You are never too old for tulle

28/02/2019
Tulle trend

I have just started watching Sex in the City from season 1. It’s the sort of programme I can have on in the background whilst doing other bits as I am only really interested in the clothes and in particular what Carrie wears! It’s actually been 20 years since she first wore that pink tulle skirt in the opening sequence, but even so modern-day tulle is still synonymous with SATC. If you remember, Carrie also closed the final series in a demure pistachio-green tulle skirt – totally reminiscent of the ones around right now.

Have you ever put on a tulle skirt or dress? If not, then I urge you to! I guarantee you will feel not only super feminine, but you’ll have to try hard to resist the urge to twist and sashay so that the fabric swishes around you. Such is the effect of tulle; you can understand why it is so loved by toddlers and young girls. Such feel-good factor should be accessible to any age – you are never to old for tulle! Did you see Rachel Weiz in frothy Gucci tulle at the Baftas? Or Helen Mirren (73 years old) in demure pink tulle at the Oscars on Sunday? Helen herself could not stop swishing that fabulous tulle frock on the red carpetTulle Skirt

I bought the blue tulle skirt I am wearing above from ASOS a couple of years ago… I’ve worn it many times and it will remain a permanent fixture in my wardrobe. It makes me happy, so Marie Kondo would approve!

Tulle can be as cool as it is pretty. The key is not to dress like you are going to the prom. The attitude should be less fairy-tale princess, more self-assured woman. Like sequin skirts, don’t be afraid to wear a tulle skirt by day. Just add a leather biker / camo print / battered denim jacket to achieve that high-low look. tulle trend Even though tulle was a key feature in many of this year’s collections – check out Viktor & Rolf SS19 ‘Fashion Statement’ collection (main image), and more recently Dior’s 2019 Cruise Collection (images above); the High St. has been slow to pick up on the tulle trend… but it will come! Thankfully, many smaller boutiques both local and online, have been savvy and jumped on the trend. My local favourite, Kitty Rose, consistently sells-out of their black and leopard tulle skirts (below) and has just restocked (and they offer free postage!)Tulle trend

Here’s some shopping inspo and outfit ideas on how to style and tulle skirt:

Practical & Stylish - I am absolutely delighted wi Practical & Stylish - I am absolutely delighted with this waterproof coat from @protectedspecies AD/PR Product

This is the Waterproof Winter Parker which has a cosy fleece lining in addition to the incredible performance fabric provided by this brand. I have already tested it several times in lashing, coastal rain and it is 100% waterproof & guaranteed for 2 years.

A generous hat is tucked away inside the cosy neckline & it has lots of stylish details - adjustable waist & cuffs, slim-stretch fit. It’s lightweight but warm, although I  would size up if you wish to wear a thick jumper underneath.

Right, I’m off to walk the dog in the rain - he’ll go out in any weather!!! ☔️❄️

If you’ve seen my Stories you’ll know that we have a new addition to the family and I’ve been in a  puppy bubble... 

3am alarm calls, constant supervision &  endless floor mopping have been made all the worthwhile by lots of cuddles & playfulness 💖 Wilbur couldn’t have come at a better time...

I have barely got out of my PJs this week, let alone put a frock on - anything hanging loose is too much temptation for tiny sharp teeth!!! But I’m with you all in the spirit of #thankfrockitsfriday & I’ll share my favourites on Stories tomorrow 👗🌟

For the past 5 years there’s been 27 of us for NY at @hallfarmcottagesnorfolk so a party for 4 was very different... but we made the most of it with parlour games, a quiz, old-skool tunes and dance-offs!!! 

I adore these swishy trousers from @coastfashion they currently have a whopping 80% off, and this wide-leg style is tipped to be a key trend for 2021 😉 Linked on Stories (AD/PR Product)
