Hey lovelies! It’s your girl, Elara, back with another dose of fashion-forward ballet inspiration. We all know that Hornchurch has got it going on, but did you know that it's also a hidden gem for tutu fashionistas like myself? Forget the stuffy ballet schools – this summer, we’re turning the tutus up to 11 and making them an absolute must-have for your wardrobe.
So, grab your morning coffee and let’s get into it! We’ll be exploring some seriously hot tutu styles that are perfect for everything from a day at the beach to an evening out with the girls, all while embracing that classic ballerina vibe. And remember, babes, #tutustyle #tutufashion – let's spread the love! 💖
From the Stage to the StreetFirst things first: the traditional tutu is out! We’re ditching those rigid, itchy costumes and embracing tutus that feel fun, flirty, and feminine. Think billowing layers of tulle, delicate embellishments, and gorgeous colour combinations that scream summertime!
Here's what I'm loving for the 2023 summer season:
Pink Power: I mean, it’s no secret I have a penchant for all things pink. Think baby pinks, bubblegum pinks, coral pinks, even dusty pinks – it's the ultimate way to embody summer sweetness! Imagine a light, layered pink tutu with a white cotton tank top and a cute straw hat – summer chic in just a few pieces!
The Mini-Me Tutu: Short, sweet, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Think classic tutu vibes with a modern twist, featuring a shorter, flirtier length. Pair a mini-tutu with a statement top like a bold crop or a silky cami, some killer heels, and bam – you've got a look that's sure to turn heads.
Boho Babe: If you love your flowy silhouettes and bohemian charm, there's a tutu for you, too! Embrace the earthy colours, delicate textures, and statement-making details with a relaxed tutu made from layers of earthy toned tulle. Team it up with a flowing linen shirt, some vintage jewellery, and you've got the ultimate bohemian chic.
So you've got your dream tutu. Now, how do you rock it? Here’s my hot take: don’t be afraid to experiment! This is about taking a classic piece and turning it into a statement. Think layering textures, mixing prints, and finding your unique touch.
My top styling tips:
- Tutu as a Skirt: The simplest yet chicest option! Slip on a plain top or a cute vintage blouse, add some trendy accessories, and you're good to go!
- Play with Layering: I’m a huge fan of layered looks. Over a tee, with a cropped cardigan, with a chic leather jacket – there’s endless fun!
- The Power of Accessories: Accessories can really elevate your tutu look. Statement earrings, chunky sandals, a cool belt – you can completely transform your outfit!
- Don’t Forget the Hair! Hair up in a ballerina bun or messy top knot, some beachy waves – the hair possibilities are endless!

Think tutu with a vintage tee for a casual brunch look, tutu with a classic white blouse for a romantic date night, or even tutu with a leather jacket for a street style vibe that screams “I'm a fashion queen.”
Embracing Your Inner Ballerina: The Final NoteLet's face it, we all have a little ballerina in us, and this summer is the perfect time to let it shine! Forget the rules, embrace the unexpected, and unleash your creativity. Experiment with different colours, styles, and textures until you find your own signature #tutustyle. Remember, babes, tutus are for everyone, and they’re a way to embrace the playful, confident, and uniquely beautiful woman within! So get out there and strut your stuff! ✨
