Hey gorgeous dancers and fashionistas! Emma here, ready to inject some autumnal flair into your tutu wardrobe. As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, there's no reason to let our love for all things tutu fade! This autumn, Bishop Auckland is the perfect place to embrace those vibrant, earthy hues and pair them with our favourite tutus for a truly stunning and stylish look. Let's delve into the wonderful world of tutu fashion, inspired by the season's golden hues and falling leaves! 🍁
A Touch of Autumn Magic:
There's something so special about the changing season – the air gets invigorated, the world gets a little quieter, and the palette transforms into an exquisite blend of golds, browns, reds and deep, vibrant purples. It's a season that inspires, and for me, that inspiration flows right into my tutu wardrobe!
Autumn is the perfect time to break out the velvet tutus – think rich burgundies, emerald greens, and deep ochre hues. Paired with a simple, soft, black turtleneck or a cozy knitted sweater, these tutus take on a whole new level of elegance, perfect for those chilly evenings or walks around Bishop Auckland's historic market square. Imagine twirling amongst the vibrant leaves and cobblestone streets!
For those who adore the delicate beauty of the falling leaves, I highly recommend the tutu layering trend. Think a whisper-thin silk tutu in a subtle gold tone, peeking out from beneath a voluminous, longer tutu in a dark, almost-black shade of green or burgundy. Add some sparkle with gold-toned jewellery and you're good to go for a fancy evening at a local pub or cafe.
Embrace the Layers, Embrace the Comfort:
While I adore the artistry of a single-layered, full-bodied tutu, autumn calls for embracing the cozy comfort of layers. Let's think of this not as a limitation, but as a challenge to play with texture and colour.
Start with a base layer that can take on the season's coolness. A pair of leggings in a deep burgundy or brown shade creates the perfect backdrop for a contrasting tutu in a softer pink or a vibrant mustard yellow. Don't be afraid to mix and match! Remember, texture matters – a smooth, satiny tutu against the textured knit of leggings creates a unique, intriguing contrast.
Accessorize for Autumn Glamour:
For me, the most magical thing about tutu fashion is the endless possibility of accessorizing. Think about adding a cosy knitted scarf in a complementary colour – maybe a shade of rust to match a vibrant brown tutu.
Adding a stylish fedora hat to a look is also a great way to elevate your outfit, and a great option if you're braving those windy, crisp autumn days. Pair a wide-brimmed, burgundy fedora with a full-skirted tulle tutu in a pale lavender colour. Or, go for a more practical yet stylish look by adding a classic black beanie to a sleek black tutu and leather jacket – a perfect mix of elegant and edgy.
Embrace the Local Charm of Bishop Auckland:
Speaking of Bishop Auckland, what a fabulous town for tutu fashion! I find the historical buildings and cobbled streets so inspiring.
- The Bishop Auckland Market: is a must-visit for all fashion lovers, especially around autumn! It's where you can find some truly unique vintage treasures and upcycled items, perfect for finding those statement pieces for your tutu look. Think about transforming a vintage dress or a classic shirt into a top for your next tutu outing!
- Auckland Castle: For me, the castle is the quintessential backdrop for a dramatic autumn tutu shoot. The beauty of its history blends perfectly with the romanticism of a swirling, soft-coloured tulle tutu! Picture it - you, the castle walls, a fallen leaf floating in the air, captured by the setting sun.
- The Bowes Museum: It's a treasure trove of art and culture, perfect for seeking inspiration for your tutu fashion choices. Let yourself be inspired by the colour palettes and details within its walls - maybe find a shade of purple in the tapestry for your next tutu, or be moved by a striking artwork and bring it to life with your personal style!
A Tutu Fashion Blogger's Autumn Mantra:
Remember, there are no rules in tutu fashion – only your personal creativity! So have fun with it! Mix, match, and experiment until you create a look that truly reflects your inner dancer and your love for this magical season.
Stay tuned for more autumn tutu adventures from yours truly,
