It has to be the right tulle skirt.
But if it’ s right it can be very, very right.
A tulle skirt was once my most favourite piece in the wardrobe – a white one worn with a black tee and a black style accessorised with white. The fullness of the skirt never worried me and the waist could be cinched in until it felt about right. I could even wear it a little under the waistline as slender let’s that happen.
These days and I have no complaints, happy to be, but the slender has been replaced by a few years of living. Cut, the shape and just about every little detail of a skirt made in tulle must be right. The fullness can’t be too and the waistband needs to provide the definition I am lacking. I still like wearing one on the weekends but in a more casual fashion and a tulle skirt is no longer one for a big investment.
Which doesn’t mean we can’t wear one and wear it well. Now I style mine with a classic shirt or a plain tee – no bells, no whistles. Sneakers and if needs be a field jacket over the top.
This one is about right and the best part it is navy blue. Navy blue and navy blue, navy blue and white or navy blue and khaki – all these possibilities are a great place to play.
The Goldilocks of tulle skirts? Yes this one is a win/win xv
