Hey darlings! It's Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballet-obsessed fashionista. Autumn has arrived in Chichester, and with it comes the glorious, chilly air, the smell of burning leaves, and… a whole new season of TUTU-tastic fashion! 🎉
I know what you're thinking: "But Emma, it's not actually summer anymore, can we still wear tutus?". Absolutely, my lovelies! Tutu fashion isn't just for the sunshine. With a few clever styling tricks and some fabulous fall colours, we can transition this iconic ballet garment into a must-have for the autumn season.
Today, I'm taking you on a whirlwind tour of Tutu fashion in Chichester, sharing some of my favourite looks and tips for embracing autumnal ballet-inspired style. Let's dive in!
Embrace the Autumnal Palette:We’re ditching the sunshine yellow and bright pink for the moment. This season, it's all about the warm and rich hues that embody autumn's magic.
Think: * * *Burgundy: The ultimate autumnal shade that's luxurious, sophisticated, and incredibly versatile. * Burnt Orange: Vibrant, earthy, and perfect for adding a pop of colour to any outfit. * Mustard Yellow: A gorgeous alternative to bright yellow, adding a warm and sunny touch to a chilly autumn day. * Deep Greens: Think forest green and olive - shades that bring a touch of the outdoors into your look.
These rich shades not only perfectly complement the changing foliage but also look incredible with a tutu! Think about how these colours translate onto a tutu. You can get a beautiful burnt orange tutu or add a splash of deep green to an otherwise neutral-toned tutu. Let's talk textures:
Textures that Make a StatementWhen autumn rolls around, we like to get cosy, right? So why not let your tutu reflect this trend?
**Some texture inspiration for your autumn tutu look:
- Velvet: Rich, sumptuous, and incredibly on-trend. Think of a velvet tutu, a velvet jacket, or even a pair of velvet boots!
- Leather: Embrace the edgy side of tutu fashion with a leather jacket or a pair of leather leggings.
- Knit: Nothing says autumn like knitwear, and a knitted jumper is the perfect way to layer your tutu look for a touch of warmth and cosy vibes.
- Fur: A touch of luxury and warmth! Consider faux fur to be on the more ethical side.
