Hey gorgeous gals! It's your favourite ballet blogger, Lily, back with a whirlwind of tulle and sunshine, all about the hottest Tutu Trend hitting the streets of Hove this summer. Forget floral dresses, this season's about embracing your inner ballerina and rocking some serious tutu fashion. Think dreamy twirls, chic ensembles, and a whole lot of pink – oh, how I adore pink! 😉
For a while now, tutus have been gracing the catwalks of Paris, Milan, and even London! But it's here in Hove, where the beach meets the beautiful Brighton Pier, that this trend truly flourishes. From beachside strolls to sunset cocktails, Hove's embracing the whimsical, feminine energy that only a tutu can bring.
But let's be clear: this ain't your grandmother's tutu. We're talking elevated, stylish takes on the classic. Think contemporary designs with unexpected materials, sleek silhouettes, and a vibrant pop of colour (naturally, pink is my go-to!).
Hove's Tutu Heroes
Where can you find these magical, twirling creations? Look no further than Hove's very own fashion haven, The Lanes. Hidden amongst the independent boutiques, you'll find some true tutu-loving gems:
- The Dancing Dress Boutique: My personal favourite! They've got an incredible range of tutus, from sleek and minimalist to utterly dramatic. They're the best for finding statement pieces with an individual flair. Think iridescent colours, delicate embroidery, and that perfect blend of modern and vintage.
- Pink Paradise: True to its name, Pink Paradise is a haven for all things pink! From delicate pastel pink tulle skirts to bolder fuchsia ensembles, they're your one-stop shop for adding that playful touch of pink to your tutu look.
- The Second Hand Ballet Shop: Ever conscious of ethical fashion, this charming boutique offers pre-loved tutus at affordable prices. This is where I score all my vintage gems! I've found some real treasures here – vintage silk tutus with faded elegance and delicate embellishments. A true vintage treasure trove for the fashionista who likes her tutus with a bit of history.
Style Tips from a Tutu Queen
Let me spill the tea on styling your very own tutu for Hove's sunny season:
Beachside Bliss: Imagine: the gentle sea breeze in your hair, the warmth of the sun on your skin, and a delicate tutu cascading around your legs. Sounds idyllic, doesn't it? Choose a simple, flowy tutu, preferably in a pastel shade like peach or sky blue. Pair it with a plain white t-shirt or a lightweight knitted sweater for an effortlessly chic look. And of course, no beach look is complete without a pair of stylish sunglasses!
Cocktails with a Tutu Twist: Ready for a night out on Hove's bustling scene? Opt for a structured tutu with bold embellishments like sequins or feathers. Pair it with a chic black crop top, heels (a little lift for that graceful ballerina feel), and a statement necklace. To really amp up the glamour, try a bold red lipstick or a sparkly eyeshadow. Remember, confidence is key!
Daytime Chic: This is all about the versatile nature of the tutu! Go for a midi-length tulle skirt with a delicate lace top for a daytime picnic in Hove Park. Or pair a shorter, more whimsical tutu with a classic white blouse and some cute ankle boots for an edgy afternoon at the local markets. Don't forget a cute straw hat for that perfect summer touch.
The Pink Factor
Pink is definitely having its moment, and what better way to embrace it than with a dreamy tutu! It’s my absolute favourite colour, and I just can’t get enough of it! Think blush-pink ballet shoes peeking from under a classic white tutu for a touch of whimsy or a hot pink tutu layered over a denim jacket for a playful and vibrant street style vibe. It’s a colour that screams fun, femininity, and, most importantly, confident style!
