The Free People Ottoman Tunic

How To Style It & Why You Should Buy It

Tunic // Skinny Jeans // White Sneakers // Sunglasses

When CNN reached out and asked if I would contribute to article about the Free People Ottoman Tunic my answer was of cousre yes! This solidified its popularity in my mind but also made me realize that I needed to devote a full blog post to it. I wouldn’t say that I ever tell anyone on this blog that they NEED to buy anything. Experiences yes but items no. However, this is one of the pieces that if you asked me should I buy this? My answer would be yes and to be honest, the entire Chic Series community also agrees. For the past three years this tunic has been a top seller on the blog year over year.

5 Reasons Why You Should Invest In The Tunic Sweater

Versatility. It can be worn dressed up or dressed down. If you don’t believe me just scroll down to see.
- Pair it with high waisted leggings to wear to and from a workout.
- Pair with skinny jeans and sneakers for a polished casual look.
- Pair it with faux leather leggings and over the knee boots for a more elevated look.
Comfort. I’m not a fan of itchy sweaters or things that are too tight or make me too hot.
- I’m a mom. I’m constantly moving and always sweating. Fabric choices are important to me.
- The material on this sweater allows for breathability and also for a little bit of stretch.
Durability. No need to dry clean and it can be washed and won’t wear.
- Maybe this goes back to me being a mom but I have had the black color for almost three years and it looks good as new!
- PS – the black is perfect for a last-minute Halloween costume, just pair with leggings and cat ears!
Flattering. Fits & Flatters Most.
- When I first discovered this style I thought it wouldn’t be flattering as it reminded me of a shapeless sack but it hides flaws and any winter weight you acquire during the holiday season.
- Styling tip – balance out the volume on top with skinner on the bottom by wearing it with leggings or skinny jeans.
Athleisure Must-Have. Athleisure, literally allows you to look good and feel good.
- My only rule for myself with this trend is that when wearing leggings unless, at the gym, I need to cover my booty. I just feel naked at my daughter’s preschool pick up with my buns on full display when wearing shorter tops and leggings.
- This tunic allows me to confidently embrace the leggings trend without feeling insecure or exposed.
