2022 Autumn and Fall time Tutu and Ballet Fashion in Loughborough

Hey lovely dancers and fashionistas! It’s Emma here, and autumn is finally here, bringing with it a kaleidoscope of colours and a crisp, cool breeze. I’m absolutely smitten with how the season transforms the world around us, and of course, it’s also the perfect time to elevate our style – especially when it comes to tutu fashion! 🩰 Today I’m taking you on a little tour of Loughborough, sharing some ideas for autumn-inspired tutu looks and my top picks for where to find the perfect pieces.

Loughborough, with its vibrant energy and rich history, makes for a delightful backdrop for showcasing tutu fashion. I mean, think about it! This quaint town with its cobbled streets, stunning historical buildings, and leafy green parks… it's basically the setting for a classic ballet story! Plus, there are loads of lovely cafes and shops for your autumnal explorations and photo-worthy moments. 😉 So grab a pumpkin spice latte (I know you love them, I love them!), put on your favourite ballet flats, and let's get into this!

Autumn calls for an earthy and grounded colour palette – think deep burgundy, golden yellow, warm rust, and the most beautiful hues of forest green. But we’re still aiming for the most gorgeous tutu style and don't worry, we can definitely incorporate these autumnal colours without abandoning our pink obsession!

Who said you can't wear pink in autumn? Think rose gold, blush pink, or pale peach, all beautifully complementing those deep burgundy, earthy browns, and golden yellows. I adore this trio - the elegance of pink contrasts so beautifully with the rich earthiness of the other shades. This is a super chic combo to really make your tutu fashion stand out and show off your unique style.

For a street style look, pair a gorgeous rose gold tutu with a warm, burgundy knitted cardigan or a mustard-coloured leather jacket. It’s casual yet absolutely glam – perfect for strolling through the market or catching a performance at Loughborough’s charming town hall.

And, let’s not forget lilac – a subtle and romantic hue that's oh-so-perfect for the soft embrace of autumn. I envision a romantic tutu look with a lilac-hued skirt paired with a comfy rust-coloured turtleneck and a suede bomber jacket. Think ballet meets chic boho style, the perfect way to blend femininity and cool-girl vibes!

The olive green is another fantastic option that will take your outfit from day to night. You can combine an olive green bomber jacket with a blush pink tutu for a sophisticated, everyday look or a more dressy ensemble with a darker shade of green paired with a longer lilac or mauve tutu and statement heels.

This autumn, think textured and cosy fabrics that capture the spirit of the season. Knitted cardigans, chunky turtlenecks, faux fur stoles, and soft wool fabrics – they’re the key to layering up for that perfect "ballet-inspired-street-style" vibe.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with layers – it's how you can transition from day to evening flawlessly! Think of a delicate tutu skirt worn with a cosy cable knit sweater or a comfy jumper, finished off with a chunky faux fur scarf. If it's chilly, you can always pair it with a classic trench coat.

We all love the elegance of pointe shoes, but sometimes, let's face it, comfort reigns supreme, especially when we’re out and about! 🩰 That's where stylish ballet flats come in, offering both chicness and comfort. Pick from suede or velvet styles for that touch of sophistication, or opt for embellished ballet flats with some dazzling sequins. They look fantastic with everything from midi-skirts to leggings.

Another brilliant footwear option for this season? Knee-high boots. Think chunky brown leather boots paired with a romantic, flowing lilac tutu – an unexpected yet chic combo that looks stunningly fashionable and very on-trend!

Autumn calls for some stunning accessories! 🍂

Don't be afraid to embrace those enchanting autumn accessories and play around with textures. Think textured tights – maybe a delicate cable knit style or a bold geometric pattern that reflects the seasonal vibe.

For those who love sparkle, consider a pair of metallic brogues or a gorgeous sequin bag for that special occasion. I'm all about statement jewellery, so look for oversized pendants in the colours of the season - think earthy gemstones and golden accents, perfect for adding that final touch of magic to your look.
