Hello, lovelies! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood tutu enthusiast and ballet blogger. As the sun shines brighter and the days get longer, we all crave a touch of summer joy. What better way to embrace the season than with a dash of ballet-inspired fashion? That's right, folks, we're taking our tutus outdoors!
West Bridgford, with its charming boutiques and buzzing atmosphere, is a treasure trove for finding the perfect summer tutu look. I've been scouring the shops, and trust me, there are some stunning pieces just waiting to be twirled. Let's dive into the world of tutus and find your summer style.
Pretty in PinkYou know my love for pink runs deep. So naturally, pink tutus are high on my summer wishlist! I'm thinking light, airy, almost-translucent fabric, with a touch of glitter for added sparkle. Imagine this: a baby pink tulle skirt layered over a floral sundress, finished off with a dainty, pink floral headband. You'll be the epitome of summertime elegance.
Local Hotspot: Head to [Local boutique name] for their stunning selection of tulle fabrics and ribbons. Their pink tulle is impossibly soft and comes in a range of shades, perfect for creating your own custom tutu masterpiece.
Floral FrenzyFlorals are the ultimate summer print, and they're oh-so-gorgeous on a tutu! Whether it's a classic floral print or a more abstract design, a floral tutu will instantly uplift your summer mood. Imagine pairing a vibrant floral tutu with a simple white tank top and some bright yellow sandals. Talk about a statement piece!
Local Spotlight: [Local craft shop name] has a fantastic collection of floral fabric. From delicate pastel prints to bold, vibrant designs, there's something to suit every taste. Get creative and mix and match different fabrics to create your own one-of-a-kind floral tutu.
Coastal ChicWho doesn't love the beach vibes of summer? You can capture that effortless, breezy feel with a coastal-themed tutu. Think nautical stripes, shades of blue and white, and maybe a touch of coral or seashell detailing. Imagine a navy blue tulle skirt layered over a striped white top, with a straw sun hat and beaded sandals completing the look. Perfect for a seaside stroll or a casual day out.
West Bridgford's Gem: [Local vintage shop name] is my go-to for finding vintage fabrics and trims. You can unearth incredible treasures there - think vintage sailor shirts, patterned ribbon, and nautical-inspired buttons - perfect for adding that extra special touch to your coastal chic tutu.
Festival FabulousSummer festivals are a celebration of all things bright, bold, and colourful. Why not bring that festival vibe to your tutu style? Choose a multi-coloured, layered tulle skirt in bold hues like pink, orange, yellow, and turquoise. Add some chunky silver jewellery, a funky printed top, and a pair of bright platform sandals to complete the look.
Let's Get Creative: The team at [Local craft shop name] offer a variety of workshops and DIY kits, perfect for getting your creative juices flowing. Try your hand at dying fabrics, adding bead embellishments, or creating your own custom tulle layers. It's all about expressing your own unique style!
Accessorize With StyleNo tutu look is complete without some chic accessories!
Headbands: A flower crown or a simple fabric headband is a summertime must-have. They add a touch of elegance and can even help to keep pesky hairs out of your face.
Sandals: For summer, I recommend comfy and stylish sandals. Choose platforms, gladiator sandals, or wedges, depending on your outfit and the occasion.
Bags: A straw tote bag or a canvas beach bag is perfect for carrying all your essentials, adding a touch of relaxed summer charm.
Jewellery: Layered necklaces, dainty bracelets, and simple earrings are perfect for adding some subtle glamour to your look.
The beauty of ballet fashion is that it goes beyond just tutus! Think graceful lines, effortless silhouettes, and delicate details. Consider:
Romantic Blouses: Sheer blouses with delicate lace detailing or billowy sleeves evoke a graceful ballerina aesthetic.
Flowing Skirts: A full skirt in soft silk or satin is the perfect embodiment of classic ballet style.
Slip Dresses: These can be styled with a delicate ballet cardigan or a fitted blazer for a contemporary take on ballet fashion.
