Hey, gorgeous ballet babes! Emma here, back with another fashion fix. You know I can’t resist a good tutu, and with summer in full swing, there’s no better time to embrace these ethereal frocks. So, today I'm diving into the enchanting world of tutus and exploring the chicest ways to wear them this season right here in our beautiful Bournemouth!
Sun-Kissed Sophistication: Beyond the Ballet Studio
Listen, I know we all associate tutus with ballet, and I wouldn’t dare change that, but let's get one thing straight: tutus aren’t just for dancing. In fact, they’re a statement piece perfect for both casual and formal summer events, day or night.
The Casual Chic:
Think effortless grace in a flowy tulle skirt paired with a cute crop top. Opt for soft pastel hues like baby pink or a breezy floral print – it's all about that whimsical summery vibe. Slip on some chunky sandals or sandals with a pop of colour and you're ready to conquer those sunny days. Add a statement straw hat, and you've got a look that screams "holiday mood" wherever you go.
Beachside Glam:
Let's get beach ready with a tutu! I’m talking a full-length, ethereal tulle skirt with delicate beading. Think delicate straps that peek out from under a light, flowy linen top, all matched with a gorgeous golden tan. It's a perfect ensemble for those picturesque walks along the Bournemouth pier or sunset cocktails at a beachside bar. Just pair it with sleek flat sandals or simple espadrilles for an effortlessly elegant beach vibe.
Summer Celebrations:
Who says tutus are just for casual outings? A vibrant tutu is a bold statement for a garden party, birthday bash, or any other summer event. This is where things get a little more glam. Picture a tiered, shorter tulle skirt in a bold fuchsia or turquoise, paired with a satin camisole and delicate statement jewelry. Throw on a pair of glamorous heels, a shimmering clutch, and you've got a look that’s utterly mesmerizing.
