Hey there, fashionistas! It’s Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballerina and tutu aficionado, back with a new post! Summer is officially in full swing and that means it's time to ditch the heavy winter gear and embrace all things light and airy, even in the dance studio. And what could be more airy and light than a tutu?!
Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of Kingswood tutu styles and uncovering some of the latest trends that'll have you twirling through the summer like a ballerina on cloud nine.
Pink is always a good idea
As a devoted pink lover, it’s only natural that I start this summer’s tutu style inspiration with the most glamorous and feminine of all colours – pink. Pink, in all its shades, is a summer must-have for a reason. It radiates joy, cheerfulness, and, of course, effortless elegance.
Think about it: a pale blush pink tulle tutu is just as whimsical and charming as a sunny day, and you could easily imagine a romantic ballet performance set against the backdrop of a pink-hued summer sunset. And who doesn’t love the fiery fuchsia tulle tutu for a truly bold and attention-grabbing stage presence?
Go for the Flow!
We all love the classic, symmetrical tiered tutu. This traditional style never goes out of fashion and continues to embody the perfect blend of grace and elegance.
This summer, we're adding a splash of personality to this classic design by embracing asymmetrical lines and layered tulle with a flowy effect. The result is a soft, whimsical tutu that gracefully swirls with each movement, perfectly embodying the lighthearted mood of summer.
Imagine a tutu layered with a cascading gradient of pastel pinks, from delicate blush to vibrant flamingo pink. Each layer gently flows into the next, creating a dynamic and mesmerizing visual effect that evokes the effortless grace of a summer breeze.
Breaking Away From Tradition:
Summer is the season for experimentation, and this year's tutu trend encourages us to step away from the classic silhouette and embrace something a little more unexpected.
One such trend involves ditching the traditional tulle altogether and opting for a lighter, more fluid fabric. We're seeing a rise in tutus crafted from delicate silk chiffon or lightweight organza, fabrics that move with even the subtlest movements. Imagine a tutu that mimics the fluttering wings of a butterfly, dancing freely with a whisper of breeze.
Embracing the Unexpected:
Some contemporary styles incorporate bold design elements for a modern and unique approach to the traditional tutu. Intriguing shapes and innovative fabrics take center stage, with playful textures and intriguing geometric patterns taking the spotlight.
We are also seeing the emergence of tutus inspired by nature’s bounty: imagine a tutu that evokes the soft petals of a delicate rose or a delicate seashell with a wave-like design, shimmering with delicate silver sequins that mimic the light shimmering on the water's surface.
Accessorise with panache
It wouldn't be a proper tutu outfit without a few well-chosen accessories! Here’s where you can truly add your personal touch:
- Leotards: Experiment with colour combinations, embrace the beauty of florals, and consider strapless styles for a cool summer look.
- Shoes: Add a pop of colour to your pointe shoes, or step into a stylish sandal with a sleek ankle strap for an unexpected twist on a traditional ballet style.
- Jewellery: Think delicate floral earrings, graceful chains, or sparkling bracelets – add that perfect sparkle to complete your look.
Hair accessories: Whether you're opting for a classic ballet bun or letting your hair flow freely, a beautiful flower headband adds a summery touch to any tutu style.
