Hello, Darlaston! Itâs your favourite tutu-obsessed fashion blogger, Chloe, here, and boy, is it a hot one! The sunâs out, the birds are singing, and⌠well, you know me, I'm thinking about tutus.
Summer's here, and let's be honest, that means it's time to unleash the pink, the sparkle, and the sheer bliss of tutu fashion! For you ballet bunnies and anyone who just loves a bit of playful, fabulous flair, there's nothing like a well-chosen tutu to lift your mood (and your style) on those warm, sunny days.
But, hold on, itâs not all about pink tulle and sequins â though we definitely embrace both! This summer, Darlaston, weâre getting creative. Let's dive into the exciting trends, local finds, and endless ways to make tutus your go-to summer staple, no matter if you're hitting the streets, the beach, or the dance studio!
Tutu Style 1: The Everyday Ballerina
Think cute and practical with a hint of twirl! We're all about effortless chic with a twist. Imagine a blush pink tulle tutu, layered over a flowy white tank top and your favourite high-waisted denim shorts. Throw on a denim jacket for cooler evenings, add some statement gold hoop earrings, and maybe even a playful, fluffy pink handbag â perfect for carrying your essentials. Trust me, this look is as chic as it is comfy!
*Where to Find It: *Darlaston Market is a haven for affordable fashion finds. Youâre bound to find a charming vintage tank top or even a pair of cute denim shorts perfect for this look!

Tutu Style 2: The Beach Babe Ballerina
The summer heat calls for light, airy outfits, and who says we can't be fashionable while chilling by the sea? Let's channel the "free-spirited beach bunny" vibe with a classic black tutu, paired with a flowy white maxi dress. Add a cute straw hat, some chunky beaded sandals, and don't forget a stylish tote bag to hold your sunnies and beach essentials. You're ready to hit the beach, grab an ice cream, and make waves in style.
