2022 Autumn and Fall time Tutu and Ballet Fashion in Hove

Hey lovelies! It's Emma here, and as the leaves begin to change colour and the crisp autumn air rolls in, I'm feeling super inspired to bring a touch of ballerina chic to our Hove wardrobes! 💖

Autumn has always been my favourite time for fashion, with its cosy textures and vibrant colours. But this year, I'm all about merging those classic autumnal vibes with a whimsical, ballet-inspired twist. Let's explore how to channel that inner ballerina this season! #tutufashion

First Up: The Colour Palette

We can't talk about autumn fashion without embracing those gorgeous earthy tones. Think deep, rich reds, golden yellows, warm browns, and, of course, that signature pumpkin spice orange! This year, I'm seeing a beautiful mix of these hues with dusty pinks and even pops of emerald green. This gives our autumn wardrobes a sophisticated edge, without losing that whimsical touch.

Embracing the Tutu:

Ok, now for the fun part! Bringing in tutu vibes needn't be literal. It's more about that feeling of effortless grace and romanticism that comes with a swirling, delicate tutu skirt.

• Layer Like a Ballerina: A sheer, layered tulle skirt paired with a classic knit sweater is the epitome of autumnal ballet style. Play with different lengths – a midi skirt paired with ankle boots for a more grown-up look or a shorter tutu for a flirty, youthful vibe.
• Tulle & Texture: For a more casual look, I love incorporating a delicate tulle scarf or a tulle-embellished bag. The softness and transparency add a unique texture and visual interest to any outfit.
• The Ballet Bodice: This is a bit more advanced, but for the true tutu enthusiast, a delicate lace or velvet bodice is the ultimate ballerina statement. Pair it with a flowing midi skirt, jeans, or even a classic A-line dress.

Accessorise Like a Ballerina:

• Delicate Chain & Pendant Necklaces: I'm all about delicate necklaces this autumn – the longer the better! A chain necklace with a subtle charm, or even just a simple chain, complements that delicate tutu vibe perfectly.
• Statement Earrings: Choose dramatic teardrop earrings for a glamorous look or studs for a more casual feel. Experiment with colours and textures, adding a pop of colour against your earthy tones.
• Heels for Grace: I’m all for comfort, but if you want to channel the elegance of a ballet dancer, try a pair of delicate heeled ankle boots or heeled flats. A pair of heeled ballet flats in velvet or satin adds that final touch of ballerina-chic.

Don’t Forget the Makeup!

• Romantic Flush: Use a soft, rosy blush for that delicate ballet-inspired glow. Blend it into the apples of your cheeks and even on your eyelids for a unified look.
• Defined Eyes: Soft, dark eyeliner and lashings of mascara can complete your ballerina-chic look. Avoid harsh lines – the goal is natural elegance.
• Subtle Lips: Opt for a neutral lip colour with a touch of shine or a delicate, dusty pink lipstick to maintain a softer look.
