Hey ballet babes! It's Emma here, back with another post dedicated to my absolute favourite thing - tutus! Summer is here, the weather's hot, and the stage is calling, so it's time to embrace all things vibrant and airy. In the bustling capital, Canberra, there are so many styles of tutu to be explored that it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Don't worry, though, I'm here to guide you through the trends that are sure to make your summer performance one to remember.
Embracing Pink Perfection:
Pink has always been my go-to colour, and it just screams summer! Whether you’re a budding ballerina or a seasoned professional, there’s a shade of pink to complement every performance. From the classic baby pink that evokes a sweet, innocent vibe to the bolder fuchsia that's full of energy, there are so many possibilities! Think of the stunning floral tutus with soft layers of pink tulle. You can even add a delicate touch of pale blue to create a stunning pastel palette for a ballet piece that’s as soft as a summer breeze.
The Magic of the Mini Tutu:
Forget about those full-length tutus for the stage this summer – it's all about the mini! Shorter skirts will keep you cool and comfy, while the freedom of movement allows for captivating choreography and exciting jumps. For a chic touch, look for tutus with a ruffled hemline for added flair, or go for a multi-layered option in varying lengths for a layered effect.
Modern Musings with Colourful Touches:
Don't be afraid to go bold with your colours! The modern ballet world loves playful colours that pop on stage. Mix and match a selection of summery tones like vibrant yellows, playful oranges, and bright blues. These pops of colour are not only visually striking but they add a captivating vibrancy to your movement and enhance the energy of your performance. Remember to use different colour fabrics and designs for a more dramatic look.
The Enchanting World of Embellishments:
Add that touch of whimsy with elegant embellishments. Sparkling rhinestones, delicate floral appliques, and graceful feather detailing – these elements elevate a tutu from simple to sensational. It's a great opportunity to play with themes and evoke specific emotions within your dance. Consider using these details for a touch of glamour or a delicate reminder of the natural beauty of summer.

Final Touches for a Summer Swan:
Of course, your tutu isn't complete without the perfect finishing touches! Don't forget your elegant dance shoes, a beautiful headband, and some stylish hair accessories for a complete summer look. Play with different hairstyles, such as elegant buns, sleek ponytails or flowing braids. Remember that makeup is also essential! Choose products that enhance your natural features while being light and breathable for the warm weather.
