The Tunic, revisited Part of old fashion lore is the tale of the tunic. Back in the 1960's when pants were not generally accepted, a woman entering a fashionable restaurant one evening was told she couldn't wear pants. She went to the ladies room, slipped out of her pants and was permitted to come in wearing her tunic top. Minis si, trousers, no. Well, the tunic is back. It's long and lean, covers the hips. But now it is pulled over skinny pants. (See lead story). Or it's worn with a long, skinny skirt. It can also be accompanied by a skinny jacket. If you want to, of course, you could wear a mini, but the long pants are newer. Sic transit gloria fashion. Mail your comments/questions to Bernadine
