A breezy Free People tunic dress for a boho summer style.
This post contains affiliate links.
Free People always has several oversized, super voluminous tunics that double as dresses. I grab one or two a season and then wear them all season long because they’re lightweight and walk that casual-but-cute line quite well. Here I’ve brought a cute Free People tunic dress in a fun black and cream print out to play.
I wore it with an old pair (seriously, these guys have been around for ages) of mules. (Find similar versions here and here.) Because the tunic is quite breezy, any slight gust of wind is going to result in a Marilyn moment, so I layered a pair of Nike shorts underneath. A large link gold chain necklace from Etsy (under $20!) and dark, classic shades top off the look.
Shop the look:
This Free People tunic dress is super lightweight, making it a cool (literally) summer piece. The darker print means you can keep the undergarments on the lighter side, too– no need for a padded bra situation here. It’ll also match well with jean shorts or jeans, just give that hem a little front tuck.
Watch this space for the much-requested curly hair how-to! I shot it last week and am now in the process of piecing it all together. It will include direct links to the exact products I used to create my super bouncy, oh-so-90s curls!
Have a great week!

Thanks so much, Eva!
Smart choice to wear the shorts underneath, lol! I always have a hard time wearing oversized dresses or tunics but love how others can pull off the look.

I only needed the shorts for those wind gusts, haha- this tunic is on the longer side, for sure (especially in the back). The bike shorts were the perfect little addition to make sure things stayed covered! 🙂
Love the dress! Stylish match with the shoes too. And you hair looks gorgeous! Xx

This look is casual yet so chic, with a touch of edgy due to your leather mules.
Another stylish look!

These mules are such an easy (and comfy!) way to add some edge! Thanks, Omaye!
You look very beautiful dear. The tunics really have this versatility and lightness that allows the woman to wear them as a dress or even combine with some jeans and leaving the shoes to the imagination of each one, being able to combine everything with flat shoes or with beautiful high heels. Kisses, dear Ashley.
Yes! Totally agree- I love how versatile a tunic like this is! Thanks for swinging by, babe!
I love that you wore the bike shorts under this Ashley. That’s one of Lesley’s tricks, that I’ve stolen many times. So much better than always worrying about pushing it down.
XOXO

Yes! The length of the tunic is fine- unless a wind gust stirs up, haha! That’s where the bike shorts are perfect!
I love the shoes you paired with this! Such a fun vibe, girl! Also, this styling is getting me excited for fall 🙂

I have had these shoes for ages and they’re still one of my FAVE pairs! Thanks, babe!
That’s such a fun tunic and I love the length! So cute for summer!
Breezy summer pieces like this make outftting so easy! 🙂
So sweet and flirty you Boho BABE-A-TOLLA!! Love!
Thanks, sister! Happy hump day!
Those shorts are a great solution to dresses like this! I typically avoid them, but I love that idea! And that dress is super cute!
They were a more lightweight option than a denim short, for example, and really I only needed the coverage for wind gusts, haha!
This is such a fun little dress for summer! I love the print and the way it flows!
Cheers,
