Hey fashionistas, it's Emma here, your go-to girl for all things ballet and fashion! Summer is officially in full swing, and while the sun is shining and the weather is warm, let's be honest - our dancing hearts still crave that signature ballet flair. So what better way to infuse that passion for dance into your summer wardrobe than with some gorgeous tutu-inspired looks? Today, I'm going to be diving into the delightful world of tutu fashion in the beautiful coastal town of Deal, where we can embrace that summer vibe with our love for all things tulle.
A Summer of Colour:
Okay, we all know pink is my absolute favourite colour, and it just screams summer vibes! A soft, blush pink tutu with delicate layers of tulle will be the epitome of elegance. Think about pairing this with a crisp white blouse, maybe a touch of lace or embroidery, and a cute straw hat. Now, that's a look that could charm any beach promenade.
And while we're talking about colour, let's not forget the bolder hues that bring sunshine into our wardrobe! Think a sunshine yellow tutu with playful, shorter layers - perfect for twirling and catching those sunny rays. Imagine this with a fitted, printed t-shirt and some bright white trainers for an effortlessly chic street-style look. Feeling bold? How about a bright red tutu paired with a fitted white crop top and a flowy denim jacket.
Finding Inspiration:
Here in Deal, inspiration is literally everywhere you look. Take a stroll down the bustling high street and check out the vintage shops and boutiques, their windows bursting with summery treasures. Let's not forget the enchanting pier, with its vibrant colours and endless possibilities. The summer sunsets over the sea? Absolutely mesmerizing. And what better source of inspiration for your summer tutu look than those golden hour sunsets. The warm hues of pink, orange and red - what more could you need to ignite your own style!
Turning Up The Volume:
Of course, you don't need to be on a stage to rock a full-on, theatrical tutu. There's something magical about adding that little touch of whimsy to everyday outfits, and it’s definitely not all about being too grand. Let's be practical - a short tutu paired with your favourite skinny jeans and a chic white t-shirt makes for an amazing casual look, perfect for weekend brunches or a stroll around Deal. Adding a statement belt, like a gold buckle, can tie the entire look together. Think of adding in accessories with some serious personality too. Think funky, large earrings, cool, vintage sunglasses, and colourful patterned socks.
For the Dance Enthusiast:
Now, for the true ballet enthusiast, let's talk about those elegant, floor-length tutus. They bring a level of graceful, ballerina chic to any occasion. Imagine a long, romantic tulle skirt with a gorgeous, embroidered bodice and a soft blush pink colour. The key here is to find an occasion where this style can really shine! Maybe a summer wedding, or even a special summer ball at one of the town's delightful historical locations. You could pair this style with your dancing heels or perhaps an elegant flat - like a stylish, white ballet slipper! Adding a touch of sparkling, silver jewellery, and maybe a small delicate floral crown in your hair will set off the look beautifully.
Embrace Your Creativity:
When it comes to incorporating tutus into your summer wardrobe, remember that this isn’t a strict rulebook, it's a playground of fashion possibilities. Feel free to mix and match different styles and textures. Explore those amazing fabrics. If you feel like being adventurous, even play around with fabrics like lace and organza, combining textures and prints for an extra layer of summer magic. Think about how these different materials move and flow - capturing the air, mirroring the dance of summer.
