2022 Autumn and Fall time Tutu and Ballet Fashion in Yeovil

Hey lovely dancers and fashionistas! Emma here, back with another blog post, this time focusing on a topic near and dear to my heart: tutu fashion in the fall! Autumn is such a beautiful time of year here in Yeovil. The crisp air, the vibrant leaves changing colours, and a general sense of coziness all make me want to snuggle up in my favourite oversized jumper and sip on a pumpkin spiced latte. But of course, we can't forget about our love for ballet and looking stylish while we're at it, right?

So how do we combine this beautiful season with our passion for tutus? I've got you covered! Here's your ultimate guide to incorporating tutu fashion into your autumn wardrobe in Yeovil:

Autumn screams with shades of fiery red, rich gold, and deep emerald. This is the perfect opportunity to experiment with colours beyond the usual pink and black (although I do love those classic combinations!)

Let's start with the ultimate autumnal colour: Burgundy. This gorgeous shade can really elevate your look. Try a burgundy tutu skirt for a statement piece. Pair it with a crisp white top for a contrast or go all out with a luxurious burgundy turtleneck sweater for a cozy vibe. A soft burgundy sweater layered with a tutu is so versatile and perfect for the fall!

Brown is another versatile colour. It's super chic and can transition seamlessly from day to night. A brown velvet or satin tutu is an eye-catching piece and can be dressed up with a sparkling top and heels or kept casual with a t-shirt and sneakers. Remember, you can also add a splash of brown to your usual looks with brown accessories – think boots, belts, and even berets!

Yellow is making a big comeback this fall, and for good reason! It adds a warm and vibrant touch to any outfit. Go for a pale yellow tulle skirt with a cosy knit, or channel the sunshine in a bright yellow leotard underneath a knit cardigan. For a subtle hint of sunshine, try adding a pop of yellow with a bag or scarf!

As the weather gets colder, we want to add texture to our outfits. Tulle is such a fun fabric to work with, but when the temperature drops, we need to think of other options. Velvet is a favourite for the season. It's luxurious, cozy, and perfect for evening wear. Opt for a velvet tutu or look for a skirt with velvet details. Velvet makes such a luxurious autumn statement!

Another fabric we see popping up is suede. Think about a suede midi skirt with a statement tulle overlay for that chic and cool vibe. This one will look stunning with a chunky knit sweater, a simple black t-shirt, or a fitted black top.

Wool is a great choice when we’re craving cosy, and let’s face it, we are! Cashmere and Merino wool knitwear are particularly amazing, perfect for adding a layer of warmth underneath our tutus. And speaking of warm layers…

Here's the trick to rocking tutu fashion in the fall: layering! This is where the magic happens. Embrace the opportunity to add multiple textures and colours.

Start with your tutu as the base. You can layer a fitted long-sleeved top over it for a sophisticated look, or try a classic white or black oversized knit for a casual vibe. Add a cosy knit cardigan for a splash of colour, and accessorize with a beret for a chic autumn touch.

Don't forget the importance of tights. Tights add warmth and can complement your overall look. Black tights are always a good choice, but don't be afraid to experiment with other colours, textures, and even patterned tights for a more unique style. I particularly love those beautiful patterned ones with the intricate details that make it look almost like artwork.

If you're a ballet enthusiast like me, you already know that Yeovil is an amazing place to embrace this look. Here are some local stores you might like to visit:

• Style Avenue: You can find all the ballet essentials for creating stunning tutu outfits.
• The Old Bookshop & More: This store has fantastic accessories for styling up your tutu outfits. From chunky boots to colourful scarves, this store has something for every style.
• Little Things Boutique: Perfect for adding the feminine touches to your look, from jewelry and scarves to bags and shoes.

And of course, don't forget charity shops and online marketplaces like eBay or Depop for those amazing vintage treasures to style your tutu outfits! You can find amazing pre-loved tutus and dancewear here for a steal.

Ready for some more statement looks? Here are some ideas for a more daring approach to tutu fashion this fall:

• The layered maxi: Take a maxi skirt (preferably velvet) and layer it over your tutu for a glamorous fall look.
• Statement footwear: Let your footwear make a statement! Pairing chunky boots with a tutu creates an amazing contrast in textures.
• Statement outerwear: Think trench coats, oversized bombers, or even a sleek leather jacket to complement your tutu outfits for that added edge.

And remember, the most important ingredient in any outfit? Confidence!

Whether you opt for a simple tutu skirt or a bold layered look, wear your outfits with confidence. You’ll find that your personal style, just like the falling leaves, comes to life in such beautiful ways when you find your favourite combinations.
