2022 Autumn and Fall time Tutu and Ballet Fashion in Prestwich

Hey everyone! Emma here, back with another blog post. As the leaves turn golden and the air crisps up, my ballet-loving heart starts to beat a little faster for autumn. It's the perfect time to layer up those beautiful fabrics and explore the wonderful world of tutu fashion, which just so happens to be my absolute favourite. So, for all my fellow ballet enthusiasts in Prestwich and beyond, let's dive into some chic and cosy autumnal tutu style inspiration!

Don't even think for a second that your precious tutus should be relegated to the back of your wardrobe just because the weather's turning colder! In fact, this is when they truly shine! Think of the amazing layers you can create. Think of those stunning contrast fabrics! Autumn is a chance to experiment and let your inner fashionista run wild.

Let's start with a key word: layers. Autumn is all about layering up. That silky, classic tutu fabric provides the perfect foundation. Then, play with texture by adding a chinchilla-like fluffy cardigan or a vintage cashmere shawl. You can layer a long-sleeved top in a rich colour like burgundy or emerald green underneath your tutu to add another dimension. Don't forget leg warmers! These are your autumnal ballet best friends, adding warmth and chic. Opt for those slightly sparkly knit leg warmers, perfect for that extra touch of glamour!

For me, autumn and velvet are inseparable. The lushness and warmth of this fabric make it perfect for tutu-inspired looks. Try a deep burgundy or sapphire blue velvet jacket to bring a touch of regal elegance. Imagine it with a classic pink tutu, the kind you dream of pirouetting in. Add a delicate ballet choker and a pair of dainty ballerina flats to complete the picture.

Autumn always calls for a touch of vintage flair. Why not channel your inner Victorian ballerina with a lace overlay? You could go for a white cotton lace blouse worn over your tutu and paired with knee-high black boots. This style combines romantic femininity with a touch of rugged charm. If you're looking for a little colour, try a mustard yellow lace blouse. It's just the perfect pop for a touch of warmth and sunshine on those chilly days.

Okay, this one’s just personal. But you already know how much I adore pink, and burgundy is simply the ultimate autumn shade. This dynamic duo looks incredible when paired with a classic tutu. Picture a soft pink tulle tutu layered over a burgundy velvet top or a high-necked burgundy lace blouse. I find this combination to be flattering, timeless, and effortlessly chic.

Just because it's autumn doesn't mean you can't embrace bold prints. Tutus are the perfect canvas for playful designs. Look for floral prints with earthy tones, or maybe a simple geometric design on a contrasting background. If you’re feeling extra daring, try a polka-dot or animal print. For those not quite ready to fully commit to the full print effect, consider pairing a printed tutu with a plain top and a statement accessory.

No autumnal ballet outfit is complete without the perfect finishing touches!

• The Statement Headpiece: Embrace autumn with a chic headband made from a fabric such as faux leather or a deep burgundy velvet ribbon. For those who aren’t afraid to stand out, try a statement feather headband or even a crown made of branches and leaves! (Totally channeling the wood fairy vibes here).

• The Handbag: Think structured, stylish, and not too large. A sleek black clutch with a chain strap can elevate your tutu look. A vintage brown leather handbag with a unique clasp adds that classic touch. For a more contemporary twist, a canvas bag with bold typography would fit the trend of everyday wear.

• Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! Of course, ballet flats are a classic go-to. Consider pairing a tutu with chunky, platform brogues for an interesting mix of styles. Another classic option is ankle boots, worn with leggings underneath your tutu. If it's too cold for bare legs, pair your tutu with black leggings and ankle boots, choosing black with a stylish twist like a pointed toe, block heel, or unique detail.

Now, for all of you lovely people in Prestwich who want to make these ideas a reality, let's talk local! There are so many amazing spots in our area where you can find inspiration for your autumnal tutu fashion:

Embrace the unique vibe! Show off your love of dance in your everyday life and inspire those around you with your unique sense of style.
