Hey darlings, it’s your girl, Amelia here! Summer is finally here, and let’s be honest, we all just want to feel like ballerinas in beautiful tutus and flowing fabrics, right? So let’s talk tutu style, but not the kind you see on stage, oh no. We're talking everyday chic that takes inspiration from the graceful world of ballet. 😉
For a while now, Kenton has been buzzing with a unique and stylish energy. The vibrant community here has a knack for expressing themselves through fashion. It's a place where classic silhouettes blend seamlessly with modern trends, and where vintage finds shine brightly alongside cutting-edge pieces.
Think about it: tutus aren’t just for dancers anymore! The voluminous layers, the airy fabrics, the feminine elegance—tutu-inspired fashion has officially taken over the streets. I'm seeing tutus everywhere - from chic daytime looks to dazzling evening ensembles, and Kenton has its fair share of fabulous fashionistas rocking them with confidence.
Tutu Chic: Kenton Edition
Kenton, being a haven for trendsetters and vintage enthusiasts, offers a wealth of options for embracing the tutu trend. Here are some ways Kenton’s style icons are making tutus work for summer:
1. The Statement Tutu: This is your classic tulle skirt, all voluminous and elegant. Kenton's trendsetters pair it with graphic tees and chunky trainers for a sporty, street style vibe, or dress it up with a sleek blouse and strappy heels for a night out. I spotted a fabulous outfit at the Kenton Vintage Market - a pink and white layered tulle skirt with a classic white shirt, topped off with a bright pink fedora! Talk about an attention-grabbing look.
2. The Layered Tutu: Who said a tutu has to be a singular skirt? Layering tulle with other fabrics is a playful and trendy take on the tutu style. In Kenton, I’ve seen tulle layered under slip dresses or paired with sheer fabrics for an extra touch of ethereal beauty. Vintage Attic, on Kenton Road, has a treasure trove of sheer blouses and scarves that can be draped over your tutu, creating an incredibly unique and flowy silhouette.
3. The Everyday Tutu: Here’s where the trend gets truly versatile. Tutu elements – like the volume, the frills, the movement – are easily integrated into everyday looks. Consider a tiered, ruffled midi skirt for a picnic in the park, or a lightweight tulle overlay to add a dash of drama to a casual dress. Kenton’s Anya Boutique is known for their chic midi skirts and beautiful flowing tops, perfect for a modern tutu-inspired look.
Tutu Style Tips for Kenton Fashionistas:
Embrace Colour: Like many fashionistas in Kenton, I love to inject bold, bright colours into my outfits! This summer, go all out with sunshine yellows, electric pinks, and juicy oranges! Think a turquoise layered tutu with a bold white graphic tee and sleek sandals.
Accessorize Wisely: Tutus are all about creating a graceful silhouette, so opt for accessories that compliment that style. Delicate chains, elegant hoop earrings, and simple sandals are your best friends. Bijoux, a charming independent jewellery store on Kenton Lane, has stunning accessories that’ll perfectly elevate your tutu-inspired look.
Get Creative with Vintage Finds: Kenton's vintage scene is thriving! Embrace the beauty of second-hand finds. Try incorporating lace trims, vintage brooches, and satin scarves with your tutus. There's something wonderfully unique and empowering about wearing pieces with history!
