Hey everyone! It's your girl, Anya, back with another post about my absolute favourite topic: TUTUS! Summer is officially here, and the sun is shining, which means it's the perfect time to ditch the tights and embrace the whimsical, playful world of tutu fashion. I've been on the hunt for some serious summer tutu style inspiration, and guess what? Chichester has totally delivered!
Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Tutus? In Chichester? What could there possibly be?" But trust me, this quaint seaside town has some serious sartorial gems waiting to be discovered. From vintage boutiques brimming with old-world charm to chic contemporary shops, there's a tutu style for everyone, and I'm about to spill all the secrets.
First things first, let's talk colour! It wouldn't be a summer tutu extravaganza without a burst of vibrant hues. Forget those traditional ballet whites - pink, turquoise, and lemon yellow are the names of the game this season. My favourite find so far? A rose pink tutu at The Dressing Room in the heart of Chichester. Imagine this: layers of soft tulle, shimmering with every movement, in the most delicate shade of pink imaginable. They paired it with a white crop top and a simple pair of trainers, making the whole look effortlessly chic. It screamed summer, seaside charm, and definitely got me thinking about those warm evenings by the harbour.
Next up, fabric! There's a whole new world of playful textures out there. Forget the stiff, scratchy nylon of yesteryear. We're talking silk, chiffon, and even the occasional splash of metallic mesh for a touch of futuristic glamour. At Silk and Stone, a haven for all things elegant, I discovered a chiffon tutu in a glorious sky-blue, adorned with tiny, intricate sequin details. I just had to have it! It was ethereal and light, and just the right amount of "dress up" without being overly theatrical. I paired it with a simple silk cami top and nude heels for a dinner party with a twist. The feeling of the fabric as it floated around me was divine.
Patterns, though? Let's not forget the playful patterns. The world is your oyster! Florals are always a classic, especially when paired with the airy elegance of a tutu. The Little Boutique in Chichester boasts a rainbow of patterned tutus. There's one with tropical hibiscus prints that practically screams "island getaway," perfect for a day spent by the beach, and another with delicate pastel florals for a romantic summer picnic.
But wait, there's more! Remember, it's all about personal style. Whether you're channeling the whimsical fairytale princess, a sleek, modern ballet muse, or just a playful individual who loves expressing themselves through fashion, there's a way to make a tutu your own. And remember, the magic lies in the mix and match. A tutu skirt paired with a classic white tee and a leather jacket? Bold, unexpected, and effortlessly cool. A cropped tutu paired with a loose linen top and flat sandals? The epitome of laid-back summer chic.
So, go ahead and explore the hidden treasures of Chichester. Be bold, be playful, and most importantly, be YOU!
