Where can I find long (at least knee length) tunics to wear with leggings?

I've been searching for ages and can't seem to find the right kind. I want to be able to wear them with leggings and boots but I really hate my legs so the least leg showing the better!

I've tried loads on but they all seem to end mid-thigh or just above and I just don't want that much leg showing, even with leggings on :(

I found a fab one last week in Sainsburys, fine knit and came down to just above my knee, but it made my bum look like a sack of puppies so I had to take it back...

Something like the kind in Joe Browns is what I'm after. Does anyone know what their sizing is like?

I'm 5'5 if that makes a difference. I'd appreciate any help!

I wear leggings with dresses and boots in the winter as I ruin tights within minutes of putting them on Blush

Surely there is no difference look wise between someone wearing a knee length dress, leggings and boots and someone wearing it with thick tights?

seasalt have some nice tunic type things, imo

I have a Uniqlo Orla tunic that fits the bill. Haven't had a look at current A/W range yet so I may be off the mark.

You would look better in a knee length dress and the fabulous "M&s velvet touch opaque tights."

I wear loads of dresses from White Company ( always with discount or in sale/outlet as pricey)

I also wear leggings and tunics, with ankle boots, I like Mint Velvet for tunics and their leggings ( the ruched ones) are great.

The dresses from Cos are just amazing

Aren't cos dresses shapeless?

Parmarella - ITA with you re Cos dresses. They seem shapeless to me. but then I also have curves. Not fat, just a size 12 with norks.

My tall, slim, SIL LOVES Cos dresses. me - can't see the hype.
