2024 Summer Tutu Styles Tutu Styles in Fashion in Cramlington

Hey fashionistas! It’s your girl, Lily, back with another post! As a dancer living in Cramlington, I’m always on the lookout for cute, affordable outfits that make me feel ready to prance. And what screams summer and sass more than a gorgeous, twirly tutu? That’s right, girls - tutu fashion is taking Cramlington by storm!

We’ve been blessed with some beautiful weather lately, perfect for showing off those tanned legs. So, I’ve been scouting the streets (and shops!) for some fabulous tutu inspiration. Let’s dive into this whirlwind of tulle and sunshine, shall we?

As a self-proclaimed pink lover, I can’t resist the romantic elegance of a blush pink tutu. It’s such a dreamy shade, reminiscent of summer sunsets and cotton candy clouds. Plus, it's incredibly flattering against tanned skin! I recently discovered a shop in the town centre called ‘Crafty Creations’. They have the most adorable handmade tutus in a plethora of pink hues – from soft rose to vibrant fuchsia. I snagged a gorgeous pink tutu with layers of lace for a very affordable price, perfect for a summer picnic or even a casual date night with the girls.

Forget your grandmother's dusty ballerina tutu. This summer is all about the sassy retro look! Think high-waisted, mini tutus, paired with crop tops and statement jewellery. This combination is perfect for channelling your inner ‘60s bombshell. I spotted some cool vintage-style tutus at ‘Rewind Records & Vintage’, hidden away in a little side street. They have everything from colourful 50s styles to super chic ‘70s layered looks. I snagged a bright orange, ruffled tutu which I’m planning on styling with a white crop top and a chunky, silver necklace for a true retro look!

The best thing about tutus is their versatility! They can be styled up for a night out or down for a casual stroll. I recently embraced the comfy-chic trend with a flowy maxi tutu in a neutral shade of beige. It was so comfy and breezy! It goes with absolutely everything, and looks perfect with sandals or even some stylish trainers. You can get similar styles in online retailers like ASOS and Amazon – it’s worth looking at their summer sales!

Who would have thought that Cramlington, our little town, could be a haven for tutu lovers? But it’s true! From independent boutiques to bustling markets, you can find some hidden gems. Let me share my insider tips with you:

• ‘The Little Dress Shop’: Located near the bus station, this shop offers a fantastic selection of stylish and affordable tutus. Their customer service is fantastic – I can always count on them for helpful styling tips.

• ‘Sew Crafty Cramlington’: If you're into creating your own look, this crafty haven is a must-visit. They offer all sorts of supplies for tutu DIY projects. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, don't worry! They also hold regular crafting workshops, including tutu making classes!

• ‘Cramlington Market’: This bustling market is not only a great place for fresh produce but also a treasure trove for vintage fashion finds! You’ll often find vintage tutu skirts hiding among the clothing stalls, which makes it such a fun spot to explore.

A tutu needs the right accessories to truly shine. Here are some summer essentials to complete your look:

• Sandals: Ditch those heavy boots! Opt for strappy sandals or open-toed shoes in vibrant colours or prints. Remember, a good pair of sandals can elevate even the most basic tutu!

• Statement Jewellery: Whether it's bold earrings or a statement necklace, the right jewellery can add an instant touch of glam to your look.

• Straw Bags: Nothing says summer more than a chic straw bag. Opt for a floppy, woven style or a structured, minimalist design, depending on your mood.

Embrace the fun, the twirling, and the sheer joy of tutu fashion! Forget the “ordinary,” unleash your inner sparkle and own those summertime looks.
