Hey everyone, it's Emma here! 🍂 Autumn has officially arrived, and while I adore summer for its sunny vibes and dancing in the park, there's something about autumn that just makes my heart flutter - maybe it's the beautiful colours, the cozy vibes, or the promise of a new season. This month, I'm super excited to share my top tips on how to rock autumn ballet style here in Barrow-in-Furness! Let's dive into a world of tutu-tastic fashion inspired by this beautiful season. 💖
The Autumnal Tutu
So, first things first – how do we make tutus autumnal? The key lies in embracing warm, earthy tones, and a dash of that autumnal glam. Imagine swirling a classic tutu in a rust-red shade or a burnt orange for that warm, cosy feel. I also adore a dark forest green – it screams sophisticated autumnal vibes, like the foliage at its most glorious. But hey, let's not forget about my fave – pink! For an unexpected twist, think about pairing a deep berry pink or even a dusky rose tutu with earthy browns and metallic accents – pure magic! ✨
Layering It Up: From Ballet to the Streets
One of the best things about autumn fashion is layering! Let’s create a versatile ballet look that can go from dance class to the bustling streets of Barrow-in-Furness! Start with your trusty tutu, in a colour of your choice – I'm going to use the deep forest green tutu for my outfit inspo! Layer a cosy knit cardigan, preferably in a contrasting colour like a rich cream or warm caramel. Add a pair of warm, black ballet flats – these are essential for Barrow's chilly mornings, and they keep your feet toasty for ballet practice. Top it off with a super-chic trench coat (a favourite of mine!) – think beige or black, and let it gently skim over your outfit for a sophisticated touch. To add a personal touch, layer on some jewellery - a delicate silver chain, a chunky, statement ring, and some vintage-inspired earrings are just the ticket. And remember: Never forget the essentials: a sleek ballet bun and some warm tights are crucial!
Tutu-licious Options for Your Ballet Class
When it comes to ballet classes, my tutu game goes a bit wild. It's about blending tradition with modern flair and adding that splash of personal style. First, embrace classic styles – there’s nothing like a beautiful, classic white tutu, or maybe one in black to feel elegant. These look absolutely amazing paired with an expressive red or navy leotard. Adding a statement head scarf with a colour complementing the leotard creates a wonderfully chic look. However, if you want to add a hint of autumn, opt for a deep red tutu and leotard. These always look fierce!
Ballet Style at Barrow’s Theatre Royal
Barrow-in-Furness is brimming with art and culture – and Theatre Royal is the ultimate venue for embracing ballet's beauty. It’s a stunning, historic venue perfect for dressing up. This is my go-to location for an excuse to go all out – think long-sleeved tulle dresses paired with luxurious velvet jackets for that elegant, modern feel. Adding a pair of dramatic earrings with an extra sparkle is essential. Finish off the look with some chic black stilettos, and you'll be ready to strut the Theatre Royal in a style that's sure to turn heads!
Autumn Walks in The Furness Coast:
There's something undeniably magical about Barrow-in-Furness during autumn. When it's crisp and fresh outside, I like to go on a brisk walk along the Furness Coast! For these chilly coastal adventures, I love a chic and practical outfit: a lightweight jumper with a chunky knit that can withstand the breeze. And the star of the show? A gorgeous long pleated skirt, perfect for catching the wind and looking fashion-forward. And as I love to keep things comfortable (and warm!), my go-to footwear choice is a pair of stylish walking boots - both comfy and cool!
Fashion Tips for the Perfect Autumnal Outfit:
Now that we've covered a few of my fave styles for the season, here are a few tips to help you nail the perfect autumnal ballet look:
- Embracing Colour: Autumn colours are all about rich hues - deep browns, mustard yellows, rusty reds, and fiery oranges. Think about using these shades in your leotards, tights, and accessories, such as headbands and scarves.
- Playing with Textures: A good layering game is all about mixing textures. Think about fluffy knit cardigans, silky satin camisoles, and those luxurious velvet jackets.
- Add a Little Shine: Autumn calls for a hint of shimmer – think glitter tights, a sparkly head scarf, a bejewelled belt, or even a few dazzling earrings.
- Focus on Accessories: Accessories can take any outfit to the next level, so think about experimenting with those bold belts, chunky chains, oversized scarves, and statement hats.
Remember, be your own unique ballerina! Autumn style is about making a statement, finding the outfits that express your personality, and showing the world what you’ve got! So, embrace the changing season, explore your creative side, and have fun with it!
