Hey everyone! Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, and I'm bursting with autumnal fashion inspiration for North Shields. As the leaves start to turn golden and crimson, it's the perfect time to embrace the magic of ballet-inspired style. Forget those boring autumn hues – let's bring a touch of whimsical grace and ethereal beauty to the season!
The Tutu Whisperer
Let's talk tutus, because a girl can never have enough! Forget about the pristine white, let's ditch the classic look and bring in those autumnal tones! A gorgeous deep maroon, a rich berry, a soft ochre - all perfect for creating a vibrant yet elegant autumnal look. Think about a tulle skirt that falls to your knees or calf, layered over a flowy chiffon blouse for an effortless chic look. Pair it with brown ankle boots for a bit of grunge or with black tights for an edgier vibe. For an even more dramatic touch, embellish the skirt with sequins or velvet details – we're aiming for a fairytale princess vibe, remember?
Autumnal Ballerina Essentials
Tutus are the cornerstone, but our North Shields wardrobe needs some additional elements! Let's talk accessories:
Hair Accessories: Imagine a gorgeous gold headband or an intricate barrette woven through a loose braid. Or a silk scarf, tied like a ballerina bun - perfect for chilly days. You can't go wrong with a statement headband in velvet or leather.
Knitwear: I love the contrasting texture of a fine merino wool sweater against the sheer tulle of a tutu. For a true ballerina vibe, think ballet-neck sweaters. Or opt for chunky cardigans, layered over a silk camisole and the tulle skirt. It’s about playing with textures and layering.
Shoes: I adore ankle boots – with their pointed toes, they really embody that 'ballet shoe' vibe. You could even embrace chunky boots for an edgy ballerina vibe. Or, why not go all out with a pair of bright pink ballet pumps, perfect for adding a burst of color!
Styling Your North Shields Tutu Look
For a day exploring the vibrant Tynemouth Markets: Imagine a blush pink tutu with a simple black knitted jumper tucked in. Add black tights and a chunky chain necklace for a touch of edginess. You're good to go, exploring the colourful stalls and cafes.
For a cosy night out at the Queen's Hall: A stunning crimson-hued tutu with a black turtleneck and an intricate pearl necklace – a hint of old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist! Add some black stiletto heels for that final touch of sophistication.
For a relaxed stroll along the North Shields Fish Quay: Think a simple soft grey tulle skirt, paired with a black t-shirt and chunky tan ankle boots. Throw on a beige cardigan and accessorize with a knitted beret for a chic, Parisian feel.
