Hey gorgeous gals! Emma here, back with another installment of my #tutufashion adventures. Autumn is here, and even though I love a good summer twirl, there's something so magical about dancing under crisp, clear skies with the autumn leaves swirling around you. So, today we're talking all things tutu and ballet inspired fashion in our beloved Crewe. Get ready to embrace the season in style!
Bringing the Ballet to the Streets of CreweLet's be honest, you don't need to be a prima ballerina to rock the elegant, whimsical charm of ballet-inspired fashion. It's all about blending that delicate femininity with a bit of edge, and trust me, Crewe has a vibe that’s perfectly suited to it.
1. The Classic Tutu: Now, I know what you're thinking - "Tutus in Crewe? Are you serious?". Hear me out! We can definitely channel that graceful ballerina spirit without being literal. A classic tulle skirt with a soft, layered flow adds instant sophistication to any look. Pair it with a chunky knit sweater, tights, and boots for that effortless autumnal charm. You can even opt for a tulle skirt in a warm, autumnal colour like burgundy or a rich golden hue for a touch of seasonality.
2. Sweater and Leotard Love: I am a total sucker for the effortless cool of a simple leotard and sweater combo. Think black leotard peeking out from under a chunky knit, or even a cozy, cable-knit cardigan layered over a warm turtleneck leotard. For extra warmth, slip into some comfy tights – blacks, browns, even grey, or experiment with some subtle patterns! Don't forget those statement ballet flats, loafers or boots. They're all perfect for those Crewe afternoon strolls or coffee dates at our favourite local cafes.
3. Ballet Flat Fancy: This is where Crewe truly shines, gals. You can't deny that a good pair of ballet flats elevate a simple outfit to a whole new level of stylishness. Go for timeless black flats or add a touch of personality with some pretty patterned ones. There are endless ways to work them into your autumn wardrobe. Wear them with skinny jeans and a fitted top for an effortless yet elegant day look. Or style them up with a dress and a blazer for a polished evening out.
My Go-To Crewe Spots for Finding Ballet-Inspired Gems:- The Cheshire Antique Centre, Nantwich Road: You wouldn't believe the hidden treasures I find here! From vintage ballerina posters to dainty antique jewelry, it’s the perfect place to unearth some unique pieces to style with your tutu looks.
- The Clothes Exchange, Earle Street: For all the lovely vintage fashionistas out there, The Clothes Exchange is a dream! You can score seriously chic pieces from every era imaginable – think 1950s dresses that you can rock with some modern-day tutu flair.
- Crewe Market: This lively market has all sorts of independent fashion vendors and boutiques. Explore their stalls for fun statement jewelry, unique scarves and hats - you know I love a statement piece!
- Autumnal walks at Queens Park: This gorgeous park is a hidden gem for enjoying a walk under the autumn leaves. Think those stunning photos with the light reflecting on the fallen leaves – perfect for some #tutufashion moments!
- Attend a performance at the Crewe Lyceum Theatre: Treat yourself to a night out at the theatre and feel inspired by the talent on stage. Whether you go to see a ballet performance, a musical, or even a drama, theatre provides the perfect opportunity to show off your favourite tutu-inspired ensemble.
- Enjoy a hot chocolate at The Courtyard Café: Embrace those crisp autumn evenings with a cozy cafe moment, perhaps while browsing through the fashion magazines for new styling ideas!
- Keep it playful with colours: While I'm obsessed with pinks, fall's all about the warm hues. Think burgundies, olives, and burnt orange tones. Mix and match textures to add interest to your outfits, like a chunky cable-knit sweater paired with a smooth, flowing tulle skirt.
- Don't shy away from embellishments: Add some shimmer or sparkle with beaded belts, delicate brooches, and statement necklaces. Play with details and create visual interest!
- Complete the look with accessories: Autumn accessories are your best friends for adding that extra dose of chic. Experiment with scarves, beanies, berets, gloves, and of course, ballet flats in varying colours and textures!
Remember, girls, confidence is your biggest accessory. Embrace the grace, elegance, and playful charm of tutu fashion and create your own unique and captivating autumnal style in our fabulous Crewe. I can't wait to see you rocking the look!
Until next time, keep those tutus twirling!
