Hey gorgeous dancers and fashionistas! Emma here, your resident tutu-obsessed ballerina and Beckenham blogger. The sun is out, the days are longer, and you know what that means? It's time to ditch the winter tights and embrace the colourful world of summer ballet fashion!
While I always adore a classic, romantic tulle skirt, I'm especially excited for the fresh, summery tutu trends that are sweeping Beckenham. Get ready to turn heads at your next ballet class or performance with these fabulously stylish picks!
1. The Pink Paradise Tutu
Let's be honest, a girl can never have too much pink in her life, especially when it's about a tutu. This summer, embracing the vibrant energy of pink is a must-have! Think hot pink, fuchsia, blush, or even a soft lavender for a more subtle statement.
Styling Tip: For an edgy look, pair your pink tutu with a black or navy leotard. To soften the contrast, try a cream or white top and accent with a sparkling pink hair ribbon. And never underestimate the power of a bold lipstick for an extra touch of glamour!
2. The Whimsical Floral Tutu
Summer is all about florals! Imagine delicate blooms dancing on a fluffy tutu, adding a touch of whimsy to your ballet ensemble. This is a great choice for showcasing a feminine touch while feeling breezy and carefree.
Styling Tip: If your tutu features large florals, try a simple, solid-colored leotard to let the blooms take center stage. For smaller prints, a patterned leotard can be a beautiful and elegant addition. A flower crown or hair clip is always a welcome touch to complement the floral motif.
3. The Sunshine Yellow Tutu
For a sunny, happy mood, there's no better hue than yellow! It adds a jolt of joy and instantly brightens your look, perfectly embodying the summer vibe.
Styling Tip: Consider a mustard yellow tutu for a deeper tone that's sophisticated and chic. Pair it with a black leotard and a touch of golden jewellery to enhance the summery warmth. If you want a bolder look, go for a vibrant yellow and add some colour to your hair with a bright ribbon or headband.
4. The Boho-Chic Tutu
For the free-spirited dancer, embrace a bohemian look with a flowing, layered tutu. Think flowing chiffon or soft silk with subtle embroidery, beads, or tassels for an effortlessly elegant touch.
Styling Tip: Channel the boho vibes with a soft, floral headband and some natural, earth-tone jewellery. For a complete look, go for a loose-fitting cotton top instead of a leotard for a relaxed, carefree style.
5. The Tutu-Leotard Combo
Skip the separate leotard and get ready for the chic and trendy combo: the tutu-leotard! This all-in-one piece combines a leotard and a tulle skirt for effortless style and practicality.
Styling Tip: Choose a bold colour like emerald green or sapphire blue for a modern and confident look. And don't be afraid to accessorize! Add a sparkling hair clip or a simple necklace to complete the ensemble.
