Do you like Tunics?
I get email notifications from Zulily about various clothing sales.
If anyone is interested in Tunics, THIS LINK will get you to
several choices, some of which would work great on a guy

Re: Do you like Tunics?
A good pal of mine in Providence wears tunics a lot of the time. He's expressed interest in skirts in the past, but can't seem to get over the hump.
Of course watching me be a prat today and not only stepping on the hem of my aquamarine summer-skirt, darn near pulling it off my carcass in the process, and then bouncing off a VAX when I nearly fell over from tripping on the hem probably did not help. No skirts, computers, or humans were harmed in the process -- only modesty and decorum.
Of the images in the linked page above, a couple looked compelling -- and I might have considered buying one of them had the site not demanded an e-mail address (which would have resulted in junk-mail) or a login. Fail. Likely they lost a sale. The bell-sleeved lace one looked pretty good if it had a lining (and since the pop-up blocked the image I could not tell).

This might work for you, too. When the site 1st came up for me, I had the samecrfriend wrote:A good pal of mine in Providence wears tunics a lot of the time.

pop-up. I clicked where I thought the close window button would be but nothing
happened. I clicked on the main screen, next to the vertical scroll bar, on the
right side of my screen. The pop-up went away.

Re: Do you like Tunics?
Those tunics are nice, I find it hard to get one that is long enough.
For the pop-up, I run my own email server (like Hillary) and I can put in a temporary address to see how much spam I get in the next month or so. Then delete the address.

Re: Do you like Tunics?
I put in a bogus e-mail address (and password) just so I could get a look at the imagery and sizes, and quite like lots of the designs. The question for me is mainly whether I could find something that'd fit my shoulders and be long enough in the sleeves.jazbell wrote:Those tunics are nice, I find it hard to get one that is long enough.
Hah! I should try that here. I suspect that the ISP we've got blocks outbound port 25 (wisely) but don't know if they block it inbound. I'll have to try some experiments. I'll need to find a round tuit, however, and those seem to be rarer than hens' teeth at the moment.For the pop-up, I run my own email server (like Hillary) and I can put in a temporary address to see how much spam I get in the next month or so.

Re: Do you like Tunics?
I also used a bogus email, even found that the first bogus email I tried already existed!
Anyway, there were a few items that I found of interest there, but nothing my size. The fact is that skirts are easily adaptable from female to male, but tops not so much. If I had the patience or skill to sew, I'd try and duplicate some of the looks but tailor them to a male torso.
Of course, most had the same issues, in addition to size, that make me reject 99% of women's tops; they are either tailored to enhance the bust, which to me looks absolutely bizarre for a man to wear; or have spaghetti straps, again making no sense for a man's body; or they are designed more "frilly" than my stomach can tolerate; or are in bright floral fabrics not to my personal taste.
But some styles in that catalog, if they fit, would be of interest to me. I wish I could duplicate them to fit my body type and size. It is definitely food for thought, and something that I had not much considered. Thanks for sharing that, Al.

Definitely like the styles. However, what size would best accommodate a mans broad shoulders Large or Plus?

Re: Do you like Tunics?
Could be an interesting style to wear over leggings, stretch pants or a maxi skirt. Some are long enough to be dresses.
