With the weather turning so nice recently it really does put a spring into your step doesn’t it? So now is surely the time when realistically we can think about buying all the necessities for your new summer wardrobe before its too late. With that in mind, I find one of the most flexible items in that almost endless list and an invaluable summer wardrobe staple which comes up time and again are tunics, which are just great for the summer.

You can shed the cardi and the tights and be free again of all the those layers that you’ve been wrapped up in since last autumn, though you may have to shave your legs first of course. What’s better to encourage some colour from your skin than to treat it to some sun and fresh air and there’s no better way than to wear a tunic. Whether its as a casual summer dress or a smart top to go to a party or a special occasion, the tunic for the summer is bright an breezy and a statement of intent that says its summer and I’m determined to look the part!

We’ve taken a look at Bon Prix who have some of the cutest summer wear around at the moment and it isn’t badly price too, so whether you’re looking for a tunic for work, casual Saturday shopping outfit or an early purchase for your summer hols, we can’t recommend these highly enough.

We’ve put together a couple of suggestion to nudge you in the right direction and to get you in the mood, so why not take a look at these wonderful collection of Summer tunics.

This floral print tunic is a stunner, with it’s featured ring ruching at the bust, close fit it hangs quite low, so ideal with a pair of jeans or on its own as a summer dress.

Equally this wonderful summer tunic with sequins at the neckline and bat wing sleeves is just perfect for a warm summers evening when matched with a smart pair of high waist shorts and high heels if its a night out on the town.

In contrast this casual lace trim tunic is ideal for a lazy day or a shopping trip, try with a pair of comfy jeans a cardigan and an oversized shopper and you’re done.

Lace Trim Tunic

On a night out with a smart pair of designer jeans and killer heels would be a great look for this printed satin tunic with a bow and neckline studding, or dress down with flats and jeggings… simple.

The linen blend tunic is an all time classic and and ideal holiday dress, or as the image shows worn with white jeans or linen trousers. Top it off with a sparkly pair of flip flops.

Not quite a tunic, but all the same this Brightly Coloured piped Top just screams summer and with short bat wing sleeves with a smocked style its just such a lovely casual piece that you can wear anytime at home or on the beach.

For a little fun this red Floral print tunic would be great to be seen in with its cross hearted detailing and smocked style, simply wear with white jeans and mid height espadrilles and the Caribbean look is yours all summer long.

This lovely loose fitting embroided tunic is a Cotton tunic with a back tie and an embroidered neckline to contrast with the white cotton, but can be bought in dusky pink or black as required, but perfect for a lazy day, when you just want to make no effort but look fabulous.

I hope that this has given you a little inspiration to take advantage of the lovely weather we’re having, but act quick because you just don’t know how long it’ll last.
