In the past few years, we’ve seen how fashion is slowly debunking stereotypes and myths about femininity and gender norms. In the same way as colors, cuts, pieces, and fabrics have a huge load of meanings that we’ve associated with them as years go by. It’s not hard to think about it. Some centuries ago, pants were only reserved for men; the same with leather, which was a fabric that conveyed masculinity, strength, and rebelliousness, adjectives that were unlikely be to used to describe a woman. There are tons of fashion elements that are supposed to be inherently feminine, like lace, the color pink, and dresses. Tulle is probably one of those classic elements that are so deeply associated with women and what society considers appropriate for them to wear.
For ages, tulle has equalled delicacy, as well as purity and elegance. Its ethereal essence and texture convey a sense of divinity, nearly angelical vibes women are expected to aspire to. Don’t get me wrong; actually, tulle is one of my favorite fabrics and I’d still love a huge princess-shaped tulle gown. However, fashion norms used to state that these kinds of pieces were basically for weddings and proms.
Fortunately, in recent times, fashion has evolved and taken these items to break previous rules, and tulle is now part of these modern and powerful trends. Designers have used this fabric’s ethereal and delicate essence as statement pieces for those who love breaking the rules. Forget about classic baby pink ballet tutus and experiment with this trend to add a unique touch to your style. Tulle details
