2022 Autumn and Fall time Tutu and Ballet Fashion in Blyth

Hello darlings! It's Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballerina and fashion enthusiast. Autumn is officially here, and I can already feel that crisp, slightly chilled air. While the leaves turn from lush green to fiery reds and golds, I'm already dreaming of all the wonderful autumnal colour schemes that my favourite ballet tutus and fashion pieces can be styled with. And what better place to start this stylish journey than my beloved Blyth?

This year, I’m all about bringing that elegant, feminine ballet grace into my autumn wardrobe. From rich velvets to whimsical knitwear, and, of course, a touch of ballerina-inspired flair, I’m ready to embrace all that autumn has to offer.

Okay, let's face it: a tutu is just the most fabulous, feminine piece of clothing ever created. Forget the traditional image of a white tutu only worn for performance, because this autumn, we’re about to break the rules!

Firstly, forget the old ‘ballet only’ concept. Think of a tutu as a versatile, magical fashion item. You want something different? A tutu makes your everyday look absolutely extraordinary. Whether you're walking through the town centre or heading to a cozy cafe for a hot chocolate, a tutu can add a whimsical touch to any outfit.

Blyth has a diverse and stylish bunch of shops, so let’s dive into the tutu styles and colour palettes I think would work brilliantly with this autumn’s fashion trends:

1. Romantic in Rust: Imagine a rust-coloured tutu (a classic colour this autumn) paired with a soft, ivory knit sweater and ankle boots. I can picture this ensemble at a cosy, evening-lit dinner date at one of Blyth's wonderful restaurants. Throw in a matching rust-toned knitted scarf, and you have the perfect, effortlessly stylish look.

2. Forest Fairies: Blyth's Northumberlandian landscape, with its enchanting woodlands, inspired me to create a "forest fairy" inspired look. Imagine a dark emerald green tutu – perhaps even with a sparkly or sequined design – worn with a simple, earthy toned knitted sweater. It creates the feeling of being transported into the magical world of a forest glade! Add a few dainty jewellery pieces – I think gold looks amazing with green, don’t you? – and finish with a pair of pointed, ankle-strap shoes to complete the forest fantasy.

3. Burgundy Rhapsody: There’s something so sophisticated and luxurious about the deep hues of burgundy. A gorgeous burgundy tutu, layered over a white, button-up blouse – it’s elegant, a little bit dramatic, and perfectly fits with Blyth’s charming history and heritage. For this look, think black patent leather heeled shoes and statement gold earrings – you’re going to stand out!

4. Misty Grey Ballet: This is a softer look for a daytime stroll through the autumnal Blyth. Think of a classic, misty grey tulle tutu – which has been in style for a few seasons now and still feels fresh and stylish. Paired with a cosy chunky-knit grey cardigan (and those trusty ankle boots again, as they are such a versatile essential), this creates a laid-back, almost bohemian look that captures the essence of autumn. Add a vintage satchel bag or a tote filled with the perfect seasonal essentials.

5. Faded Flower Fairy: To add a pop of colour into the look, I think a light-pink faded rose tutu (I have a big weakness for pink!) layered over a dark, distressed denim jacket is pure autumn magic! Complete the look with delicate pink and grey flower-printed accessories, like a scarf or a bag.

6. A Little Black Tutus: Nothing says "chic" like a little black dress, and that principle applies to tutus too! Black is such a timeless, sleek and adaptable colour, and a black tutu can be easily styled into various looks. From evening outings at Blyth's exciting restaurants to a stroll along the beach as the sun sets, a black tutu with an oversized beige knitted cardigan, leather biker jacket or a bold red knit top is the perfect autumn ensemble. Remember to accessorise to make the black tutu the highlight of your look.
