Whether we’re talking about climate change and economic climates or general news headlines, these days everyone is thinking on a global scale. Fashion trends are no exception. Some of the most cutting edge pieces are being designed with global influences in mind. Wearing this bead embellished tunic could be a great way to employ this trend in your wardrobe.

By using a pattern akin to one you might find on a traditional Indian sari, this piece takes simple elegance to a whole new level. The green and brown large medallion graphic print and border contrast wonderfully by standing out against the black polyester tunic. As the v-cut neckline and empire waist serve to create a distinct waistline, the length of this 36 inch design covers the hips and bottom area.

While I can appreciate the use of global inspiration, the short kimono sleeves don’t tickle my fancy. For that reason, I would suggest that women who prefer to keep their arms covered try it on before buying. This top may also be challenging for women who carry all their weight in the middle, as the empire waist and graphic design draw focus towards the center of the body. Available in size 14 – 28, the machine washable tunic is long enough to be paired with black leggings or skinny jeans, and a great piece to wear from the office to a causal evening out.
