Hey everyone! It's Emma here, your local ballet blogger, and autumn is officially here! I’m so excited to talk all things tutu and ballet fashion – because let's face it, just because the leaves are falling doesn’t mean our love for all things twirly has to fade! So grab your hot chocolate, get comfy, and let's dive into the magical world of tutu-tastic autumn fashion!
A Colour Palette for the Ballet Goddess
This autumn, I’m embracing a rich, autumnal colour palette for my tutu fashion. Think rich, jewel tones like ruby red, sapphire blue, and emerald green - colours that pop against the golden hues of fallen leaves. And, of course, my favourite shade: a gorgeous pink! This pink isn't the candy floss pink of summer – we're going for deeper, more sophisticated shades like rose pink and dusky pink that blend beautifully with autumn’s colours.
Embrace the Textures
Autumn is all about layers and textures. Forget the breezy silks of summer and think about luxurious fabrics like velvet, velour, and cashmere. I love layering a delicate silk leotard under a velvety long-sleeved top. For that ultimate "ballerina chic" look, add a lace trim on the neckline of the top, just peekin’ out under the velvet - so cute!
Autumn Accessories:
No ballerina is complete without accessories! Autumn brings new and exciting opportunities. I love the delicate shimmer of velvet hair scrunchies, adorned with sparkly beads. Or try a delicate gold necklace layered with a thick, cosy autumnal scarf – this adds that perfect touch of both sophistication and warmth.
Taking it to the Streets
Here in Ellesmere Port, the autumn winds can be brisk! But don’t let that stop you from flaunting your inner ballerina. Think stylish cardigans or boleros that provide warmth and complement your outfits. I love pairing my classic ballet cardigan with a lace-trimmed top and a flowy tulle skirt. It's comfy and still maintains that gorgeous ballet aesthetic.
My Favourite Spots in Ellesmere Port for Tutu Inspiration:
Being from Ellesmere Port, I've got my go-to spots for tutu inspiration! Here's the scoop:
The Old Town Hall: The Old Town Hall with its charming architecture is the perfect backdrop for a fashion shoot! Plus, you can often find cool, independent boutiques around here selling everything from cute tutus to vintage accessories – perfect for a ballet-inspired look.
Ellesmere Port Marina: The marina is my secret spot for getting those classic ballerina photos with the beautiful scenery and light.
The Cheshire Oaks Shopping Centre: You’ll find some seriously cute tutus in the department stores and the independent boutiques here – they have an awesome selection of dresses, shoes and even those pretty ballet-inspired sweaters we all adore.
A Few Tutu Fashion Tips for the Season
- Embrace the Tulle: You can't go wrong with a tulle skirt. The best thing is you can wear it all the time – just play with layers, textures and colours to create a different vibe.
- Don’t be Afraid to Layer: Autumn is the perfect season for layering. Combine tulle skirts, leggings, jumpers, and jackets to create a cosy and fashionable look.
- Accessorise with Statement Pieces: Whether it's a statement necklace, a bold hat, or even a sparkly belt, accessories can truly elevate your look!
- Be Creative! The best part of fashion is it's all about personal style. Embrace your inner ballerina and experiment to create your own unique look.
