Hey everyone! It’s Emma here, your local ballet enthusiast and tutu-obsessed fashion blogger. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and you know what that means? Summer is here! And what’s a better way to celebrate the vibrant energy of this season than with a dazzling tutu?
I’m not talking about those traditional, stiff tutus that you see on stage. No, we're talking about *modern tutus, *made with playful textures, pops of colour, and even unexpected twists that bring a fresh new look to classic ballet fashion.
Today, we're exploring the tutu styles that are absolutely trending in High Wycombe, so get ready for some seriously cute inspiration. As a passionate dancer with an eye for fashion, I've been scouring the local dancewear shops, and let me tell you, the selection is amazing!
A Romantic Pastel Dream
Pink is my all-time favourite colour, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely dominating the tutu scene this summer! Think soft pinks, pale lilacs, and those dreamy, pastel hues that bring to mind cotton candy clouds and summer sunsets.
- Tulle Layers: A layered tulle tutu is the ultimate statement piece for the season. Imagine multiple layers of delicate tulle, creating a cascading cloud of airy elegance. I love finding tutus with varying shades of pink for added dimension and a unique, artistic look.
- Floral Embellishments: A floral embellishment gives your tutu that whimsical, summery flair. Look for delicate floral appliques, floral printed fabrics, or even bouquets of flowers cascading from your waist.
- Romantic Chiffon: For a soft and romantic touch, embrace chiffon layers. It adds a dreamy and ethereal effect to the tutu, perfect for creating an enchanting, princess-like feel.
- Pink Bow Accent: Don't forget the bow! A large, cascading pink bow on the waist of a tulle tutu instantly adds that touch of femininity and playful sophistication we adore in summer.
Effortless Style with a Touch of Bling
Not everyone is a princess-style girly-girl. Luckily, there’s a wave of tutu styles that offer a sleek and modern look, perfect for those who prefer a touch of boldness without losing that graceful edge.
- Black and White Contrast: This combo creates a sleek and stylish effect. Look for bold black ribbons, a fitted black bodice, and layered white tulle, all tied together by a sleek black velvet ribbon that gracefully cinches your waist.
- Metallic Shine: A metallic touch is definitely making waves! This season, it's not about overpowering sparkle. It’s more about subtle, elegant accents. Consider a tutu with metallic thread details that create a subtle shimmer.
- Asymmetrical Flair: Forget the traditional, symmetrical silhouette. This summer, we're embracing asymmetry! Find tutus with uneven tulle layers or diagonal detailing, breaking up the predictable silhouette for a contemporary and edgy touch.
- Minimalism Meets Elegance: Sometimes, less is more. Embrace this idea by opting for a sleek minimalist tutu. This style usually features simple tulle layers, a bare bodice, and a statement ribbon for a chic and contemporary look.
- The “High Wycombe Sparkle”: Crystal embellishments, while traditionally used in the theatre, are starting to pop up in contemporary styles. They bring that extra dose of glamour that transforms any casual day into a special event.
Beyond the Ballet:
Who says tutus are just for the dance studio? This summer, wear your passion for ballet wherever you go!
- Tutu as a Top: I'm loving the "tutu top" trend. This means pairing a fitted tulle tutu, ideally with a bodice, with denim jeans or shorts. You can even choose to use a sheer tutu, and layer it over a bandeau top or T-shirt!
- The "Everyday Tutu": Opt for softer materials and subtle design elements that work for a more casual vibe. Look for delicate tulle, softer satin, and subtle ribbons instead of sequins or heavy embellishments. You can pair it with an oversized shirt, a light summer dress, or even wear it with your favorite casual outfit.
- A Statement Tutu for Every Occasion: The beauty of tutus is that they can easily transform to match any occasion. For summer festivals, opt for bright colors, bold ribbons, and lots of flair. For summer parties, consider adding feminine lace details, sequins, or even playful feathered embellishments!
