Hey everyone, it's Emma here, your resident tutu-obsessed ballerina and style blogger! As spring blossoms, and the weather gets a little warmer, it's time to ditch the winter coats and embrace the sunshine. What better way to celebrate than with some glorious, whimsical tutu fashion?
Catford, with its buzzing energy and mix of old and new, is the perfect backdrop for showcasing some serious tutu style this spring. Think pastel colours, playful prints, and lots of swirling tulle!
A Springtime Swirl of Tutu Inspiration:
I know, I know, you might be thinking, "Tutues? Really?" But hear me out! Tutu fashion goes way beyond the classic ballet look. It's about embracing femininity, adding a touch of magic to your outfit, and having some fun with fashion. Think less ballerina and more fairytale princess – there are so many creative ways to incorporate tutu elements into your everyday wardrobe!
My Catford Guide to Tutu-tastic Styling:
🌸 Pastel Power:
Soft, dreamy pastels are the perfect spring colours. Think blush pink, lavender, sky blue, and mint green. Pair a powder blue tulle skirt with a crisp white blouse, or go all out in a pastel pink tutu dress. Don't forget a touch of sparkle with a pink sequined clutch!
🌸 Floral Fantasy:
Flowers and tutus are a match made in fashion heaven! Look for tulle skirts or dresses with floral patterns, or try a bold floral print top paired with a plain tutu skirt. For a more understated look, try a floral headband or a delicate floral print scarf.
🌸 Layering with a Tutu:
One of my favourite ways to wear a tutu is to layer it with a casual outfit. Pair a black tutu with a graphic tee and denim jacket for a cool, street-style look. Or layer a tulle skirt over jeans and a cozy sweater for a relaxed yet stylish vibe.
