Hey fashionistas, it’s Emma here! I'm a total ballet fanatic and this time of year, well, it’s like my inner prima ballerina steps onto the scene! I absolutely love seeing how autumn vibes get intertwined with tutus, tights and the most stunning shades of pinks – which is basically my aesthetic! 💅
Slough's a bit of a hidden gem for autumn fashion inspo, and I'm here to share some of the best looks for this year. 🍂🍁
Slough: A Tutu Wonderland
Think vibrant leaf colours, a bit of rustic charm and just the right amount of London's energy spilling over. Honestly, there's a real vibe of the chic and creative - so if you're not into the big city crowds and wanna get your tutus out, Slough is definitely where you need to be this autumn.
Autumnal Shades and Tones
Right, first things first: Colour! Let's talk those lovely autumnal shades! I love using a touch of burnt orange and burgundy, as they feel so elegant and chic. And let's not forget the golden yellows and browns! You can go for a full on dramatic look by wearing a bright mustard coloured top or shirt with a pair of classic black tights and a long burgundy tutu skirt - perfect for strolling along the canal! ✨
A Tutu For Every Mood
For the tutu itself, there's such a wide variety! We can't leave out those iconic classic tulle tutus, and those fluffy chiffon numbers! This year, I'm going for a slightly more modern take - think layers, textured fabrics and even tulle capes. I just adore the whole 'fierce ballerina with an edgy twist’ vibe! And for a touch of sparkle, a silver tutu under an orange cardigan or jumper is always a good idea!
Accessorize Like a Pro!
Now let's talk about accessories! Honestly, the sky's the limit - a bit of lace, some leather boots, a simple headband – it's all about how you make it your own!
For an extra touch of ballerina-chic, here are some killer combos:
- Bold Tights: Black opaque tights with a lace edge – pure drama. They work fabulously with almost any tutu!
- Statement Boots: I'm loving the Chelsea boot vibe - the little bit of slouchiness and practicality, but they are also seriously elegant and comfy. Look for some that have a good, thick chunky heel - perfect for those cobblestone walks around the old town.
- Jewelry and Headbands: Simple, understated jewellery lets your tutu shine. A pearl necklace, delicate silver earrings, or a beaded headband with a ballerina hair bun - yes please!
The Perfect Autumnal Day Out in Slough
- Start at The Curve: Catch a film and get those endorphins flowing!
- The Thames Valley Parkway: Walk, run, cycle - it’s all about getting that autumn air in your lungs! It's so peaceful with the colourful leaves and fresh breeze - absolutely perfect for some 'tutu-inspired' fashion shots.
- Lunchtime at the Old Town: Honestly, there are so many amazing independent cafes and eateries in Slough's Old Town - find a cute spot and grab a bite while people watching!
Outfit Ideas: 5 Looks You Need to Try!
Let's put all this inspiration into action! Here are 5 tutu fashion outfit ideas for your autumn in Slough:
- The Ballet Chic: Classic black tulle tutu, a long-sleeved beige or blush-toned shirt tucked in, chunky heeled Chelsea boots, simple silver earrings, a chunky knitted scarf and some berry red lipstick - I swear, you’ll turn heads!
- The Downtown Darling: A medium-length chiffon tutu in a shade of dusty pink or lilac, a vintage black knitted jumper tucked in, chunky heeled boots or loafers (a bit of slouch is chic!), a black beret, a leather backpack - absolutely flawless.
- The Cozy Comfort: Think cozy and cute - a bright mustard yellow sweater, a black tulle tutu with a fluffy lace overlay, ankle boots (a lace-up is ideal), black tights and a headband. A cute touch for this look is to throw in some faux fur – either as a pashmina scarf or even as a cute clutch bag.
- The Colourful Character: Let your creativity flow - think statement-making fabrics like velvet, tulle or chiffon - get a mix of colours and textures happening and add a thick woolly scarf to match! This is the look where your makeup needs to be fun - let’s have bold, dramatic colours!
- The Statement Piece: Find that 'it' piece – a black sequin top, a chunky statement necklace, a fabulous pair of leather gloves - whatever speaks to your ‘inner ballerina’. Now, make that piece the star of your outfit and layer around it - with a midi tutu, simple top and black tights.
