According to
Wikipedia, " Mesh is a loosely woven or knitted fabric that has a large number of closely-spaced holes." That is an accurate definition but in my mind mesh is the overlooked sister of tulle. They really closely resemble each other but tulle gets all of the attention because it is featured in fancier frocks and classic ballerina costumes. Mesh is more like the cooler, edgier sister that rebels and are usually associated with punk, urban, and sportier designs. The thing is mesh gets a bad rap because it can be just as sophisticated and pretty as tulle and luckily in the last few fashion seasons designers are starting to understand that. They are designing clothing that showcases mesh in all of its beauty and glory.
