Hey everyone! It's Emma here, and autumn is definitely in the air! The crisp mornings, the colourful leaves, the cosy knitwear - I'm totally embracing it. And you know what else I'm embracing? My absolute favourite time of year to rock my tutu fashion!
Melton Mowbray, my home town, might not be known as a fashion capital, but trust me, there's so much inspiration here for autumnal ballet chic!
Today, I'm going to walk you through how to embrace your inner ballerina with some fabulous tutu fashion that’s both on trend and comfy enough to explore our lovely town. Let's dive in!
Pink Perfection: A Melton Mowbray Autumnal Tutu Inspiration Board
For me, pink and autumn are a match made in heaven! This gorgeous colour pops against the changing hues of the leaves and adds a touch of whimsical charm to any outfit.
Imagine this:
- The Outfit: A soft blush pink, tiered tulle tutu paired with a cream cashmere sweater. I love the juxtaposition of textures!
- The Footwear: Ballet flats in a dark brown leather (a little nod to the fallen leaves) are comfy yet stylish, and a touch of bling in the form of a chunky gold chain can elevate the look.
- The Finishing Touch: A statement hat. It could be a fedora in a darker shade of pink or a beret in a classic brown – something that adds a little vintage elegance.
- Accessories: To really bring out that ballerina feel, don a chunky chain necklace, a classic gold watch, and maybe some delicate stud earrings. And for those colder days, grab a cosy camel-coloured blanket scarf!

Other Colourful Choices
But pink isn't the only colour that sings out to me this season! Here are a couple more tutu looks to inspire your inner fashionista:
Burnt Orange: Autumnal Elegance
- A fiery burnt orange tutu paired with a dark grey roll neck sweater creates an incredibly sophisticated silhouette.
- For footwear, go for classic Chelsea boots, either black or brown, for that effortless touch.
- A long, black coat with a cosy, woolly lining is ideal for warmth, and you can tie it loosely for an extra touch of nonchalant chic.
- A woven bag with tassels and a chain adds a unique finishing touch to this ensemble.
Burgundy: A Royal Ballerina
- A rich burgundy tutu, paired with a silk blouse or a simple, crisp white t-shirt.
- Throw on a vintage blazer, a timeless black coat, or a luxuriously soft, charcoal knitted cardigan.
- For footwear, burgundy or black heels (block heel or kitten heel for ultimate comfort) would complete this regal look.
- This outfit is ideal for an evening at the theatre! Think ballet-inspired chic at its finest.
Creating Your Own Look
The key to rocking your own autumn tutu style? It's all about finding what feels you.
Experimentation is key! Try layering your favourite autumn knits over a simple tutu, or experiment with accessories like berets, headbands, or colourful tights. Don't be afraid to play with different styles until you discover what looks best!

What I love most about living in Melton Mowbray is the beautiful surrounding countryside. We have some incredible walks around the local fields, near the river, or at the stunning reservoir.
