Hey everyone, it’s Emma here! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and… well, it’s definitely time to ditch those winter layers and embrace the summer sunshine with some fabulous new tutu styles. You know, those magical swirling garments that make you feel like a fairytale princess? I, for one, am all about tutu fashion, and I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been loving lately!
Basildon has a fantastic community of ballet dancers and enthusiasts. We might be a bit further from London’s West End, but that doesn't mean our passion for ballet is any less fierce! So, if you’re a local dancer looking to inject some sunshine and sass into your classwear, or you just want to channel your inner ballerina at a summer festival, keep reading!
Whimsical Pastel Paradise
We're officially entering the realm of summer brights, and I’m completely obsessed with pastel pinks and delicate florals. This trend really embraces the whimsical fairytale vibe of the tutu. Think fluffy, airy tulle, cascading ruffles, and light-as-a-feather layers in shades of rose, lavender, and mint. This style is perfect for young dancers or anyone who wants to bring a touch of sweet femininity to their look. There's a dreamy lightness to this aesthetic that captures the essence of a balmy summer evening.
A Touch of Gold
Who can resist a bit of sparkle? I’m loving gold details this summer. A sprinkle of metallic thread woven into the tulle or a glittering belt can elevate a simple tutu into a show-stopping masterpiece. A gold waistband can add a touch of class and glamour, or go all out with an extravagant tutu featuring golden sequin embellishments. It's the perfect way to bring some luxury to your summer style!
Short and Sweet
This season, I’m all about embracing shorter, more playful tutus. These chic, mini tutus offer a fantastic way to showcase long, toned legs while still maintaining that ballet aesthetic. I’ve been loving tutus with asymmetric layers, offering a touch of avant-garde fashion. A classic tutu silhouette paired with a bold crop top and sneakers can make for a stunning and playful casual look.
Prints that Pop
Bold, bright colours are making a comeback, and tutus are no exception! It's a welcome departure from traditional black and white, adding a fun and unexpected twist to your dancewear. Look for eye-catching geometric patterns, funky animal prints, or even cool abstract designs that will make you stand out from the crowd. You can even go for an abstract design featuring colourful shapes, capturing the vibrant energy of summer! It's a modern way to embrace the art of ballet!
Where to find your perfect tutu
Basildon has some fantastic independent boutiques specializing in dancewear, with a wide variety of tutus in every shape, style, and colour. These shops often carry unique and beautiful pieces that you won't find at larger chain stores. Some of my personal favourites include:
- Dance & Drama: Located in [Location Name], they stock a wide selection of tutu styles, from traditional to contemporary, in every colour imaginable.
The Ballet Shop: With their store nestled in [Location Name], they offer bespoke tutu designs for those who want something truly unique.
Creating Your Own Tutu-tastic Style
And for you daring souls who want to personalize your style, there’s always the option of DIY! You can purchase plain tulle in your favourite colours and, with some creativity, a needle, and thread, create a bespoke masterpiece to perfectly match your summer mood. It’s a wonderful way to unleash your creative side and express your individuality!
