Kind of, but not quite. The 1960s tunics were more like regular dresses, only just barely too short to wear on their own. I've got a lot of old sewing patterns from that era for different tunic-and-trouser outfits. This is more like, well, an oversized tee-shirt.

I'm not really feeling the love for this trend, but then again, I'm not a huge tee-shirt fan, and think it looks kind of ridiculous when one tries to "dress up" a tee-shirt. Also, you'd have to be so particular about what sort of trousers to wear so as not to look bunchy through the waist and hips. You'd need to wear something with a faced waist and back-zip ideally, and unfortunately, the cotton tee-shirt fabric would still cling and ride up on the trouser fabric. You can't wear a slip with a tee-shirt!

yeah I agree, it actually reminds me of the early 70's when extra long (tightly fitted) t-shirts were worn with bellbottoms. think brady bunch.
but I'm with ayli, it's not so easy to wear...I do actually like the extra long tshirts (it's wonderful to find tops that are long enough for me), but I don't like the way they bunch up and get lumpy around the waistline of your trousers/jeans.

And I was kind of thinking early 1980s, with the whole one-shoulder, bunched on the hip Flashdance thing. Especially since so many designers have been revisiting the 1980s.

I have that Old Navy long layering tee and I really love it :-)

I'm short also (5'2") but I wear heels. I like it, 'cause it makes my torso look longer!

 

[Luna]

I've found that tunics and long t-shirts don't really work for short and stubby girls like me

 

[Dixie]

The Old Navy shirts posted are actually kind of cute.

 

[snowqueen]

these were big last year wear i live, when the whole 80's thing was big and some wear worn slightly of the shoulder

 

[MulletProof]

How is the quality adorevintage? I bought a couple tops from Old Navy and they didn't hold up like I thought they would. After a couple of washes (delicate cycle I might add) they looked a little ragged.

 

[PinkSunrise]

I love this trend and hope to see it more..Does anyone know any other stores that sell some good quality ones? (Nothing against Old Navy )

 

[Fox in the Snow]

American Apparel have some really nice ones

 

[Alejandro]

^ I have a few from AA, and they're great.

I really like this trend, I have some tees that I actually buy in a big size, and then adjust the waistline, so it's fitted, but long...As Lo said, under skinny jeans or tights it looks delish

I totally love this look

Man! I forgot about American Apparel. Thanks Fox!

 

[LolitaLuxe]

i like to layer them too.....i will wear a x tra long skinny tank under a small fitted t

 

[ATTITUDE]

Long Thees with a fantastic belt on it. It maybe so 80ies, but it really comes back. Just watch the SS 2005 of Dior. And what do you think about the XL I (L) NY shirts or the Elvis shirts you see a lot at the moment. Just wear them in a large size, but a belt on it. A jeans and some boots and don't forget that big (vintage) bag. Well, we just got another outfit.
