Hey everyone! Emma here, your resident ballet-loving fashionista, and as the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their colourful descent, I'm feeling a strong pull towards a certain kind of autumnal style. Let's talk tutu fashion, but with a distinctly Tunbridge Wells twist!
This beautiful town has a unique charm, a blend of Victorian elegance and modern-day bustle. It's a place that inspires, and when it comes to fashion, it whispers of timeless pieces, soft hues, and a touch of vintage whimsy. But what does that look like for a ballerina in the fall? Well, grab your favourite cuppa and let's dive in!
Pink Power: Embracing Autumnal Hues
You know me, pink is my go-to. But as the season changes, I'm not afraid to inject some deeper shades into my pink palette. Dusty rose, blush, mauve, and even a touch of cherry red are all perfect ways to complement the earthy browns and golds of fall.
Think beyond the usual ballet leotard, here's my top tutu-inspired autumnal style advice:
- Layering with Ballet: The Perfect Harmony
Imagine this: a soft pink ballet skirt peeking out from under a cosy cable-knit jumper. Add some sheer tights in a warm berry tone, and you've got a look that's both effortlessly stylish and uniquely autumnal.
Tunbridge Wells Spot: *Pop into the gorgeous *The Knitter's Cottage on Church Road and get that perfect knitwear piece that can complement any ballerina look.
- Playful Textures & Embellishments:
It’s time to ditch the plain cotton leotard! Autumn is about bringing out texture, so think silk, velvet, lace, or even some delicate sequin detailing for a touch of glam. A velvet leotard layered with a sheer mesh skirt, perhaps in a vibrant maroon hue, is a great example!
Tunbridge Wells Spot: *For that perfect ballerina inspired statement piece, check out *The Silk Thread on Camden Road. They've got exquisite silk tops, scarves, and even some pretty brooches that would look great with your ballet outfits!
- Accessorize Like a Ballerina
The details are where your personal style truly shines through! For a classic ballerina vibe, consider a delicate chain necklace with a dainty ballet-themed pendant.
Tunbridge Wells Spot: *Find stunning jewellery with a unique touch at *Silver Linings on Calverley Road, they even have ballerina inspired pieces.
- The Tutu Reimagined: A Modern Take
Don't be afraid to think outside the box with tutus. They're no longer just for the stage! A midi length tulle skirt with a stylish fitted top, perhaps a classic black polo or a chic turtleneck, creates an elegant, on-trend ensemble.
Tunbridge Wells Spot: *For that classic black polo or any other gorgeous wardrobe staples head to the lovely *Mint Velvet in the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre.
Tunbridge Wells Ballet Inspirations:
Royal Tunbridge Wells Ballet Club: A perfect place to witness the beauty of ballet live! They host classes and performances, showcasing the grace and strength of ballet throughout the season. Find them on Calverley Road!
The Trinity Theatre: Check out their ballet-inspired dance events! The venue offers a wide variety of performing arts, often showcasing talent from local dancers, including ballet classes!
Explore The Pantiles: Strolling through the iconic Pantiles with a light pink tutu and a warm scarf will truly give you that effortless autumnal style, don't forget a latte to sip along the way!
