Hey gorgeous, Emma here, back with another fashion post – but this time we're getting autumnal and ballet-inspired! Worthing's seaside charm really takes on a new dimension this time of year, with the crisp air and changing leaves making for some truly beautiful backdrops. So let's channel those magical vibes and create some tutu-tastic looks, shall we?
I'm all about merging the classic grace of ballet with the warm, cozy vibes of autumn. Think luxurious velvets, soft knitwear, and of course, a whole lot of pink! (Sorry, not sorry! 😉) And we can't forget the ultimate ballet essential: the tutu! Yes, even in autumn, tutus can be styled for both elegance and warmth, and I'm going to show you exactly how.
The Versatile Tutu: Not Just for the Studio
First, let's talk tutus! Don't be fooled into thinking they're just for the stage. You can totally rock a tutu on the streets of Worthing and create the most magical looks, no matter your personal style.
- The Romantic Tutu: Go for a soft, flowy tutu in blush pink, maybe with some delicate embellishments like sequins or lace. This looks fantastic with a chunky knit sweater for a playful contrast, or even a luxurious velvet blazer for a more sophisticated edge.
- The Edgy Tutu: For a bolder vibe, choose a shorter, more structured tutu in a bolder colour like burgundy or emerald. Pair it with a fitted black top, some biker boots, and a leather jacket. Voila! A rocker chic outfit with a ballet twist.
- The Everyday Tutu: I love a simple, black tutu for casual wear. Layer it over jeans, leggings, or even a mini skirt. A simple white t-shirt, chunky boots, and a cardigan is all you need to complete this comfortable yet stylish look.
Layer Up: The Art of Warmth and Style
Autumn weather can be unpredictable, so mastering the art of layering is essential. Here are my favourite tricks for staying cosy and chic:
- Oversized Knitwear: Chunky sweaters in earthy tones like mustard yellow or forest green go wonderfully with tutus. Choose a cable knit for texture or a Fair Isle for some pattern play.
- Velvet Blazers: Velvet is such a luxurious fabric and instantly adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Opt for a classic black blazer or get bold with a vibrant jewel tone like emerald green or sapphire blue.
- Warm Cardigans: Cardigans are a must-have for autumn and perfect for layering over tutus. Opt for a chunky cable knit or a classic merino wool for ultimate warmth and style.
Accessorise with a Touch of Ballet Magic
Don't forget to finish your look with the perfect accessories:
- Ballet-Inspired Jewellery: Add some elegant touches with ballet-themed necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. You can find gorgeous pieces inspired by ballet shoes, dancers, or even swans!
- Stylish Headwear: Berets and floppy hats add a chic and autumnal touch to any outfit. Choose a colour that complements your tutu and the rest of your ensemble.
- Ballet Flats: While not technically a tutu, a pair of stylish ballet flats can really complete a ballet-inspired outfit. Opt for a pair in a warm autumnal shade like burgundy or camel.
