Hey lovelies! It’s Emma here, and guess what? It's officially Autumn, which means one thing – time to embrace the season of cosy sweaters, crackling fires, and wait for it… tutu fashion!
Yes, you heard that right! Whilst you may be thinking pumpkin spice lattes and leaf piles, I’m dreaming of chic autumnal hues, playful textures, and finding ways to incorporate ballet-inspired style into my everyday look. This season, Herne Bay is the perfect place to find the ideal tutu-infused outfits to elevate your style, whether you’re hitting up the local markets, enjoying a seaside stroll, or simply living your best life!
A touch of pink for the cooler weather:
I love nothing more than a touch of pink. It just screams autumn elegance and sophistication! Pink is also my all-time favourite colour, and there's no better time to wear it than when the leaves are turning a glorious shade of gold. I’m thinking blush pink cardigans, dusty rose velvet dresses, and – you guessed it – pink tulle skirts! Just the right amount of romantic and whimsical to brighten even the dreariest autumn day.
Think beyond the traditional tutu:
Sure, a full-blown, fluffy tutu might be a bit too much for everyday wear (though trust me, I’ve been tempted!), but that doesn't mean we can't embrace the spirit of ballet. This season, I'm all about incorporating elements of the tutu into my wardrobe without going full-on stagewear. Think layers of tulle in the form of skirts, dresses and even scarves. And let's not forget the magic of ballet flats. Perfect for comfort and style, they’re incredibly versatile, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
Let’s Talk Layers:
One of the most fun parts of autumn style is layering. This season, let your inner ballerina shine through by playing with different fabrics and textures. Try layering a delicate tulle skirt over your favourite pair of skinny jeans or leggings. A knitted cardigan with a pop of pink will add that touch of warmth and effortless chic, perfect for chillier days.

Herne Bay's Tutu Fashion: More than just clothes
But it's not just the clothes. Let’s add some more oomph to your Herne Bay autumn with a little bit of ballet inspiration, starting with a pique (see what I did there?! 😉) into the art of hair styling.
Styling Your Hair:
I absolutely adore ballerina buns! They’re neat, chic and versatile, and you can accessorize them with everything from tiny bobby pins to sparkling clips. But don't be afraid to explore other styles too, such as romantic braids, effortless ponytails, and even headbands, embellished with beautiful lace or floral details for a touch of autumn magic.
Make-Up Must-Haves:
While you might be tempted to hide behind a chunky knit scarf in the winter months, embracing the season's muted palette for your makeup can create a stunning, autumnal look.
Warm blush: It gives you a fresh, natural glow and complements the season's rich colour palette.
Berry-toned lipstick: Opt for deep crimson, plummy browns, and deep burgundy for that sophisticated touch of autumn romance.
Dewy finish: Remember, autumn isn't about drying up your skin. A touch of shimmery highlighter adds dimension and light, reflecting those beautiful colours, even on a dull day.
Let’s hit the pavement!
