Hey everyone! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballet dancer with a serious love for tutus, autumnal hues and all things pretty! Autumn is upon us, which means it's officially time to switch out our summery pastels and embrace the warmer, earthier colours of the season. This year, I'm super excited to see how tutu fashion is going to take on a whole new vibe with the arrival of the golden leaves, crisp air and everything cozy.
Let's be honest, I live for tutus! But they're not just for the dance studio, guys. They can totally rock an autumnal look – think statement pieces, a touch of ballerina chic, and the perfect blend of sweetness and sass. I'm gonna walk you through some of my favourite tutu styles and how to make them work for our amazing Carshalton autumn. Let's get this fashion fiesta going!
Taking Tutu Trends to the Streets of Carshalton
Now, Carshalton is all about a lovely, village vibe – cute shops, picturesque streets and even a castle! The perfect backdrop for your tutu outfit, right? This season, let's be bold and go for some statement colours. Think rust, burnt orange, burgundy and deep teal – shades that scream autumnal elegance!
Tutu Combinations to Try:
The “Gatsby Glam” Tutu Look: This one is all about sleek and sophisticated with a touch of retro flair. Think a shimmering black or navy tulle tutu (maybe a little longer and full!) teamed with a velvet blouse in a jewel tone (emerald green or deep ruby, anyone?). Add some killer black heels, and a little gold jewellery for that Gatsby vibe. You'll be a dazzling vision, ready to conquer any Carshalton vintage fair.
The "Cozy and Chic" Tutu Look: This one's for those chilled-out Carshalton Sunday mornings. Grab a super comfy, slightly longer tutu (think a vintage dancewear feel) in a warm blush or camel hue. Pair it with a chunky knitted sweater (a cashmere or wool blend will give it a real autumn feel!), some suede ankle boots, and a cute beanie for that oh-so-stylish layered look. A soft brown or caramel-coloured tote bag finishes off this effortlessly cool ensemble.
The “Walk in the Park” Tutu Look: For those autumnal Carshalton walks with the girls (or your handsome man!) I’m all about casual chic. Go for a soft, airy tutu in pale rose or lavender and style it with a cosy, oversized cable knit cardigan (this one’s a must for chilly evenings). Denim or corduroy pants (just think vintage!) are the perfect contrast to the light tulle, and a pair of fashionable ankle boots or loafers with a slight heel elevate the look for a sophisticated stroll around the picturesque Carshalton Ponds.
Styling Tips for a Flawless Autumn Tutu Look
- Layer it Up! Don't be afraid to play with layers! A tutu with a cozy knitted sweater underneath gives it a completely new feel. I love adding a chunky scarf or a denim jacket on top for that effortlessly stylish, street-ready look.
- Shoes Are Key! Your shoes can really make or break your outfit. This season, ankle boots, suede loafers, even some funky knee-high socks over heels, all work wonders with a tutu!
- Accessories Don't Just Finish It, They Make It! Accessorise like a pro. Bold jewellery in statement gold or silver tones complements the warm colours of autumn, while a cute, small crossbody bag in a vintage leather finish adds a touch of Parisian charm to any look.
Ballet Style Inspiration
Remember those gorgeous ballerina silhouettes we love so much? Embrace them! Elegant necklines on blouses, sweaters or dresses work brilliantly with a tutu's delicate flow. Think elegant turtlenecks, V-necks or off-the-shoulder tops – they complement the tutu and create a stunning ballerina vibe.

Lucky for us, Carshalton is a little gem when it comes to shopping! Let’s head to those independent boutiques for some killer fashion finds! I know just the spots…
