthday dinner with the family. Her cute wedges and cinched belt have an uptown Grecian appeal and the relaxed tunic is lovely.
Here's what she has on:
Congrats to Myo!

Myo went out on the town last weekend in the perfect combination of slouchy and body-con. I love how effortlessly chic the tunic, denim, and boots make her look.

Hot off the Spring runway comes this Miu Miu Lady Harlequin Bubble Tunic ($1,790). Kirsten Dunst made similarly cartooned tops look Fab in the Miu Miu Spring ad campaign, but do you think the same goes for this one?

I literally did a double take when I came across this Brette Sandler Sandy Keyhole Tunic, $242. WTF?! I know Summer is wrapping up but I just had to show you this. The huge cutout hole is meant to show off your swimsuit but what it really does is make you look like you have a big, awkward hole in the middle of your body. It is utterly unflattering and inappropriate if you ask me. I'd prefer it if it was a regular tunic...do you agree?

A gal can never have enough blouses in her wardrobe. Why? People rarely remember what you wore on the bottom, but they do remember what you had on top! Maybe because it's closer to your face? Anywho...
With that in mind, it is imperative that you add this 70s Tent Babydoll Tunic, Bust 36"-40", to your collection. It's ultra Summer boho and would look great with a pair of cutoff shorts. You can even slip a skinny belt around your waist to create shape. Now if only the oversized sunglasses and choppy bangs were included!
The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends on Monday, August 13. Good luck and happy bidding!
I'm about to tell you something very important...so pay attention! Etsy.com is a vintage wonderland. Totally untapped, you can spend hours and hours getting lost in its depths. Trust - it's happened to me.
During my latest expedition into Etsy, I came across this beautiful floral tunic, $72, which is from the 80s and best fits a size medium. It's shown as a mini dress, but I think I would wear it as a loose top - or with some charcoal grey tights come Fall. The rich colors and the embossed velvet make it a perfect pre-Fall steal. Oh! And how cute would it look with a beret? Love.
