Hey everyone! It’s me, Tilly, your resident tutu enthusiast, back with another fashion-filled blog post. This time, we're diving headfirst into the vibrant world of summer tutu styles right here in beautiful Paignton!
I've got to admit, there’s nothing quite like stepping out in a dazzling tutu. It instantly elevates your style, transforming an ordinary outfit into something truly magical. And as a passionate ballet dancer, I can't help but embrace the artistic, free-spirited vibes that a well-crafted tutu embodies.
So, where can you find these tutu treasures, you ask? Look no further than our very own Paignton! From quaint boutiques nestled down charming lanes to bustling high streets, the town is bursting with delightful finds to elevate your summer wardrobe.
Let’s start our tutu journey at The Fabric Emporium on Queen Street. It's a haven for fabric lovers and crafters, offering an eclectic selection of textures, patterns, and colours, including a delightful stash of tulle! Imagine the endless possibilities! A classic pale pink tutu, perhaps, or a whimsical turquoise one? The choices are boundless! You can even add your own flair by incorporating shimmering beads or a touch of lace.
The Vintage Vaults on Torbay Road, on the other hand, offers a unique selection of pre-loved fashion gems, including an incredible selection of vintage tutus! It's a treasure hunt that’s guaranteed to deliver! Imagine finding a delicate blush tutu from the 1950s, adorned with vintage lace, or a dazzlingly sparkly silver number from the disco era.
For a touch of contemporary glamour, venture to Belle & Bloom on the Harbour. Their elegant collections are infused with modern touches, making them ideal for incorporating into everyday wear. Their beautiful white tutu dress with delicate silver embellishments is perfect for a summer soirée!
Of course, you don’t have to stick to the classic ballerina silhouette. This summer, embrace playful experimentation and embrace layered tutus! Think about layering a short tutu over your favourite flowy summer dress, or pairing a long, full tutu with a cropped denim jacket. It's all about embracing individuality and playing with different shapes and textures.
Now, let’s talk about color. Think bold and vibrant! Coral pinks, shimmering turquoise, sunny yellows – go wild with hues that capture the essence of a joyful summer day! Add a pop of colour to your summer look by incorporating a colourful tutu in your outfit.
Don't be afraid to mix and match! Combining bold colours and contrasting styles can create surprisingly beautiful results. I’m a sucker for a pink and blue combination. The combination of girly pinks and nautical blues screams summer to me.
A good rule of thumb: Keep your accessories simple and elegant. This will allow your tutu to be the star of the show. Choose simple earrings or necklaces in complementary tones and perhaps a classic black or white handbag.
And finally, a splash of personality. Personalise your tutu with unique touches like fabric flowers, sparkling pins, or hand-painted details. Let your creative spirit shine!
Don’t forget to accessorise with a stylish, bright summery smile!
Paignton is a wonderful place for a summer filled with swirling tutus. Explore its shops, be adventurous, embrace the beauty of summer fashion, and above all, let your inner tutu enthusiast shine!
So there you have it, my loves. Don't forget to share your amazing tutu looks with me on social media using the hashtags #tutustyle and #tutufashion!

With a twirl, Tilly 💕
