Hello fellow tutu enthusiasts! Emma here, your local ballet blogger, bringing you the hottest trends in tutus straight from the streets (and studios!) of Stretford.
Summer has officially arrived, and you know what that means – it's time to unleash your inner ballerina and embrace the fabulous world of summery tutu fashion. Gone are the days of bulky layers and heavy fabrics; we're all about airy, lightweight styles that move with grace and add a touch of whimsy to every occasion.
Pink Paradise
You know I'm a bit obsessed with pink, and this season, pink is truly taking center stage. From soft blush to vibrant fuchsia, pink tutus are perfect for everything from a leisurely stroll through the park to a night out at the theatre. My favourite summer pink look involves a flowing, chiffon tutu in a beautiful coral hue, paired with a simple white crop top and a pair of sparkly flats. This ensemble screams "effortless chic" and will have you feeling like a real-life fairy princess.
The Power of Prints
Forget plain tutus! Summer is all about bold, vibrant prints. Floral patterns, tropical motifs, and geometric designs are all incredibly popular right now. I recently spotted a stunning floral print tutu with delicate pink blooms that had me absolutely smitten. For a chic day look, I would pair it with a simple white t-shirt and sandals, adding a pop of colour with a bright handbag.
Adding Some Flair: Accessories and Details
Now, we all know that a great outfit needs a bit of accessorising to really complete the look. Here's where things get fun! Summer is the perfect season to play with vibrant colours and textures.
- Sparkly embellishments: Embrace the sparkle! From sequin-encrusted bodices to tulle that shimmers like moonlight, a touch of sparkle will take your tutu from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Headbands and Hair Accessories: Floral headbands and whimsical hair clips are perfect for adding a touch of summery charm to your hair. A vibrant, colourful headband can instantly elevate your entire outfit.
- The Magic of A Bag: A small crossbody bag is both practical and stylish for everyday errands. Look for styles that complement your tutu's colour palette. A straw bag or a woven tote bag are perfect for a casual summer vibe.
- Footwear: Let your feet shine! A pair of comfortable ballet flats or sandals are perfect for daywear. For evening events, consider a glamorous pair of heels with delicate embellishments.
