Hey lovelies, it's Emma here, your resident ballet enthusiast and tutu-obsessed blogger! Grantham, you've been rocking the summer vibes and it's reflecting in our ballet fashion. Let's dive into the most delightful, airy, and absolutely show-stopping tutu styles that have been twirling around Grantham's dance studios lately!
It's All About the Pastel Palette:
This summer, pastels are where it's at. Forget the traditional blush pinks, we're talking baby blue, lavender, and dreamy lilac. Imagine floating across the studio in a wispy, lilac tutu with a delicate chiffon top, it's pure ethereal elegance! If you're feeling a touch bolder, add a pop of colour with a vibrant fuchsia ribbon tied around your waist. Trust me, the effect is stunning!
The Power of the Puff:
The classic romantic tutu gets a contemporary upgrade with the addition of playful ruffles and delicate, layered tulle. This season, the more layers, the better! Think of it as a ballet-inspired fashion explosion that will have everyone gasping for air. This style is especially fabulous in delicate, shimmering fabrics like organza or silk. Pair it with a simple, fitted crop top in a contrasting shade for a perfect blend of chic and dramatic.
Summer in a Skirt:
Who says tutus need to be traditional? This summer, we're seeing a rise in more experimental designs. From tiered, asymmetrical skirts to single-layered creations with a dramatic flair, the possibilities are endless! Think about adding in fun, unexpected elements like strategically placed lace panels or sequins that peek out from the layers of tulle. The result? A statement piece that is just begging to be photographed!
Let's Get Whimsical!
And let's not forget about the magic of summer accessories! Imagine adding a bejewelled headband, a cascade of delicate floral hair pins, or even a whimsical fairy-like butterfly motif to your tutu. The trick is to keep it fun and flirty while maintaining a touch of elegance.
A Spotlight on Local Talent:
Of course, I wouldn't be true to Grantham without shining a light on our fantastic local shops!

Bonus Styling Tips:
- Think about your height: Longer tutus can elongate your figure while shorter ones emphasize your legs.
- Embrace your shape: Flowing, loose styles work well for petite figures, while fuller tutus flatter curvier frames.
- The power of colour: Choose bold colours for statement looks and stick with pastels for a more delicate touch.
- Accessorize strategically: A few well-chosen accessories can elevate any tutu.
