Hey lovelies!
It's Emma here, and autumn is officially in full swing, which means one thing – it's time to embrace the cosy vibes and the most wonderful fashion trend of all: tutu-inspired autumn style!
Denton's autumnal weather calls for layering, texture, and a touch of whimsy – perfect for blending our love of ballet with the season's hues. Think rich reds, fiery oranges, deep yellows, and comforting browns, all against a backdrop of our beloved pink! 💕
So, let's dive into what I’ve been loving this season – and how you can get the look too!
1. The "Fall Foliage" Tutu Look:
I can't resist incorporating the colours of autumn into my ballet-inspired outfits, and nothing says "fall foliage" like a bold, textured burgundy or rust-coloured tulle skirt!
This is where Layering becomes your best friend. I'm talking about a velvet top or a thick knit jumper for warmth and style – both are great pairings with a statement tutu skirt. Don’t forget those knee-high socks for an extra touch of elegance. Think cosy cable knits or luxurious merino wool.
Accessorize with a beaded or crystal necklace, a chain belt with a touch of pink to bring a soft colour into your ensemble, and, of course, ballet flats or sleek Chelsea boots to complete the look.
Hair and Makeup: For a polished autumnal feel, try a low bun with a touch of braided detail or some soft waves with a side braid.
2. The "Romantic Rhapsody" Tutu Dress:
Think graceful movements, swirling fabrics, and a dash of ethereal beauty – we’re bringing the ballerina’s graceful elegance to everyday style with the help of a ballet-inspired dress.
Choose a classic tulle dress in a dusty pink, rose gold, or blush – perfect for injecting a touch of sweetness. I recommend going for a dress with a romantic, flowy silhouette that gently hugs your curves and gives you a graceful look.
Add that Autumn Touch: Now let’s spice things up a bit! Try layering a delicate lace cardigan or a cropped velvet jacket in a warm brown or rust over the dress. This will add depth, warmth, and a dash of vintage charm.
Completing the Ensemble: Pair this outfit with lace-up ankle boots or chunky platform heels, and elevate the look further with earrings with a crystal or gemstone detail.
3. The "Urban Ballet" Tutu Look:
This one’s all about combining the effortless chic of city style with the elegance of the dance world! Think sharp silhouettes, polished finishes, and a touch of ballerina charm.
Instead of a traditional tutu skirt, I recommend a modern twist: a full A-line skirt or a sleek, minimalist skirt in a rich plum or navy colour. Opt for fabrics like satin, velvet, or a luxurious brocade for a touch of drama and refinement.
Play with Layering: A crisp white shirt tucked into the skirt provides a sharp contrast and adds sophistication. Throw on a tailored blazer for a more formal feel, or experiment with a cropped cardigan or a fitted knitted sweater.
Modern Accessories: Accessorize with chunky, gold-toned jewelry and ballet-inspired brogues or loafers.
4. The "Denton Night Out" Tutu Outfit:
Denton has some fabulous night-life spots, and a Tutu look will ensure you stand out!
Think sophisticated tulle, embellishments, and luxurious textures. Opt for a fitted, sparkly tutu-inspired skirt in a deep emerald, sapphire blue, or a shimmering champagne gold. For an even more glamorous look, pair this skirt with a black velvet top and a striking statement belt, making a statement as you move.
Accessorize: Opt for dazzling gold earrings, statement bracelets, a shimmering clutch bag, and chic stiletto heels to complete the look.
Glam Your Makeup: Use a warm, smoky eye shadow, a subtle contour, and a nude lip gloss or a bold red lipstick – a classic choice.
Tips to Complete the Tutu Trend:
Get Creative with Fabrics and Textures: Don’t be afraid to mix and match materials for an extra dimension of style! Consider faux fur, velvet, lace, leather, and even chunky knits!
Experiment with Prints: Incorporate autumnal floral prints, plaid patterns, and even paisley for a touch of vintage elegance.
Don’t Overlook the Little Details: Add a statement brooch or scarf to a simple outfit to bring it to life, and opt for shoes that flatter the outfit and provide comfort!
Always Stay True to Your Style: The key to rocking a trend is to adapt it to your own unique style and preferences.
