Hello darlings! Emma here, your resident tutu-loving, ballet-obsessed fashionista. Autumn is upon us, the air is crisp, and the leaves are turning into beautiful shades of gold and crimson – a truly magical time! But just because the days are getting shorter and the weather’s getting chillier doesn’t mean we have to put away our love for tutu fashion.
For this post, we're taking inspiration from the enchanting colours of autumn, the elegant dance moves of ballet, and the chic vibe of High Wycombe – think a modern twist on classic tutu styling with a touch of local flair. Let's get this autumn tutu fashion extravaganza going!
High Wycombe: The Perfect Backdrop for Tutu Fashion
High Wycombe is a beautiful town brimming with history and charm. From the picturesque Hughenden Manor, with its breathtaking gardens and historical connections to Benjamin Disraeli, to the vibrant and diverse shops lining its high street, there are endless backdrops for showcasing our favourite autumnal tutu outfits.
Embrace the Hues of Autumn
We all love our pink, but this season it's about blending in the warmth of autumn. Think burnt oranges, deep reds, rich browns, and muted yellows, perfect for creating stunning fall outfits.
Key Autumnal Tutu Styling Tips:
Tutu Layering: Start with your trusty tutu. A tulle skirt, whether a classic full-length or a whimsical mini, is the cornerstone of this look. A soft pink tutu will work well as it's subtle and elegant.
Autumnal Knits: For that cosy autumn feel, a chunky knit sweater in a deep maroon or warm camel hue is essential. Try layering it over your tutu – it adds instant warmth and sophistication, contrasting the delicate flow of the tulle perfectly.
Warm & Versatile Footwear: Autumn means comfortable shoes! Opt for ankle boots or knee-high boots in rich brown leather or a bold velvet for an added touch of elegance. Pointed ballet flats are another great choice, in black or brown leather or a fabric with an interesting pattern, to keep a ballerina theme.
Autumnal Accessories: Elevate your look with a statement hat. A wide-brimmed fedora in felt, a beanie with a pompom in a rich autumn colour, or a stylish beret, can be perfect for the High Wycombe weather and complement your tutu beautifully. Don't forget a bold scarf or a necklace with autumnal colours or motifs, adding an extra touch of colour and style.
