Hey darlings! It’s Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast and lover of all things twirly! Autumn has officially arrived in Uxbridge, bringing with it those gorgeous warm hues and crisp, cool air that just beg for a little ballerina flair. So, with the leaves starting to fall and the temperature dropping, I’m ditching the summery styles and embracing the cosy-yet-chic tutu-infused fashion that autumn calls for. Let's delve into how we can channel that iconic autumnal vibe into our own unique ballet-inspired looks!
A Colour Palette for Autumnal Twirling:
First things first, let's talk colour! While vibrant pops of summer are delightful, autumn is all about the richness of nature’s palette. Think of deep crimson reds, amber golds, warm terracotta oranges, and that stunning ochre yellow. You can go for head-to-toe colour in luxurious velvets, satin, and faux fur, or make a statement with a pops of colour here and there, for example, a bright, mustard-coloured knitted cardigan over a simple black tutu, paired with chic black ballet flats or ankle boots.
Tutu Trends That Embrace the Season:
Gone are the days of simple, predictable tutus! Autumn welcomes some exciting twists that embrace the spirit of the season:
1. The Statement Layering: Embrace those oversized chunky knits! Pair your favourite tutu (whether it's a classic tulle or a romantic chiffon creation) with a slouchy, cosy cardigan or sweater for a unique blend of chic and comfy. It’s about juxtaposing textures – a flowy tutu layered with chunky knit? Yes please!
2. The Embrace of Velvets and Faux Fur: For the ultimate autumnal luxe, velvet is your go-to. A rich burgundy velvet bomber jacket, a plush velvet skirt, or even a simple velvet ribbon as a statement belt – these all elevate your tutu look instantly. Faux fur adds an equally plush and luxurious touch to your ensemble. A cute faux fur collar on a simple black sweater or a full-length faux fur jacket with your tutu underneath will ensure you look fabulous at a café in the town centre!
3. The Rise of the Boots: Ballet flats still have a place, especially paired with a cute, knee-length tulle tutu. But autumn welcomes the rise of the ankle boot! Opt for sleek black leather boots with a bit of a chunky heel for a touch of edginess, or find some knee-high suede boots for a luxurious and cosy touch. I particularly adore the brown-coloured ones as it reflects the earthiness of autumn so perfectly!
4. The Perfect Pumpkin: Yes, I'm talking about adding that adorable pumpkin touch to your autumn looks! This can be achieved with small pumpkin details on your earrings or your handbag, or you can get a quirky knitted jumper or top that is inspired by the squash shape and colour. If you feel particularly adventurous, there's always the classic, yet still so chic, pumpkin-shaped tote bag!
