Hey everyone, Emma here, back with another blog post on the divine art of tutu styling! Today, I'm going to dive into the beautiful world of summer tutus, and trust me, it's a haven for the fashion-forward ballerina! As we embrace the warmth and sunshine of this lovely season, it’s time to give our ballet wardrobes a delightful upgrade!
You might think the humble tutu is limited to the stage, but let me tell you, its fashion appeal transcends the realm of classical dance! From chic day-wear to breezy beachwear, a well-chosen tutu can add that perfect touch of whimsy and grace to any summer outfit.
So, let’s embark on a journey through the delightful summer styles that are captivating the world of tutus!
From Stage to Street:
Firstly, let's acknowledge that we need to differentiate between stage tutus and the ones we can rock in our everyday lives. A classical ballet tutu, crafted for pirouettes and arabesques, often demands specific technical features that aren’t quite suitable for the streets of Shenley Brook End.
Embrace the Trend: Casual Chic Tutus
Fortunately, the world of fashion has embraced the graceful spirit of the tutu and adapted it into the most darling summer looks! You can find variations with soft layers, shorter lengths, and more casual fabrics like cotton and chiffon. Think of a modern-day ballerina in flowy, comfortable attire.
Pink: My Personal Favourite
As you know, I am absolutely smitten with pink. For summer, I suggest going with softer shades like blush and rose to perfectly capture that warm, summer glow! It's a perfect combination of sweet and stylish!
My Must-Have Picks:
The Mini Tutus: These petite beauties are my absolute go-to for everyday styling! The shorter length allows them to pair flawlessly with denim shorts, flowy skirts, or even a simple maxi dress. Think of them as an effortless, breezy layer that elevates your ensemble with a touch of girly charm!
The Maxi Tutus: Perfect for those summer evenings when you want a little more drama! I'm loving the sheer maxi tutus adorned with subtle embroidery or sparkly accents. The long flowing layers create a dramatic silhouette while the delicate fabrics offer an airy and light feel.
Tutu Skirts: These delightful little numbers are the epitome of summery sophistication! Tutu skirts offer all the elegance and movement of a tutu in a more practical form. They can be paired with everything from flowy blouses to chunky knit sweaters for a unique and stylish look.
Styling Tips for the Shenley Brook End Fashionista:
Now, let's talk about some fantastic ways to incorporate these captivating tutus into your summer wardrobe!
For Daytime:
Paired with denim shorts: A mini tutu adds a delightful splash of color and movement to your favorite denim shorts. The contrasting styles create an irresistible, effortlessly chic look that's perfect for running errands or meeting friends for coffee.
As a layer over a sundress: Layer a delicate mini tutu over a plain sundress to give it an instant makeover! Choose a tutu that contrasts with the colour of your sundress for a statement look.
With your swimsuit: A tutu layered over your swimsuit transforms a simple beach day into a chic coastal escape. The volume and femininity of the tutu create an irresistible vibe!
For Evening:
Dressed up with heels: A sheer maxi tutu paired with sleek high heels is the perfect combination of romantic and modern! A sleek updo adds a touch of elegance for a night out dancing or attending a summer gala.
Accessorizing with chunky jewellery: Elevate your tutu outfit with bold necklaces and bracelets. Silver, gold, or bold-coloured stones can instantly add a glamorous touch!
Adding a bright clutch: Choose a bright or patterned clutch that contrasts with your outfit to create an even more dynamic look.
Remember to Have Fun!
Tutu fashion is all about expression, so embrace your inner ballerina and don't be afraid to experiment! Try pairing different textures and colours. The key is to have fun, let your creativity soar, and enjoy every beautiful moment of this sunny season!
