Hey lovelies! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballet blogger, ready to tutufy your autumn wardrobe. As the leaves turn a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour, it's the perfect time to inject some ballet-inspired magic into our style! Think twirling through crisp air, the warmth of autumnal hues, and of course, the timeless elegance of the tutu.
Now, you might be thinking: "Tutus in autumn? Isn't that a bit…summery?"
But let me tell you, tutus are for every season, and autumn is the perfect time to embrace their versatility! They're not just for pirouettes and pliés anymore. This year, we're mixing it up with textures, colours, and silhouettes to create a sophisticated and fun autumnal vibe.
Let's delve into the delightful details:
A Tapestry of Texture
Layers are your new best friend. Think soft, cosy sweaters tucked into flowing tulle skirts. The contrast in textures creates a truly captivating visual feast, and keeping warm is always a priority during these colder months! You can choose a vintage cable-knit cardigan for that charming countryside feel, or go for a sleek black turtleneck for a modern edge.
For a touch of luxurious elegance, a velvet jacket is a winner! The richness of the fabric will complement the airy grace of the tulle. Think deep burgundy, emerald green, or even a regal navy for an undeniably sophisticated look.
Autumnal Palette
Say goodbye to the bright summer pastels and embrace the earthier tones of autumn. Think golden yellows, rich reds, deep purples, and even a hint of warm orange.
My personal favourite is rose gold. This beautiful metallic hue adds a subtle shine without being too over-the-top, and it complements autumnal tones perfectly.
For the daring, there’s the allure of black. Black tulle is both dramatic and chic, allowing you to channel your inner ballerina with a modern twist. A sleek black beret and black tights complete the look!
Styling for Every Occasion
Daytime Charm:
Think casual elegance. Opt for a soft, pink tulle skirt with a fitted white tee and cute ankle boots – I always pair it with a classic camel trench coat, perfect for rainy days. Add a delicate gold necklace and you’re ready to grab a coffee with your girls.
Effortlessly Stylish:
For an easy yet impactful look, combine a midi tulle skirt with a oversized knit jumper. Think soft hues of cream, caramel, or even a dusky pink. The perfect balance of effortless and stylish – you'll be twirling with confidence all day long!
Evening Enchantment:
Ready to make a statement? Try a sparkly or sequined tulle skirt. It’s the perfect excuse to amp up the glamour! Pair it with a classic black cami, a fitted blazer, and elegant heels.
