My mum wants a tunic top for Christmas. Help!

[TheNextMrsDepp]

My mum is a very young 65 and a trim size 10. She has recently been to see a personal shopper, and has discovered the joys of jeggings/skinnies and long tops, worn with long boots.

So she has asked me to buy her a nice long bum-covering top/tunic for Christmas.

But I can't find anything in the shops!

She won't like anything too flouncy, hippyish or young-looking, it could be knitted, or jersey; I'll know it when I see it, but so far I haven't spotted anything remotely suitable!

Any ideas, oh stylish ladies?

No-one?

Have you looked at the White Company or Hush?

[littledawley]

Was also going to suggest White Company. Have you looked at Boden?

My mum's 60 and we took her to a personal shopper for her 60th. She wears legiings/jeggings and long tops all the time. She's got some from next, dp, wallis, debenhams...?

Try Very.co.uk

I'll have a look...

Thanks for the ideas!

The Hush ones are lovely, but not really her (tempted myself, though).

The ones I like from White Company are sold out.

I had a look in Wallis, not bad, but I'm not sure about the handkerchief hem. And she doesn't like purple! Or wrap-style tops!

I think she'd go for something a little more colourful.

You see my problem.......

Keep 'em coming!

looks good on and and this

I realise they might be longer than you are looking for but both are a really good shape.

Monsoon does a good selection of everyday or dressy tunic tops.

Thanks - there are some nice ones from Monsoon, particularly the jumper dress type. I must go and have a look in store.

Isn't the presentation on their website dreadful, though? The clothes hardly look their best on a size 6 plastic mannequin with bandy legs. They really ought to find a proper model.

Last night I ordered a few things from M&S which might suit. Fingers crossed.
