Hey beautifuls! Emma here, and as the leaves start turning a vibrant array of reds, oranges, and yellows, I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement for autumn. It’s time to ditch those bright summer hues and embrace the rich, warm palette of autumn. And for a tutu-obsessed girl like me, that means it’s time to experiment with new autumnal looks, taking my beloved tutu fashion to a whole new level!
Carlisle, my beautiful home city, is a place that's rich with history, charming pubs, and beautiful landscapes, all perfect backdrops for showcasing those autumnal tutu looks. So, grab a cuppa, settle in, and let's dive into the tutu-tastic world of autumn fashion in Carlisle!
A Touch of Autumn Romance: Tutu-fied Tartan
Autumn and tartan go together like tea and biscuits – an undeniable classic. And I'm loving the way you can seamlessly incorporate this pattern into tutu fashion. For a day exploring the charming cobbled streets of Carlisle, try a short, playful tutu in a warm tartan print (think red and burgundy). Pair it with a cozy, fitted turtleneck sweater in a cream or olive green. I'm thinking about my classic black tights (you can’t beat them for their versatility!), some ankle boots with a chunky heel, and a beret for a hint of Parisian chic.
To make it even more autumnal, you can add a smattering of berries and maple leaves in your hair. You’re all set to wander through the markets, sip hot chocolate, and soak up the magic of autumn in Carlisle!
Cinematic Chic: Velvet and Lace
Velvet is synonymous with autumn; it's opulent, luxurious, and brings instant elegance to any outfit. And in Carlisle, where the city comes alive with beautiful old architecture, you’ve got the perfect backdrop for showcasing that touch of velvet glamour. I’m loving the idea of a long, romantic tulle tutu (either in a deep emerald or blush pink – so dreamy!) paired with a black velvet bodice.
Accessorise with a delicate lace shawl, sleek black heels, and a beaded choker necklace for a dash of vintage glamour. This outfit is practically begging for a photoshoot around the castle!
Coffee & Cake Elegance: Ballerina Inspired Layering
No autumn day is complete without a delicious coffee and cake treat! And I think the ultimate Carlisle tutu look is something that effortlessly takes you from afternoon coffee to evening drinks – that's where layering comes in.
Imagine a classic ivory tutu worn with a loose fitting oversized sweater in a rich burgundy or dark olive. To finish off this cosy look, tuck a silky navy blue scarf into the sweater for a pop of colour and some warmth around your neck. You can't forget stylish flats to complement the overall effortless elegance. A small clutch bag for your essentials and some elegant gold earrings complete the look. You'll be a vision of sophistication while you sip your pumpkin spiced latte and enjoy your cake – perfect for a day of shopping on the High Street!
Sunset Splendor: Golden Tones & Bold Red Lips
The autumn sunsets in Carlisle are breathtaking. So when it's time to enjoy those mesmerizing hues, let your tutu style mirror the fiery colors of the sky! Think about a bronze or mustard yellow tutu. Pair it with a black leather jacket for a modern twist. To amp up the autumnal drama, add a pair of sleek ankle boots in a deep shade of red and a bold, blood red lip.
Complete the look with a statement bronze-tone necklace. You’ll turn heads while enjoying those spectacular Carlisle sunsets, all with your own unique take on autumn fashion!
