What is tunic?

Dresses come in different cuts and styles and colors and designs. They come in different brands as well as quality. They come in different materials and texture. And they come in different names.

Ever since, our apparels have been named into particular cut or design. As time goes by and as fashion even develop, these names that once our ancestors used have been used to characterize or identify a particular clothing. Hence, the word tunic is one of these names together with the gown, empire, lace, etc. And so they are applied to different clothes we use be it for workwear uniforms or simply casual apparel.

Wikepedia states that:

"A tunic is any of several types of clothing for the body, of various lengths reaching from the shoulders to somewhere between the hips and the ankles. The name derives from the Latin tunica commonly worn by both men and women in Ancient Rome, which in turn is based on earlier Greek garments."
