What's a tunic?

Question

Are you supposed to wear them over long sleeved shirts? Can you?

Answer 1

It's basically a longer shirt. True tunics are garments worn in medieval days. You could wear them over long sleeved shirts if you want, but they're fine by themselves. Some people put a belt over them.

1.Chiefly British. a coat worn as part of a military or other uniform.
2.a gownlike outer garment, with or without sleeves and sometimes belted, worn by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
3.a woman's upper garment, either loose or close-fitting and extending over the skirt to the hips or below.
4.a garment with a short skirt, worn by women for sports.
5.Ecclesiastical. a tunicle.
6.Anatomy, Zoology. any covering or investing membrane or part, as of an organ.
7.Botany. an integument, as that covering a seed.







The answer I know them as is #3. They're loose fitting and long. The ones that I have don't have to be worn over a long sleeve shirt considering that some of them are long sleeve tunics, but you can.

Answer 3

It is a lond shirt-dress that goes over leggings. You can wear it with jeans, leggings, skirts, or whatever you like. But DO NOT wear long sleeve shirts under them! You can wear tank tops or camis underneath but not longer than the tunic itself. Try pearing an purple or grey tunic with a white or black cami under it! Then put on some black leggings and funky plastic jewerly. As for shoes, wear cute funky flats during school or at a casual event. For a more formal event, wear pumps or wedges with nicer, more expensive looking jewerly like gold or silver- types with the outfit! But don't let the outfit wear you! Have a sense of style, attitude, class, and confidence to you!
