When you think about tulle, what do you think? Many people picture that iconic Carrie Bradshaw dress or those really poofy dresses that were in your dress-up box when a kid. However, there isn’t an age limit on tulle, so you can wear it at any time.

Still, you are going to get some pretty strange look if you wear it like you used to, so here are some fresh ways to bring tulle into your wardrobe:

As a Blazer

For a little bit more fun when you are at work, consider adding some tulle to a blazer. This is a great way to keep your style fun and young but still let people know that you are a professional and you deserve to be treated as such. You can’t wear this every day, but it is fun for an occasional moment of lightness.

For an even better look, consider getting it in black or a pop of color so that you can amp up the fashion aspect of the silhouette.

Wear It Tight On Top

For a bit of a daring look, consider using one layer of tulle as a top. Of course, this isn’t going to be something that you wear to the office or something that you wear around your parents, but you can use it to look fun and modern. Don’t worry about what other people think about you, just wear it as you want.

For A Tight Skirt

So many people think of tulle skirts and think of flouncy ballerina skirts, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead, think about getting a tight tulle skirt. This skirt looks extremely elegant and fits extremely well, which is the key to making a tight fitting tulle skirt work.

Toughened Up A Bit

Bomber jackets are extremely popular, and there is no better way to wear them than with some tulle and sequins. This is a great mixture of a feminine material with a more masculine shape. You will have fun playing with the different layers of a jacket like this and you certainly won’t have to worry about overheating while you wear it.

So you don’t have to think that you are a little girl when you are wearing tulle. Instead, you can embrace it and use it to heighten your fashion to another level.
