Tutu-tastic Trends in Cramlington!
Hey fashionistas! Itâs your girl, Lily, back with another post! As a dancer living in Cramlington, Iâm 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? Thatâs right, girls - tutu fashion is taking Cramlington by storm!
Weâve been blessed with some beautiful weather lately, perfect for showing off those tanned legs. So, Iâve been scouting the streets (and shops!) for some fabulous tutu inspiration. Letâs dive into this whirlwind of tulle and sunshine, shall we?
A Touch of Pink is the Perfect Summer StatementAs a self-proclaimed pink lover, I canât resist the romantic elegance of a blush pink tutu. Itâs 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 âCrafty Creationsâ. They have the most adorable handmade tutus in a plethora of pink hues â 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.
Rocking the Retro VibeForget 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 â60s bombshell. I spotted some cool vintage-style tutus at âRewind Records & Vintageâ, hidden away in a little side street. They have everything from colourful 50s styles to super chic â70s layered looks. I snagged a bright orange, ruffled tutu which Iâm planning on styling with a white crop top and a chunky, silver necklace for a true retro look!
Tutus Go Casual? You Bet!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 â itâs worth looking at their summer sales!
Cramlington's Hidden Gems for Tutu FashionWho would have thought that Cramlington, our little town, could be a haven for tutu lovers? But itâs true! From independent boutiques to bustling markets, you can find some hidden gems. Let me share my insider tips with you:
âThe Little Dress Shopâ: Located near the bus station, this shop offers a fantastic selection of stylish and affordable tutus. Their customer service is fantastic â I can always count on them for helpful styling tips.

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.
