Hey everyone! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast and local ballet blogger, and let's be honest - summer is here, the sun is shining, and our tutus need a refresh! I'm feeling so inspired by the vibrant energy of the season that I'm dying to share my favourite summer-themed tutu styles, all found right here in Taunton. Let's dive in!
1. The "Sunshine Yellow" Romp:
Okay, we know, "Yellow" might sound like a wild card, but hear me out. Think sunny skies and daisies - a breezy, carefree yellow tulle, maybe with a little hint of lemon or daffodil for a touch of whimsy. I'm picturing a short, layered tutu that twirls like a golden ray of sunshine. It's perfect for those spontaneous summer picnics in the park or a casual, fun rehearsal session. Pair it with a cute, crop top or a simple white t-shirt and white trainers, and you're ready to radiate joy.
2. The "Pink Lemonade" Dream:
My personal go-to? It's gotta be pink, darling! Summer screams for the softest, most delicate pinks imaginable. Think blush, baby pink, and all the variations that make your heart flutter. I'm a big fan of a classic pink, layered tutu, but this season I'm absolutely loving the sheer, ethereal feel of a "dreamy" pink tutu, maybe with some beautiful floral embellishments. The key is keeping it light and airy - a pink tulle, slightly longer than the "Sunshine Yellow" romp, so it flows beautifully with every pirouette. And for footwear? Ballerinas, of course, but you can always embrace that summer vibe with a pair of cute pink sandals.
3. The "Sea Breeze" Elegance:
For a touch of elegance, go for a gorgeous turquoise or sky-blue tutu! These colours conjure up images of cool sea breezes and sun-drenched beaches. Picture a stunningly crafted, slightly longer tutu, with layers of shimmering, slightly darker shades of blue. This is for the dancer who wants a little sophistication alongside that summery spirit. Pair it with a flowy, off-the-shoulder top in white or a pastel hue, and let the blues dance with your every movement.
4. The "Berry Delight" Pop:
Okay, here's where things get truly fun! Let's add some "Berry Delight" to the summer with pops of vibrant, juicy hues like raspberry, blackberry, or even strawberry pink! Imagine a playful, slightly shorter tutu in one of these berry tones, perfect for a ballet class with an upbeat tempo. You could even find some stunning sequined berry accents to really make it pop! Finish the look with a vibrant crop top, or a white tank top and a fun hairband in the same berry tone, and you'll be the life of the party.
5. The "Fairy Tale" Fusion:
We've got sunshine, we've got pinks, we've got blues, we've got berries, so why not add a sprinkle of "Fairy Tale" magic? This is all about the unexpected, beautiful blends of colour and texture. Imagine a blush-toned tutu, with some shimmering lilac highlights and delicate floral embroidery. It's the kind of tutu that embodies romance and whimsical magic, perfect for a ballet that touches on those fantastical themes.

- Customised Chic: No two ballerinas are the same, and our tutus should reflect that individuality. Experiment with adding personal touches, whether it's ribbons, beading, or even carefully crafted appliques.
- Don't be Afraid to Experiment: Try bold colour combinations, explore different textures, and experiment with unusual embellishments. It's summer, and it's a time for letting your creative spirit flow!
- Play with Layers: Layering tutus is a great way to add dimension and volume. Start with a base layer, and then experiment with adding sheer, lightweight tulle in contrasting shades.
