Hey everyone! It's Emma here, your local ballerina and tutu-obsessed fashionista. As the sun shines brighter and the air gets warmer, there's nothing I love more than exploring the intersection of ballet and summer style. And what better place to do that than right here in Edgware?
You might think tutus are just for the stage, but let me tell you, they're seriously versatile and can totally rock the street! In Edgware, we've got a thriving dance scene, so you can find everything from classic to contemporary, and of course, some incredible tutus to boot.
This summer, I'm channeling the ultimate "Pink Princess" vibes, and that means embracing the perfect pastel palette in my tutu choices. Pink is the colour of whimsy and joy, and what's more fun than rocking a fluffy pink tutu? Think layers of tulle, a delicate sprinkle of sequins, and a touch of playful embellishment - the possibilities are endless!
Beyond the Basics: Tutus for Every Occasion
Forget the traditional stage tutu for a second - we're stepping out of the dance studio and onto the streets of Edgware! Let's talk about the different ways you can rock a tutu, and what to look for when finding your perfect fit:
*1. The Romantic Tutu: *This is your classic ballerina aesthetic with a twist. Look for a flowing tulle skirt, a touch of embroidery, and delicate embellishments like pearls or tiny sequins. Opt for soft colours like blush, lavender, or even a beautiful sky blue. Wear this tutu with a chic white blouse tucked in, a pair of nude heels, and a straw hat for the perfect Parisian afternoon look.
2. The Street Style Tutu: Don't be afraid to experiment with the tutu's silhouette and textures. A more casual, everyday look might feature a short tutu skirt with a denim jacket, a pair of chunky trainers, and a cute crop top. A layered look is definitely on-trend, and this is where tutus really shine!
3. The Evening Glamour Tutu: Take the stage look to a new level with a glamorous tutu. Imagine a shimmery gold tutu skirt, a sparkly black crop top, and a pair of high-heeled stilettos. A pop of colour like a vibrant red lip and statement earrings will complete this head-turning look.
*4. The Colourful Tutu: *I know, I know, you know how much I love pink, but sometimes you need a burst of colour! Edgware has shops that offer amazing tutus in all the rainbow hues, perfect for summer parties and festivals. Layer a vibrant tutu over a basic tee, add some funky platform shoes, and accessorise with bright bangles for a seriously cool and bold statement.
