Hey darlings! It's your girl Emma, back with another fabulous post. The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and that means one thing: Summer Ballet Season is here! 🎉 And honestly, what's more fabulous than a bit of pirouette under the sunshine? Nothing! ✨
Now, we all know ballet can be pretty traditional, but summer is the time to shake things up a bit! So put your glitter on, pop your hair into a bouncy bun, and get ready to embrace the most fabulously fun side of ballet. 😉
The Pinkest, Most Magical Summer Ballet Style Guide:This year, summer ballet is all about joy. It's about feeling good, letting loose, and embracing the vibrancy of the season. And you know me, darling - pink is always the way to go! 💖 Think pastel pinks, juicy flamingo shades, and even a little bit of neon for good measure!
Tutus, Oh My!: Forget your dusty, dusty old tutus from your last school show - this summer is all about light and playful fabrics. Think organza, tulle, or even chiffon in a flowy, dreamy style. The key? Keeping it light and breezy. We want that air flow, darling!
Dance-Ready Dressing: Now, we're not going to completely abandon those classic ballet looks. Your trusty black leotard is still a summer staple - but think color blocked leos with vibrant splashes of your favourite shade. Throw in some chic legwarmers and comfy dance shorts to complete the look.
Footwear Fun: Let's be real, darling, even in summer, ballet shoes can be sweaty! Thankfully, there are some great alternatives for the dance studio. Summer ballet slippers come in breathable fabrics and chic designs. Or why not try a pair of suede ballet pumps? They look amazing and are super comfy. For off-duty looks, some comfy white sneakers are your best friend - a must-have for any ballerina.
Hair that Wins: Forget about those tight, neat buns - this summer's all about flowing, loose waves that say, "I'm ready to dance the night away!". Embrace the heatwave, let your hair loose, and don't be afraid of a slight tousled look. Maybe even accessorize with a few summer-y flowers, a cute bandana, or a dainty little headband. 💖
Makeup Magic: We want our makeup to be just as radiant as our ballet moves! Think dewy skin, a dash of pink blush, and a subtle, peachy lip colour. Keep your eyes simple with mascara, a touch of shimmering eyeshadow (think shimmery pinks!), and lashings of black eyeliner. Remember, the focus is on your glowing summer skin, darling! ✨
