Hey everyone, it's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast and blogger extraordinaire! The sun's out, the days are long, and you know what that means – it's officially tutu season in Bridgwater! Whether you're a seasoned ballerina or a curious newcomer to the world of tutus, I'm here to guide you through the hottest tutu styles that will have you twirling through the summer in style.
For years, tutus have been associated with grace, elegance, and the magic of dance. But I'm here to tell you that tutus are SO much more than just a dancer's uniform! They're versatile, they're playful, and they can be worn by anyone – yes, even you!
Tutu Trends for a Summer of Sparkle
So, what are the biggest trends for summer tutus? Let's dive in, shall we?
1. Pink Perfection: As you all know, I’m a total pink fan, and this season it's all about soft, pastel pinks, blush hues, and vibrant hot pinks! Imagine a flowy, tiered tulle tutu in a blush pink, teamed with a white crop top and a touch of silver jewellery for a look that screams summer elegance. Or, embrace the vibrancy with a fuchsia tutu paired with a graphic tee and a pair of funky trainers for a playful, street-style twist.
2. Beachy Bohemian Vibes: This summer's all about embracing relaxed and natural styles. Think dreamy, flowing tulle in light, airy colours like dusty rose, ivory, and a touch of golden yellow. These ethereal tutus, adorned with delicate lace, will transport you to a breezy seaside escape. Paired with a flowy crochet top, a wide-brimmed hat, and chunky sandals, this look is perfect for those long summer evenings by the sea.
3. Playful Polka Dots: Forget the classics, polka dots are having a moment in the sun! A polka dot tutu is a fun and sassy option that's perfect for adding a touch of playful charm to any occasion. A black-and-white polka dot tutu can be styled with a classic white shirt for a vintage vibe, or with a brightly coloured crop top and sandals for a more modern and trendy look.
4. Short and Sweet: Long, flowing tutus are fabulous, but there's a special kind of charm to a shorter, more playful tutu. This trend lets you embrace the sunshine and show off those lovely legs! Pair a short tutu with a high-waisted crop top or a loose-fitting t-shirt and some gladiator sandals. You’ll look both chic and effortlessly trendy, and be ready for a day of fun in the sun.
