Whether you're hitting the local markets, chilling at a café, or soaking up the summer vibes at a music festival, Braintree’s got the perfect backdrop for showcasing your tutu flair.
So, let’s dive into the world of summer tutu styles and get you ready to dance through this season in ultimate ballet fashion. From dreamy daywear to sizzling soirée looks, I'm serving you up some fab finds, styling tips, and insider tricks to level up your tutu game!
Tutu Styles for Summer Days: Pastel Paradise & Picnic Perfection
Embrace the softness and serenity of the summer season with a palette of pretty pastels. Think baby pinks, dreamy lavenders, and sunny yellows – colours that perfectly reflect the carefree joy of summer. I'm absolutely obsessed with the look of a delicate, flowing tulle skirt in a dusty rose hue, paired with a crisp white top, adorned with a whimsical floral pattern.
For those sunshine-filled days, a vibrant lemon-yellow tulle skirt is a must-have! It adds a splash of brightness to any outfit and instantly elevates your casual summer looks. Team it with a loose linen shirt, a pair of chunky sandals, and a woven straw bag for a effortlessly chic and stylish look.
Now, who doesn't love a summer picnic? To give your picnic attire a dose of tutu magic, add a soft tulle skirt over your favourite denim shorts and a basic T-shirt. This playful layering adds an element of ballet whimsy without being too over-the-top. And don’t forget the dainty ballet flats or a pair of cute canvas trainers for comfortable picnic strolls!
Tutu Transformations: From Day to Night
You can easily transition your daytime tutu looks to sizzling summer evening styles. Add some metallic flair to your daytime pastel tutu skirt by layering a shimmering silver or gold top. A silky camisole in a vibrant jewel tone adds another layer of drama, especially when paired with statement jewellery like sparkling earrings or a delicate silver chain.
A bold, sequined clutch completes the look, adding a touch of glitz and glamour for a fun night out with friends or a fancy date night at one of Braintree’s chic restaurants.
The Power of Prints: Floral, Geometric & Bold Statements
Get ready to unleash your inner fashion icon by incorporating print patterns into your tutu repertoire. Summer calls for bold floral designs that reflect the lush gardens in full bloom. Choose a tutu skirt featuring large-scale florals in vivid shades of pink, red, and yellow – these prints make a stunning statement when paired with simple white or black tops.
Geometric prints are another fabulous option. A graphic black-and-white patterned tutu skirt can be effortlessly paired with a plain T-shirt or a flowing silk top, instantly transforming any outfit with a touch of edgy flair. For an eye-catching twist, opt for a printed tutu with colourful, abstract geometric patterns for a pop of playful personality.
Tutu Tips & Tricks
Here are some of my favourite tips for styling your tutu looks this summer:
- Experiment with Layering: Don’t be afraid to layer different tutu fabrics for texture and visual interest. A flowy chiffon skirt over a delicate tulle tutu, or a cotton skirt layered underneath a longer tulle skirt – these layering techniques add dimension to your tutu outfit.
- Embrace Accessories: A playful statement necklace, colourful hair accessories, or a statement hat add the finishing touch to any tutu look. Don't forget your dance shoes! A pair of sparkly ballet flats or stylish Mary Janes perfectly complement any tutu ensemble.
- Comfort is Key: Remember, it's all about having fun and feeling confident. Choose fabrics that allow for free movement and keep you cool under the summer sun. Consider materials like breathable cotton, flowy silk, or lightweight tulle.
