Choosing your tunic – Great tips for finding the perfect tunic

13.05.2024

Tunics for women are popular garments, which is no wonder, as they are known to be quite versatile. Tunics are made in both long and short-sleeved styles, with long-sleeved ones serving throughout the year. Short-sleeved models, on the other hand, can be worn under long-sleeved shirts during cooler months.


A versatile tunic pairs nicely with jeans, leggings, and other pants, and a short-sleeved tunic with a sufficiently long hem can even be worn as is on hot summer days. Choosing the right tunic for your needs can sometimes be challenging. We now share some tips to help you make the right choice when selecting a tunic.

Useful tips for choosing a tunic


When looking for tunics for women, it's worth investing some time to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. First, consider the purpose of the tunic. If you're looking for a tunic for everyday or workwear, a basic or minimalist design may be the best choice. A tunic with pockets is also a practical choice for everyday wear and work. On the other hand, pockets also add style to the tunic, making them suitable for more formal occasions.


For festive occasions, such as summer parties, don't hesitate to choose a colorful and uniquely patterned tunic. The choice of pattern and color for the tunic depends, of course, on your own preferences and style of dress. When choosing a tunic, also pay attention to how the color or pattern of the tunic would best complement your existing pants, shoes, and accessories. Color choices can also take into account the seasons. Light shades are suitable for spring and summer, while dark shades are more suitable for autumn and winter.


The third aspect of choosing a tunic is the fabric, which affects both comfort and durability. The best choice is a tunic made from high-quality domestic fabric that breathes well and feels comfortable to wear. Naturalness and ethicality are also important selection criteria for many when choosing a tunic. By choosing a Paapii tunic, you ensure that the fabric used in the tunic is ethically and sustainably manufactured from start to finish thanks to the GOTS certification of the fabrics we use in our clothing.


The last criterion for choosing a tunic is the cut, which affects both the fit and the style. It is important to choose the tunic model that is most suitable for your body type. For example, an A-line tunic is well-suited for a rounder body shape, while a straight cut is better for a slimmer body type. Pockets also add their own touch to the design of the tunic, in addition to their practicality and beautiful appearance. A tunic with pockets is often both airy and elegant in design.


A couple of examples of Paapii's beautiful tunics


Paapii offers a range of tunics made in Finland, making a responsible choice by purchasing them. From Paapii, you'll find beautiful tunics for women from a variety of colors and patterns. Our Heija tunic is a great example of tunics suitable for everyday wear. Heija is a long-sleeved, well-fitting top with a looser bottom, longer at the back than the front. Polku, suitable for both everyday and festive occasions, is wide at the hem with fun round pockets.


Sumu is one of Paapii's first tunic models that has received several updates over the years, ultimately evolving into its current form. Sumu, with a slightly shorter sleeve length, has a minimalist silhouette and an A-line design. Another example of Paapii's A-line tunics is the Kannel tunic with pockets and a slightly smaller neckline.


Whichever tunic model you choose, women's tunics are true saviors of everyday wear, as they are suitable for numerous occasions. Beautifully patterned and appearing in delightful colors, tunics for women can be conveniently purchased from Paapii's online store. At the same time, order our single-color Sorja leggings in various color shades to complement your new tunic beautifully.
