For decades, tulle has been a staple of high fashion couture, and now trends like "ballet-core" are bringing it back into the streets. Here’s how you can rock tulle in your personal style, from special events to everyday wear.
Tulle in High Fashion
Designers have used tulle in a variety of ways, from layering it for texture and dimension to using it as a base for intricate embroidery. Considering tulle's lightweight and sheer nature, it is a versatile fabric for creating delicate, ethereal, or bold statement looks.
Designer Giambattista Valli has mastered the art of tulle, incorporating the fabric into many of his collections. He often embellishes his tulle gowns and dresses with intricate beading and embroidery, creating a dreamy and romantic look.
Rodarte and Dior, among others, have incorporated tulle into their collections in unique and unexpected ways. Whatever the outfit, tulle capes or voluminous skirts add a touch of whimsy and femininity.
Tulle in Street Style
As feminine trends like ballet-core and mermaid-core gain popularity, tulle has reemerged as a staple in modern street style. Try incorporating tulle into your everyday outfits by wearing an embellished top for a night out, or even a dress over jeans in the daytime. If you’re feeling bold, head-to-toe sheer is also a popular look for summer. Swap out your ballet flats for a pair of Doc Martens to add a punk edge.
