15 Tulle Skirts to Add to Your Wardrobe This Spring

If there’s one trend that’s been sneakily taking over the fashion scene lately, it’s the tulle skirt. What started as a whimsical addition to the runways, with designers like Molly Goddard leading the charge, has now infiltrated the streets and closets of fashion people everywhere. From the sidewalks of New York to the boutiques of Paris and even spotted on some of Who What Wear UK’s favourite style celebs, tulle skirts are making a statement, proving that they’re not just reserved for ballerinas anymore.

Last year, Jennifer Lawrence turned heads when she stepped out in a tulle skirt paired with a tailored black blazer, an edgy way to make this feminine piece pack a punch. And during Paris Fashion Week this season, the fashion set was spotted twirling in tulle skirts of all lengths and colours—but black and white seemed to be favoured—proving this trend’s wearability. Whether you’re sipping champagne at a gallery opening or attending an outdoor summer soirée, the tulle skirt is the perfect choice for making a stylish entrance.

And the options to this statement skirt trend are endless. There’s not just tulle but sequin, ruffled styles and some adorned with with appliqué florals. Whilst Simone Rocha, Victoria Beckham and Anthropologie’s offering feels classically spring, with a pastel and nude palette, others are more gothic, coming in darker and metallic tones—the Noir Kei Ninomiya ruched midi skirt is one I can envision being a major player in this years Halloween costumes.

But how to style them? If you’re looking to dress yours up, a silk camisole and heels feels timeless and elevated (and a little Carrie Bradshaw, no?), but if you want to make this typically feminine piece a little more casual, try it with a graphic tee and sneakers. Pro tip: always carry a blazer to take any outfit from day to night super easily.
