Hey everyone! It's Emma here, back with another post about all things tutu. As you know, I’m absolutely obsessed with the design and style of these beautiful pieces. I love seeing the variety of ways they can be adapted for different dance styles, occasions and of course, fashion! Today I’m exploring the fabulous world of tutu fashion in my hometown, Bishops Stortford, with a particular focus on styles that are perfect for the summer months.
Bishops Stortford is a town brimming with artistic spirit, so it’s no surprise that it has become a hub for aspiring dancers. Of course, this also means there are plenty of stores catering to the ballet-loving community, and with the weather heating up, I’ve been noticing a surge in gorgeous summery tutu designs!
For this post, I'm focusing on tutus in various shades of pink - a colour that perfectly embodies the essence of summer. So grab your iced tea and get ready for some serious inspiration.
Tutu Trends: A Pastel Palette of Summer Delight
1. The Ballerina Blush
This classic style features a soft, feminine tulle skirt that flutters effortlessly with every twirl. The light pink colour complements warm summer evenings, creating a romantic and whimsical look.
I recently picked up a gorgeous Ballerina Blush tutu from [insert name of local ballet shop], It’s perfect for class because it’s lightweight and airy. The waistband is super comfy and adorned with a tiny pink bow, which adds just the right touch of girly charm. I also adore the subtle layered design of the skirt - it allows the tulle to billow beautifully, adding a touch of drama to even the simplest barre exercises.

2. The Romantic Rose
If you're looking for a more dramatic and statement-making look, the Romantic Rose is the way to go. Think bold, vibrant shades of pink - think rose quartz or a stunning cherry blossom hue. This style usually features multiple layers of tulle, adding volume and movement. The result is a dramatic silhouette that perfectly embodies the energy of a warm summer evening.
My absolute favourite place to find statement-making Romantic Rose tutus is [insert name of local boutique]. The selection here is amazing, and you’ll find tutus for every occasion - from delicate pastel pinks for classes, to showstopping ruby hues perfect for a recital.

3. The Sunshine Sorbet
For a vibrant, playful look, consider the Sunshine Sorbet tutu. These come in fun and eye-catching colours - imagine watermelon pink or a gorgeous coral shade. They're perfect for adding a splash of sunshine to your summer style! Many Sunshine Sorbet tutus also incorporate pops of colour with fun embellishments like colourful ribbons or sparkling sequins.

Beyond the Basics: Elevate Your Tutu Look
No tutu is complete without the right accessories!
Hair Accessories: A beautiful ballet bun deserves the perfect finishing touch. Look for cute hair bands with little pink flowers or shimmering sequins to match your tutu’s pink tones.
Shoes: Ballet flats in pink shades or even colourful satin pumps add a touch of elegance.
Jewellery: A delicate silver or gold necklace and a matching pair of earrings with a few sparkling pink stones complete the look.
Summer-Ready Styles Beyond Ballet
Think tutus are just for ballet? Think again! Here’s how to rock the tutu trend beyond the studio:
Festival Fashion: Pair a tulle skirt with a denim jacket, a cute graphic t-shirt, and sneakers. Don't forget your statement sunnies and a bold crossbody bag!
Date Night: Transform your tulle skirt into a romantic piece for date night. Go for a darker shade of pink like maroon or berry, pair it with a stylish blouse, heeled sandals and statement earrings.
Beach Day: Opt for a lightweight chiffon tutu in a bright shade of pink or even a white one for a stylish summer look at the beach.
Tutu Inspiration: Following Local Style
Bishops Stortford has an incredible dance community! To see these styles brought to life and to find even more amazing tutu inspiration, I highly recommend attending some local ballet classes or performances.
