A tulle skirt wouldn't suit neither my lifestyle nor my taste/personality. However, I do understand that some can be attracted by the playful vibes of a tulle skirt. :-)</p> <p>Have you considered wearing a tulle skirt under another skirt so that only a narrow, low part of the tulle skirt is visible? The colours of the two skirts could be matching, for a discreet and elegant look. Or the colours could be different and the colour of the tulle skirt be repeated in an item near your face (say a blouse, a scarf or a piece of jewellery). That is a fun, chic and interesting look I have seen on several others.</p> <p>The closest I get to wearing a tulle skirt is sporting a chiffon handkerchief skirt at informal parties. I wear it with a T-shirt in the same colour and dressy flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1804418 Tue, 02 May 2017 16:39:05 +0000 Joyce B 1804418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not wear it although it looks very nice in the ink color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1804413 Tue, 02 May 2017 16:30:32 +0000 Jeanie 1804413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I would wear it. &nbsp;I have seen so many that I have wanted. &nbsp;I think I am waiting for the right occasion but if the occasion doesn't happen I will probably buy one and wear around the house with a t-shirt...just because! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1804383 Tue, 02 May 2017 15:01:10 +0000 Anonymous 1804383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally would if I found the right one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1804307 Tue, 02 May 2017 11:14:03 +0000 lyn67 1804307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes.If black, sleekest possible &nbsp;and midi length- why not???

It's really not my style. But a friend of mine bought one to wear as a wedding guest. She loves it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803682 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 15:56:51 +0000 Staysfit 1803682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tulle skirt, but not for me, my DD wears them so I will pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803666 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 15:01:49 +0000 Janet 1803666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, I love Bijou's and Brooklyn's skirts! If I had the right kind of body and the occasion, I would wear those instead of tulle. In fact, I had similar ones in the past, in my younger, skinnier, dressier days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803656 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 14:43:43 +0000 harmonica 1803656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF - now is time to pass it on to someone who will take it into rotation. :-)</p> <p>jlpp - Absolutely, styling is key!</p> <p>SandyG - I bet you look great in your ivory tulle!</p> <p>Sal - yes, Carrie is iconic. Her styling would be way too romantic for me.</p> <p>Anne - you are such a sport. Half maraton is impressive! :-)</p> <p>JenniNZ - better to have fantasy items than wardrobe orphans</p> <p>Bijou - that velvet looks so luxe! </p> <p>Brooklyn - beautiful skirt! Great you take it to work.</p> <p>K.M. - none of my boys would ever wear a tulle, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803651 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 14:34:48 +0000 harmonica 1803651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Your comments really spur my reasoning behind why I was drawn to this skirt. It could be this one item in my wardrobe that can transform from everyday glam to special occations. </p> <p>I will have to try it on in person, though. I'd like it to be about knee-length, no shorter. And if I feel stuffed and poufy, I'll happily pass. I think I would manage to sew one by myself, but not sure it would be cheaper.</p> <p>Elle, cheryl, EmilyK - thanks!</p> <p>JAileen, Joy - it's good when you have it sorted and don't clutter your RL wardrobe with imaginary life style pieces </p> <p>Mel - I was never a girlie girl and have avoided pink for 40 years. Maybe it's time to try something new-to-me. :-)</p> <p>Suz - thanks for mentioning Jenn's 30 wears. Very helpful criteria! Your Halogen skirt has a similar function as a tulle. I love you in that skirt!</p> <p>Greenjeans - lol, yes, let them have fun. :-)</p> <p>RobinF - great for weddings and holiday parties, new years eve etc. Keep us posted when you get out your tulle again. :-)</p> <p>Runcarla - sequinned pencil, that's a great idea! I like it for you.</p> <p>Janet - I love your moody floral prints! Your style is so fab and coherent. Great to know your limits and personal preferences well.</p> <p>BC - a good laugh is never wrong. :-)</p> <p>MsMary - I know you rock a tulle! Keep us updated on the pleated metallic skirt. </p> <p>ChristinaF - a few items for special occations have a rightful place in the wardrobe.</p> <p>approprio - plissé is a great substitute! Got to check out Jap streetstyle right away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803633 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 13:59:26 +0000 K.M. 1803633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica, I've been dreaming of a tulle skirt for a while. I would love to wear one in the everyday--work, for example--dressed down in some way. Garnet Hill has featured something like this (with tees or sweaters) for a while. I also work in an academic environment and I would love to dress up a little more than I do now. In my field, there's a bit of latitude in how people dress. </p> <p>I do enjoy styling my 6-year old in a cream tulle skirt with sweaters. I live vicariously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803601 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 10:12:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1803601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't and don't think I would but never say never. I bought this skirt, which is a shiny brocade and not my usual style, and I just luurve it. I plan to wear it with ankle boots and black jacket and will probably wear it to work even though it is borderline evening wear.<br /> You should get that tulle skirt :)<br /> Oh, and I luurve Bijou's velvet skirt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt/page/2#post-1803595 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 08:49:16 +0000 Bijou 1803595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tulle skirts have not been really speaking to me, but I did buy this blue velvet skirt (which I imagine would have to be styled in a similar way to the tulle skirt) and I really love it because it adds a touch of fun and freshness to my wardrobe. I like this best on me with a white shirt and white boots. If you like the skirt and can see yourself wearing it, definitely go for it and then wear it every opportunity you can (with a t-shirt and sneakers when out and about...). That is what wildcard items are all about, things that you buy because they are a bit outside of your normal and practical items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803587 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 08:15:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 1803587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful skirts on SJP in those pics, Sally! I was still a bit too prudish at that time to watch that programme. I don't think I've ever worn a tulle skirt in my whole life and feel sad :(. It's a fantasy item for me, much like wishing I looked like Farrah Fawcett. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803586 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 07:18:49 +0000 anne 1803586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a purple tutu for a half marathon once bc. Don't really know why but the group I went up with were all doing it so I went along with it. It did cheer fellow runners. Dress up for races are seen quite a bit where I live.<br /> As for normal tulle skirt like shown in this thread? I love the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803579 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 05:13:06 +0000 Sal 1803579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, but similar to you Harmonica, I am not quite sure where I would wear it...</p> <p>They are fun though, and if you love it, you might find a way.</p> <p>I always think of Carrie from Sex and the City in her tulle skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803578 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 04:54:16 +0000 Emily K 1803578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love this exact specimen, but I'd wear something similar for date-night.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803576 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 04:46:02 +0000 Anonymous 1803576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had enough of tulle in grade school when fashion dictated full skirts with multiple tulle layers worn underneath so that they stood out. No these would not fit my life style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803574 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 04:37:16 +0000 SandyG 1803574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is an ivory deconstructed midi, which seems easier to wear than straightforward navy. I love it and pair it with a pirate girl tee for coffee shop meets. Fun but not silly or princess-y, you know?</p> <p>If you're drawn to tulle, then run with it. Life is short, wear what makes you happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803530 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 23:44:44 +0000 Anonymous 1803530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear it and I am almost 44. I don't think age makes it look ridiculous I think just wearing something that isn't you or comfortable to you can make things look off.<br />I love the skirt you posted. I have a silvery one from Anthro with small beaded owls on it and also a pink one and I style them differently depending where they will be worn. Wore one to a Christmas play last year and loved it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803523 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 23:11:21 +0000 DonnaF 1803523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD got me a black one at a rummage sale.&nbsp; "Mom, it's not too short!"&nbsp; But a size or two too big and a little long and never worn.&nbsp; It's buried at the back of my closet because it was a gift, but I should give it back to her.</p> <p>I would wear other crazy things, but tulle is too young and too femme for me.&nbsp; Not something I could/would edge up.&nbsp; If I had a fragile ballerina build, I suppose I might consider it, but I've always leaned toward being sturdy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803468 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:53:52 +0000 approprio 1803468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear tulle, but only because pouffy skirts aren't great for my body shape. My version of this is plissé, which creates a more streamlined silhouette. </p> <p>I have two skirts, one vintage white acetate and one in apricot silk chiffon. Both get worn, in summer with tees and sneakers and in winter with layered knitwear and boots. I find them surprisingly useful and versatile, a nice way to add drama to an everyday outfit.</p> <p>These kinds of skirts have been a big thing in Japanese street style, where the girls wear them very casually with just about anything.&nbsp;If you find one you like, why not give it a try? </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803463 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:34:21 +0000 Christina F. 1803463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love tulle skirts and wish I had a purpose for them in my life! I do have a kind of tea stained/pinkish skirt that looks like tulle but is softer, swishier material, that I got from H&amp;M years ago when I used to shop at H&amp;M. I hold onto it because it fills that occasional need for me. I still covet a real tulle skirt but can't see me wearing it to work. Maybe for events? We do go to the theater or to classical music a lot, but I don't always dress up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803442 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:29:44 +0000 MsMary 1803442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear the heck out of a tulle skirt! I have a ballerina-y skirt that is similar to tulle that I got at a YLF clothing swap years ago (waving at Mochi) and I love it for things like symphony concerts with a black turtleneck and leather jacket. I also have the pleated satin Halogen skirt that Suz linked (mine is black) and still wear and love it.</p> <p>Right now, though, I feel like tulle is maybe on its last fashion legs so I am in search of a pleated metallic skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803434 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:08:35 +0000 Elle 1803434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt, especially the color. If I were younger and had a waist, I would definitely wear it - to holiday parties, opera etc. &nbsp;You could really make it edgy with the right top and shoes. &nbsp;</p> <p>If you can find an occasion to wear it, I'll bet you'd look great in it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803407 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:18:33 +0000 Anonymous 1803407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last month, when we took our family out for brunch, we saw some runners in a marathon for charity. One was wearing a bright pink, short tulle skirt. I don't know what that was supposed to represent. All of the other runners were in normal athletic attire. We had a good laugh, though. :)</p> <p>Would I wear a tulle skirt? No </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803405 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:13:35 +0000 Janet 1803405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny, even as a child, I never loved tulle. And I was a girlie girl, not a tomboy. But I guess I get my romantic touches in other ways (moody floral prints, etc.). I've never been a fan of anything "pouffy." It's always nice to know very definitively when you don't even want to bother trying an impractical trend! </p> <p>Carla, I do love that sequined skirt -- alas, anything shiny and textured on my bottom half is a disaster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803400 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:01:27 +0000 Carla 1803400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only in a tongue in cheek way, like below. However my equivalent to your tulle is a sequinned pencil skirt (worn with a T and jean jacket). The second image below is one of the first I pined, and is still on my favourites list. I don't have one, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803397 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 13:54:31 +0000 RobinF 1803397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have a black one that I got super cheap on clearance and have had for many years. I don't wear it a lot, I'm not brave enough to wear it casually, but I have worn it to weddings and Christmas parties and on cruises. I often wear it with a cropped silk wrap top that is a coral-ish color. It's a fun skirt to wear, makes me feel good and doesn't go out of style. I really should try the tee and moto look with it some day.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-tulle-skirt#post-1803396 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 13:43:34 +0000 Greenjeans 1803396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, I live in a place where girls and women break out the tulle for festival-type events - cruiser bike rides, Halloween, concerts and so on. &nbsp;The tutus, etc. are intended as costumes but sometimes, I think, some people just want to wear tulle. &nbsp; </p>
