Hey darlings! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast and all things pink obsessed! As the leaves start to turn their fiery hues and the crisp autumn air bites at our cheeks, I can't help but think: ballet and autumn fashion are a match made in heaven. And with the cobbled streets and charming little shops of Guiseley at my doorstep, I’m absolutely buzzing to share my autumn tutu fashion finds and styling tips with you!
This year, I’m all about celebrating the warmth and richness of autumn colours with a touch of whimsical ballet-inspired flair. Whether you're heading out for a day of leaf-peeping or a cosy afternoon tea, these outfit ideas are guaranteed to make you feel utterly fabulous and channel your inner ballerina.
From Tutus to Tights: Embracing the Autumnal Palette
Forget the dusty rose and pastel pink of spring, autumn calls for a vibrant burst of colour! I’m ditching my usual blush pinks and going bold with:
- Ruby Red: It’s a powerful and romantic hue that radiates autumn warmth. Think a flowy scarlet tutu with a black fitted bodice – a perfect balance of elegant and fierce!
- Golden Yellow: I'm loving the rich golden yellow this season, reminiscent of fallen leaves and the glow of candlelight. I'll be rocking a layered tulle tutu with a black top and statement gold earrings to complete the look.
- Deep Burgundy: The quintessential autumn colour, Burgundy exudes sophistication and depth. Pair a burgundy tutu with a sleek black sweater or a tailored blouse – you'll be the epitome of chic.
Earthy Browns: Don’t forget about the subtle yet grounding tones! Earthy browns are a classic for a reason, and can be effortlessly stylish. Think a brown tutu paired with a light grey knitted jumper or a cream-coloured shirt.
Accessorize like a Ballet Star
Autumn is all about layering, and there’s no better place to showcase this than in your accessories!
- Tights are your best friend: From sheer nude to vibrant plum, tights elevate any tutu look, adding a touch of sophistication and keeping you warm.
- Bold Scarves: Opt for silk scarves in jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple – a touch of luxury against a crisp autumn backdrop.
- Boots that make a statement: Think chunky platform boots in brown or black, suede ankle boots, or sleek knee-high boots. Pair them with your favourite tutu for an effortlessly chic and edgy vibe.
