Hey loves! Emma here, your local ballet-obsessed blogger, back with another fashion fix. Autumn is officially here, and with its crisp air and golden hues comes the perfect excuse to get cosy in our favourite autumnal colours. But why settle for just cosy? This season, we're adding a touch of whimsy and glamour with a twist of ballet inspired tutu fashion!
Aylesbury, with its charming streets and beautiful parks, is the perfect backdrop for embracing this trend. We're going to explore how you can weave this style into your autumn wardrobe and bring some twirling elegance to your daily life, from morning errands to cosy evenings out.
Tutu Magic in the Real World
Think about it: a tutu's delicate, layered fabric brings an element of romanticism and drama that screams autumn vibes. But ditch the typical ballerina white and embrace the richness of autumn’s palette. Deep reds, fiery oranges, and luxurious browns are perfect for making your tutu the focal point of any outfit.
From Studio to Street:
Tutu Skirt Magic: I'm a firm believer that you don't need a full-blown tutu for this trend to shine. Think tutu skirts – they are the easiest way to incorporate the airy, flowing style without feeling too over the top. Pair a deep burgundy tutu skirt with a cosy cashmere sweater and ankle boots for a stunning autumnal ensemble.
The Tutu-Top Pairing: Don't be afraid to get bold! Try layering a black velvet top under a dusty rose tutu skirt, paired with tights and knee-high boots for a daring and glamorous look that will make heads turn in Aylesbury’s bustling market square.
Tutu As A Layer: I love layering a blush pink tutu over a high-waisted floral dress or a pair of black trousers for a chic, ethereal touch. The delicate layers create a visually interesting silhouette, and the subtle pink adds a touch of sweetness to any outfit.
The Power of Accessories
The right accessories can take your tutu look to the next level.
- Berets: A staple in my autumn wardrobe, they add a touch of Parisian chic. Choose a deep burgundy or rich green to complement your tutu.
- Chokers: Play with textures! I adore velvet chokers, they add an edge of vintage glamour that contrasts beautifully with a tutu’s delicate fabrics.
- Oversized Knitwear: The perfect autumn pairing! A chunky cable-knit sweater worn over a tutu skirt or tutu top gives a layered and warm look perfect for chillier evenings.
- Satin Ballerina Flats: Add a touch of understated elegance. These shoes can make any outfit feel refined and graceful. Opt for a deep forest green or plum colour for that autumnal twist.
A Twirling Tour of Aylesbury:
- The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre: Immerse yourself in the magical world of childhood literature, perfectly fitting with the tutu’s whimsical charm. Pair your tutu skirt with a chunky knit and ankle boots for a playful and stylish look.
- Aylesbury Waterside Theatre: Treat yourself to a night of drama and dance with a touch of elegance. A black velvet top with a burgundy tutu skirt and knee-high boots is an outfit fit for a night out.
- The Bucks Free Press: “Bucks” are in the Detail! Pop into the Aylesbury Museum and discover the local heritage of this charming town. Layer a tulle skirt over a simple white top and tie a chic headscarf for a unique look inspired by our ballet roots.
Remember…
Embrace the fun of it! There are no rules in fashion, and even less so with tutu-inspired looks. This season, play with textures, colours, and styles, experiment with new combinations, and above all, have fun expressing your individuality!
