Hey darlings! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, and it's time to talk summer, sun, and of course, the most magical of fashion staples: tutus! Hornchurch, we’re here to find those tutu gems that will make you sparkle this season.
Now, we all know the classic tulle ballet tutu is a timeless staple, but let's be honest - sometimes it's time to shake things up a little. Summer calls for a vibrant, playful take on tutu fashion that feels both chic and comfortable. Think pastel hues, playful embellishments, and a touch of whimsy!
Pretty in Pink
If you know me, you know I’m a total pink devotee. Pink screams summer romance and whimsy - and when paired with a delicate tutu silhouette, it becomes a winning summer style. I've been obsessing over light pink tutus with layers of ruffled tulle. This style is so dreamy and ethereal. Add some gold or silver accessories - think delicate chain belts or a shimmering hair comb, and you're good to go.
Bohemian Rhapsody
For a relaxed and effortlessly cool look, the boho tutu is perfect. Think flowing layers of natural fabric like cotton or linen, mixed with earthy tones. Layers of delicate embroidery, tassels, or crochet detailing add that extra special touch. These styles work beautifully with simple accessories like woven sandals or straw hats for a complete boho look.
A Splash of Colour
Want to inject some vibrant energy into your look? Then don’t be afraid to experiment with bold, bright colours. Think citrusy yellow, vibrant teal, or deep fuchsia – the more colour, the better! Choose a single colour for a statement piece, or mix and match with complementary shades for a rainbow tutu explosion!
Beyond the Ballet Studio
The tutu doesn't belong just in the dance studio, ladies! It’s time to reclaim it for everyday fashion. A chic tutu can easily transition into your off-duty wardrobe. Pair it with a simple white T-shirt, a cute cropped sweater, or a fitted denim jacket. Throw on a pair of comfy trainers for an effortless streetwear vibe. And of course, there's no denying the ultimate pairing - a tutu with a classic white blouse! This duo embodies the feminine charm of a classic, fairytale look, perfectly suited for an evening out or a relaxed afternoon stroll.
Tutu Styling Tips
- Keep it balanced: Let your tutu take center stage. Choose simple tops, sleek jewellery and minimal makeup to let it shine.
- Experiment with accessories: Hats, headbands, sunglasses, belts and even playful tights add an element of fun.
- Layer it up: A delicate shrug, a cropped sweater, or a flowy cardigan will keep you cosy without covering the tutu’s magic.
