Grown-up style: the tunic dress

— by Alyson Walsh

This mystery woman has been incredibly popular on my Pinterest board. I know nothing about her  – unknown person if you’re reading, please reveal your identity! – just that the picture comes from a Canadian website called Everything Zoomer. Why so popular? Mystery Woman looks healthy and happy and has great style. Her gorgeous grey hair and jolly demeanour tell me that she’s comfortable in her own skin. The swing-y tunic dress looks chic and simple and is livened up with a few carefully-chosen accessories. London has felt like a steam room over the last few days – I’ve been sweating like Obama behind the bulletproof screen in Berlin – so an outfit like this provides the perfect solution to the inevitable what to wear conundrum.

I’ve been doing a bit of research to try to find a similar frock – and though not identical, my favourites have a similar feel:
