Hey gorgeous,
It's Emma here, back with another fashion-tastic blog post! The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and autumn is officially in the air. It’s time to trade in the sunshine-bright colours for rich, autumnal hues – but who says ballet fashion has to be all about prim and proper?
This season, I'm embracing the cosy vibes with some chic and oh-so-fabulous tutu inspired fashion for you guys to copy in Nuneaton! Let's ditch those boring cardies and embrace a wardrobe transformation worthy of the stage!
Embrace the Autumnal Spirit
The colour palette for autumn is practically made for tutu fashion – think burnt orange, deep burgundy, forest green and golden yellow. It's the perfect time to channel those fiery reds and earthy browns into outfits that will have you looking stunning at the Nuneaton Market or for drinks at the The Queen's Head.
Nuneaton Style Hacks
Firstly, a tip for those of you feeling a little hesitant: it's all about starting small. You don't have to dive straight into a full-on tutu! A touch of tulle on the hem of a skirt or dress can bring that elegant touch without being overwhelming.
Think about combining a dark red or burnt orange sweater with a tulle skirt in a matching hue. Layer a crisp white shirt underneath for an elegant look that's perfect for Nuneaton's chilly days. You can elevate the look further with a chic belt – think brown leather with gold accents or a simple black with a metallic buckle for a touch of flair.
Let's Talk Shoes
Shoes are where I have some serious fun with autumn. Don't let those ankles stay hidden! This is your chance to really bring some serious elegance into your look. Here are my favourite picks:
Ballet Pumps: If there's one shoe that epitomises grace and elegance, it's the trusty ballet pump. Opt for velvet in burgundy or forest green for that touch of luxurious texture, or even go for a metallic sheen for a dash of glamorous edge.
Knee-High Boots: Let's be honest – boots are practically made for the season! But this is where we go beyond the average pair. I'm talking about velvet, lace-up styles, suede, knee-high boots with that touch of ballet. Think elegant pointy toe designs for a sharp silhouette or a lower chunky heel for a little extra comfort.
Over-the-Knee Boots: Now, for the real showstoppers – over-the-knee boots are a MUST for this autumn! Opt for a classic black with a timeless pointed toe or for a statement colour like forest green or rich red. Just be sure the boot sits neatly below the knee for an elegant touch.
Accessorize like a Pro
No tutu fashion is complete without accessories, darlings! This is where you can really amp up the drama and create looks that'll make you stand out at the Nuneaton Farmers Market or for that fancy dinner at the Old County Inn. Here are some of my favourite choices for the autumn season:
A Statement Necklace: Think gold chain with a chunky pendant, a bold layered statement piece or even a beaded necklace in colours that match your outfit.
Bold Earrings: Go big or go home! Choose dangling earrings in intricate designs – you could find some real beauties at one of the Nuneaton’s antique stores!
A Clutch Bag: Perfect for that evening out! Embrace the luxe vibes with a velvet clutch or go for a bolder choice with an embossed or beaded bag in burgundy, deep red or gold.
Don't Forget Your Hair & Make-Up!
Remember, it's the little things that make a look truly fabulous. A simple but chic low bun with a few strands falling around your face for that classic ballerina touch will enhance your look, especially with some delicate gold or silver bobby pins.
And what about make-up? Embrace the warmth of autumn with rich berry tones for your lips and smoky eye makeup with golden accents.
Be Creative, Have Fun!
Autumn is the perfect time to experiment and create looks that are uniquely YOU. The key to fabulous tutu-inspired fashion is to find what works for you and not be afraid to try new things!
From a ballerina in the classroom to a fashion enthusiast on the street, this season is all about channeling that inner dancer and embracing your personal style with some stylish tweaks to bring out the best in you! Don't forget to share your outfits and use the hashtag #tutufashion. I’m eager to see your stylish creations!
Until next time, stay chic!
