Hey there, fashionistas! It's Emma here, your resident ballet-obsessed blogger, and I'm absolutely buzzing to share my summer style inspiration with you all. You know I love a good tutu – they're just so whimsical and effortlessly chic! But let's face it, when the sun is out, you need some lighter, more breezy options to twirl in.
So, I've been doing some serious scouting in Borehamwood, and let me tell you, there are some fabulous places to find the perfect summer tutus! From classic romantic looks to playful pops of colour, I've got you covered.
Embrace the Romance: Delicate Floral Tutus
For that ethereal summer vibe, you can't go wrong with a floral tutu. Think delicate patterns of tiny blooms on soft tulle, fluttering around you like a summer breeze. The colours should be just as sweet: soft pinks, creams, and hints of lilac are my personal favourites. And don't be afraid to embrace the whimsy! Some of the floral tutus I've seen have dainty little bows, lace trims, or even sparkling embellishments - they add a touch of magic to any look.
Where to find them:
"Dancescape" on Borehamwood High Street is a real gem for romantic styles. They've got some beautiful handmade tutus in all sorts of lovely floral fabrics. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful.
"The Fabric Emporium" just off Elstree Road is another must-visit! You can pick up some incredible tulle fabric in a wide range of floral patterns, perfect for crafting your own dreamy tutu masterpiece.
The Statement Tutu: Pops of Colour
Summer is the time to go bold! For those who love a touch of drama, try a tutu in a bright, vibrant colour. Think coral, sunshine yellow, emerald green, or even electric blue. These tutus instantly turn heads, and they're so much fun to twirl in. To complete the look, pair your colour-bomb tutu with a white tank top or a fitted bodysuit for a touch of contrast.
Where to find them:
"The Little Dance Shop" on Shenley Road has some fantastic bright colours, perfect for those wanting to make a statement. They also carry matching leotards and warm-up jackets in matching tones – for those who want to create a head-to-toe summer statement.
"Sew Creative" in Borehamwood Shopping Centre offers a fantastic range of fabrics in bold summer hues. Don't be afraid to mix and match - experiment with different shades and textures to create a truly unique look.
Beachy Chic: Nautical Tutus
We all need a little nautical inspiration in our wardrobes, and there's no better place to find it than in Borehamwood, so close to the Hertfordshire coastline! For that effortlessly stylish, summery look, opt for a tutu with navy blue, white, and red accents. I've seen some gorgeous ones with sailor stripes, anchors, or even little starfish appliques. Pair it with a striped top and some comfy sandals, and you'll be ready for a day at the beach.
Where to find them:
"Seafaring Styles" on the Elstree Road is a little haven for all things nautical! They've got a delightful selection of summer tutus featuring cute seaside details. The staff also offer excellent advice on creating a balanced and chic look.
"The Knitting Basket" in Borehamwood Town Centre has a fantastic range of yarns in navy, red, and white. For the more creative fashionistas, this is the perfect place to find your next tutu DIY project!
The Relaxed Tutu: Casual Chic for Everyday
For the days when you want something a little more casual, try a jersey or chiffon tutu. These styles are comfortable, stylish, and perfect for those warmer summer evenings.
Where to find them:
"Fashion Fix" on the High Street carries some amazing jersey tutus in light summery hues. They are great for lounging or running errands – effortlessly cool and comfortable.

Twirl and Sparkle: Finishing Touches
No matter what your style, the right accessories can take your summer tutu to the next level. Think playful headbands, dainty necklaces, sparkly hair clips, and fun tote bags!
My Must-Haves:
