will we EVER rid the concept of a TUNIC from S&B?

[Amblin]

no its none of my business
no there is still world poverty to worry about

etcetc

BUT STOP WITH TH TUNICS FFS

Blue brown check looks like she just buried her husband in the bracken

Lol @ ombre

Loden purple multi is being terribly brave about that hat

I think Tan Duck egg may be laughing at Loden's hat......there'll be some blood shed over that.

Heather Green is planning to cook her agent in the aga.......

here she is again in a better hat , she is gritting her teeth and thinking about killing her agent

See I think you have to be winsome and skinny to get away with tweed. And if you're winsome and skinny then the fashion world is your oyster anyway.

I don't think S and B has to be about correcting your figure though. It can just be about wearing nice stuff.

Winsome and skinny with an evil glint.

I think Clarissa Dickson wright is magnificent in tweeds. She is not winsome

Do you know what I love atm? Curvy girls wearing patterned leggings with cropped leather jackets. It looks fab.

fabulous

Winsome and skinny with an evil glint = that's me, that is

Yeah but she's a big racist.

Is she? Still she rocks the huntin' shootin' fishn' look

Nah, Clarissa wants to get herself an accommodating tunic and a well fitting pair of leggings. At least they don't gape .

I am unconvinved being skinny is the answer. I am a size 8, and would look like a mobile sack of potatoes in skinny jeans with a short wide jumper. I bought skinny jeans after seeing the raves about them on MN; the only good thing about them was that I played on the floor loads with the kids in a desperate attempt to make the knees wear early so I could chuck them. Never again.

Clarissa would piss on a tunic and then shoot a squirrel

if you can't quite do tweed - there's twill

Tunics are really maternity wear, non?
Christ, what a horrible thread ...totally get that some of this is tongue-in-cheek, but some of this is pure playground bitching. For every MNer that thinks 'fuck it I'll wear tunic/skinnies//cuban heels/bootcut or whatever anyway there's someone ready to sit on their shoulder screaming don't do it at the reflection in the mirror. I would love to get the age profile on this thread, because I'm willing to bet that a large number of the tunic haters haven't yet got to the age where no matter what they choose to put on in the morning they know that they will still be judged for their crows' feet , their lined necks, their greying hair, their general agedness. Personal taste and confidence is everything. As Hully said so eloquently, boy do we continue to promote the idea that appearance dictates content.

I would argue that the tunic and leggings are to blame here. Women need to get a grip on themselves and just wear shit they like not just stuff that is acceptable cos their entire peer group wear it. Everyone need to embrace their inner Clarissa.

Argh just realised I own something that calls itself a tunic. However I wear it as a slutty v short dress, so that ok.

Golly, Frieda Wool-Twill looks like she brooks no nonsense! Just the sort of assertively tailored woman who 'yields' to James Bond at the last minute.

BCBG this is S and B though, to discuss clothes we need to have opinions, non? It's valuable because it's truthful. You don't have to take it personally.

Whats the story with Clarissa's boobs? Cant find them in any of the photos, but in one of them it looks like her right boob is nudging a gentleman's tummy. He looks terrified "if I just stand still, it might go away..."

I darent laugh, I'm a G cup, and that might be me a few years down the line.

I have opinions, and I'm happy to have the opinions of others. And I'm not taking the comments personally. I may or may not wear tunics - I haven't said. But 'truth' is subjective. There is a difference between saying that - for example - tunics may flatter some and not others - and suggesting that all tunic wearers are irredeemably mumsy, which is a generalisation guaranteed to be taken to heart and even acted upon by some people. Personally speaking, I have more of an issue with the fabric or construction of poor quality clothes than I do with the style, but if I were to suggest that everyone who wears stuff from Primark looks like a chav I would be drummed off the thread. (I don't think that btw, (ducks barrage of )
