It’s time to pack up that warm weather wardrobe and make room for some fall fashion that’ll have you looking fabulous at the office.This stripe tunic will show off your sense of style and professionalism. Its neutral gray and black tones are respectable in any office setting. Thin stripes, much like a pinstripe suit, are regarded with high esteem by most professionals.

I find the cut of this particular tunic interesting because it blends the extremes of being fitted and loose. The upper bodice is fitted with Princess seaming, creating a more formal blouse. The angled empire waist on the front two panels allows the lower section to flow loosely, consequently hiding trouble spots such as the stomach and hips. On some body types, however, this look may be too blousy, and therefore unflattering.

Attention to small details on this tunic can’t be overlooked. For instance, the hidden button front placket allows the wearer the cut of a formal blouse with the look of a pullover top. Narrow cuffs provide a slight billowed sleeve effect. The slender collar finishes that professional look while keeping the outfit chic.

Maintaining your office attire is essential to keeping your professional image. This tunic is made of polyester crepe, so it is machine washable. Occasional low heat ironing might be necessary.
