Hey gorgeous ballet lovers! It's Emma here, and autumn is definitely in the air – the leaves are changing colour, the crisp mornings are here, and I'm already craving cosy sweaters and warm, spiced lattes. But you know what else screams autumn to me? Tutus! 🍂 I know what you're thinking, “Emma, tutus are for summer and spring,” but trust me on this one.
This autumn, I’m dreaming of twirling around in soft hues and gorgeous textures inspired by the changing season. Let's take a peek at what's hot for Tutu Fashion in Ashton, your ultimate guide to looking and feeling incredible this autumn.
Ashton: The Ballet Hub of the North West
First things first, let's talk about Ashton. As a ballet girl, Ashton holds a special place in my heart – it’s home to some incredible studios and a real community spirit when it comes to dance. It’s the perfect spot to unleash your inner ballerina!
Autumnal Palette:
Think about the colours that inspire you this autumn – those gorgeous rusty browns, golden yellows, deep reds and oranges that dominate the leaves. For a pop of vibrancy, throw in a touch of deep plum, or even a little sapphire blue – these shades perfectly capture the drama and mystique of the autumn season.
Tutus with a Twist:
Forget your typical pale pinks and bright whites - this season is about making a statement with some statement tutus!
Go for the Golden Glow: Think shimmering gold tutus with elegant ruffles. The warmth of the golden colour is so on point for autumn and is a wonderful way to bring some festive vibes to your outfit.
Burnt Orange Delights: The fiery hues of a burnt orange tutu, either short or longer length, look breathtaking against autumnal backgrounds. Team it with a rich brown sweater and tights for a sophisticated look, or a casual T-shirt and boots for an everyday, sporty edge.
Purple Prose: Darker shades of purple – think amethyst and plum – can make an utterly chic statement. Add a statement velvet jacket to bring the richness to life, and a little glitter in your makeup for extra festive fun!
Satin Dreams: Move away from tulle - soft satins are taking centre stage this season. The flow and shine of a satin tutu will have you twirling all the way to the nearest coffee shop.
Styling your Tutu: Autumn Edition:
Tutus aren't just for the stage, they're totally versatile for your everyday wardrobe.
For a Chill Afternoon in Ashton: Throw a comfy chunky knit over a simple white tee, layered under a shorter tutu in a deep orange shade. Add a pair of knee-high boots and a warm beanie – ready to enjoy a pumpkin latte by the canal.
Elegant Evenings: The theatre is calling! Let your tutu do the talking – choose one in a jewel tone or a sophisticated satin, pair it with a classy black top and blazer, add heels (a low heel or platforms look best), and some sleek statement jewelry. You’ll be the most fabulous ballerina at the ballet.
Keep it Casual: Let your tutu be the main attraction. Pair it with a graphic tee for a sporty touch. Add a trendy bomber jacket, chunky trainers, and a bold baseball cap for a streetwear vibe that will have heads turning.
Don’t forget:
The Perfect Tights: Tights are key when it comes to tutu styling. Black is always classic, but explore shades of navy, burgundy, and even patterned tights for some extra personality.
Shoes: Heels are the traditional ballet shoe of choice for casual wear. Choose block heels for comfort, platforms for a trendy statement, and pointy toes for a touch of classic elegance. If heels are a little much, ankle boots are a wonderful alternative, adding a touch of edginess to your ensemble.
And finally:
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles, colors and textures. Have fun with it, and let your personality shine!
I'm all about encouraging my fellow dancers to be confident and embrace their inner ballerina. Tutu fashion is all about feeling comfortable in your own skin and making a statement with your love for dance. So grab that tutu and twirl into autumn!
