Scarves go great with tunics, particularly in crisp autumn weather. This look is quintessentially cozy and simply begs for a cup of hot cider and a stroll through the pumpkin patch. Get creative and try a variety of scarves like shawl scarves, infinity scarves, and square scarves as you customize your look.

Tunic Tops with a Necklace

 A necklace adds instant flair to the otherwise unadorned neckline of a basic tunic. If you're wearing a solid-colored tunic, don't be afraid to go big and bold with your necklace. Wide pieces will dress up your tunic in an instant. Long chains of beads are another eye-catching option that will add boho flavor to your tunic of choice.

Top off your tunic beautifully with a jaunty hat. Hats give great impact with little effort and offer the added bonus of helping to mask bad hair days. A knitted cap is great for winter, while bucket hats are expected to trend heavily for the spring and summer months.

Tunic Tops with a Belt

One of the few drawbacks of the tunic as a staple of women's clothing is that it can look a bit shapeless. Fortunately, there's a simple answer that instantly adds style to your outfit. Belting your tunic will accentuate your shape and give the tunic a more fitted feel. Don't be afraid to go big here and choose a bold belt that really catches the eye and enhances your overall outfit.

 Tunic Tops with Shorts

For summer wear, shorts are an ideal option with a sleeveless tunic top. The tunic's added length makes it easier to confidently rock a brave choice like bright white shorts or fitted bike shorts, giving you some extra coverage around the midsection. Longer shorts are the best pick for this style.

Patterned tunics help this type of top really pop. Go big with oversized prints that really make good use of the length a tunic provides. Vertical patterns, like this floral print tunic from Message Factory, are especially striking, as they elongate your figure and make you look taller.
