How to Wear Asymmetric Tops and Tunics With Leggings

Here’s why Asymmetric Tops are Great to Wear with Leggings

• Asymmetrical Tunic Tops Have an Artsy Vibe: Even the most conservative gals have days when we want to look more creative. An asymmetrical tunic top tunic worn over leggings is a subtle way to express the artsy side of your personality.

• Easy to Style: Whether your asymmetrical top is slanted across the front, side, or back, it makes a strong style statement. You don’t need to wear much else to look stylish, except for a pair of black leggings.

• Youthful: When slightly edgy, you look modern, which translates into youthful. Notice, I’m not saying young- none of us want to look like teenagers, but youthful (vibrant) is excellent. An asymmetrical top with leggings ( especially leather ) makes you look more youthful than jeans and a conservative button-up shirt.
• Slimming: Bonus! Asymmetrical tops with uneven hemlines draw the eye upward, creating a long, lean line that makes you look tall and slender. Plus, these tops flow, which helps camouflage any belly bulge beautifully. For gals who love to wear color, a color-blocked asymmetric tunic to help sculpt your figure.
• Asymmetrical Tunic Tops are Comfy: I’m a stickler for comfort, but I also want to look chic. An asymmetrical top with leggings is an outfit I can wear sitting at my computer when I go out to dinner or shopping—you name it. It feels good. It’s casual, classy, and comfortable.

You can even wear an asymmetrical top with a jacket if you want an even edgier vibe. Just keep the jacket within the same tonal range as the top so you don’t look like a colorful chopped-up puzzle.

Now, let’s look at  3 trending Asymmetrical tops and tunics and new ways to style them.

1. Futuristic Asymmetric Tunic

this is the most interesting and chic long tunics I have seen for a while, or maybe ever.  I love the dramatic design of this unique long taffeta top by DKNY. The L-shaped neckline and floaty peplum bottom are so modern. Something about this top makes it look very space-age to me. The Jetsons come to mind (Lol!)

2. Asymmetric Fringe Top

I’ve seen a lot of asymmetric tops and sweaters with fringe, especially with the Western trend riding high this year. This peach fringe asymmetric top is a pretty color, and the fringe is fun. The cowl neckline is very pretty, too.

This is great with leggings or slim jeans for more natural types who like a cowboy or boho look.

3. Color Block Asymmetric Top

This is different! It’s asymmetrical in the sense that a diagonal line runs through the top, dividing it into black and blue, but the hem is actually even. You get the illusion of an asymmetric hem.

I like the sporty feel of this Calvin Klein Asymmetrical tunic and the strong colors mixed so boldly. Can’t you just see this in the dead of winter? It’s a head-turner.

4. Turtleneck Asymmetric Tunic

Cute and cozy, a long turtleneck sweater with leggings always looks great. Make the hemline slanted, and you have a more artsy look. I’d push the sleeves up on this Turtleneck Asymmetric Tunic a bit to give it a fresh look.
