Hey lovelies! It's Emma here, your local ballerina with a passion for tutus and all things pretty. As the summer sun sets and the air gets a bit nippier, I can’t help but feel a little bit of excitement stir in my ballerina heart – autumn is upon us, and you know what that means? It’s the perfect time to channel your inner fairy, but with a touch of seasonal warmth! 🍁
Let's be honest, here in Great Yarmouth, autumn brings with it a special kind of charm. The golden light over the beach is simply magical, and the crisp air makes a ballet class all the more invigorating. 🌬️ And with all the seasonal festivities starting, it’s the perfect time to let your tutu style shine.
But don't worry, you don't need to be a professional dancer to rock the tutu trend this autumn. It's all about finding your own style and embracing the fun. And today, I'm going to give you all the tips you need to create some truly stunning autumnal looks, from casual to elegant, using that beloved piece of balletwear - the tutu!
Tutus for Every Occasion: Finding your Style in Autumn 🍂Casual Charm:
Let's kick off with a look that’s comfy and stylish - perfect for strolling along the Great Yarmouth seafront or grabbing coffee at the cute independent cafes in town. ☕ My go-to for this is a classic white or ivory tutu with a simple, comfy long-sleeve tee tucked in, a fluffy knit cardigan in a muted colour like grey or dusty pink thrown over, and chunky boots to ground the look. Add a cute, bright-coloured beanie for a splash of colour, and you're ready to embrace the cooler weather with your tutu in a relaxed and stylish way!
For those cooler days…:
You can easily layer up a tutu, which means you can rock this trend all through autumn. Over your top, consider adding a fitted bomber jacket in a rich autumn colour like burgundy or olive green for a more edgy feel, or a soft, oversized cardigan for a cosier vibe. Remember, I always say you can never go wrong with a statement scarf! Wrap it around your neck for a pop of colour and pattern.
Playful and Flirty:
Who doesn't love a little fun with fashion? When the sun pops out, take inspiration from autumn leaves and layer your tulle. A shorter tutu with a fitted top in a playful floral print will bring the beautiful hues of autumn to your wardrobe. Accessorize with some cute ankle boots, and a chain bag for that trendy Parisian vibe. If you're feeling bold, opt for a bright tutu in a vibrant colour like scarlet red or emerald green, paired with a simple, neutral-colored top.
The Great Yarmouth Look:
For a truly iconic autumn look, think about incorporating the charm of Great Yarmouth into your tutu fashion! Pair a blush pink tutu with a fitted, grey knitted jumper for a sophisticated, coastal look. The soft hues reflect the beauty of a cloudy autumn day on the beach. Finish it off with a chunky necklace with seashells, a pair of chunky platform heels, and a classic beach-inspired bag. You’ll be rocking that beach chic like a true Great Yarmouth gal.
Embrace the Colours of Autumn:
You can never go wrong with an autumnal color palette. When picking your tutu colours for autumn, don’t be afraid to explore rich jewel tones like deep emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue. Think about pairing them with tops or sweaters in muted shades like burnt orange, ochre, and dark teal.
Make it Elegant:
For special occasions, I love creating glamorous, elegant looks that are both festive and festive. For an elegant, evening look, a simple but beautifully-crafted tutu with a statement blouse and blazer is the perfect choice. Think rich burgundy velvet tops with delicate, black, lace trimmings. Pair with black ankle boots, an intricate chain necklace, and a mini top-handle handbag for a sophisticated, dramatic finish.
A Little Touch of Autumn Magic:
You know what adds that extra spark to your autumn look? Think about incorporating some autumnal details, like delicate leaf-shaped pins or earrings. It’s a subtle touch that can add an elegant touch to any outfit, whether it's a tutu for a casual afternoon coffee or for a glamorous night out.
Hair & Makeup:
When it comes to autumn, I always like to embrace natural beauty. So, my makeup motto for this season is simple – think bronzer and warm, glowy eyeshadow palettes with a subtle highlight on the cheekbones. Don’t forget a glossy, natural-looking lip!
For hair, braids are my go-to for fall, You can’t beat a french braid, a dutch braid, or even a crown braid – they add such a pretty, whimsical touch and complement the ballerina vibe! Think about creating messy buns or half-up, half-down styles for a more casual vibe.
Tips and Tricks for Your Tutu Wardrobe:
- Embrace the Tulle: Play with different types of tulle and create layers to create interesting textures and silhouettes.
- Tutu Upcycling: Give those older tutus a new life! Consider re-dyeing them in beautiful autumn colours or use them as a base to create a totally new, exciting style!
- Accessorise: I can't emphasise how much I love using accessories! Scarves, hats, headbands, bags, and jewellery can truly elevate your autumn tutu looks.
- Be Confident: Ultimately, the best fashion is fashion you feel comfortable in! Don't be afraid to play with textures and styles, embrace the whimsical charm of tutus, and always remember, you can never have too much fun with fashion!
