Hey darlings! It’s your girl, insert your name here - a ballet enthusiast and tutu connoisseur - coming to you live from the sunny (and sometimes unexpectedly rainy!) streets of Slough. This week, we’re diving into the exciting world of tutu fashion - not just on stage, but for those fabulous off-duty moments when you want to feel like a ballerina, even if your only dance is the one you do in your kitchen while whipping up a smoothie.
I mean, who doesn’t love a tutu? The billowing layers of tulle, the whimsical twirls, the effortless chic? This delightful piece of apparel truly transcends the boundaries of ballet. From a simple ballerina tutu to a grand-layered, voluminous statement tutu, the beauty of this garment is that it can be dressed up or down, styled with endless possibilities. But let’s face it, there's a magical charm to tutu fashion.
Summer's the perfect season to let those tutu dreams flow freely! We're blessed with sunshine (most days!), blooming gardens, and a plethora of fabulous summer events, perfect for rocking a tutu look. So let’s explore some inspiring ideas to make your slough-worthy tutu dreams come true:
Pinkalicious: My personal favourite - let's embrace that quintessential "ballet" colour! Pink just screams summer romance and carefree elegance, and what better way to showcase it than with a fluffy pink tutu? Now, the trick is finding the right pink. This summer I'm loving pale pinks and blush - a more subtle yet sophisticated take on the colour - think delicate and soft. But if you want to go bold and beautiful, why not choose a vibrant bubblegum pink, a hue that’ll turn heads and make you the star of every summer gathering!
Tutu Styling Tips: Think outside the barre, lovelies! Pair a pink tutu with a white cropped top and high-waisted denim shorts for a cute and casual look perfect for a picnic in the park or an afternoon browsing the shops in Slough’s bustling high street.
Want to amp up the glamour? A sleek silk cami and sparkling silver heels take your tutu look from picnic to party. For an even more dramatic effect, layer your pink tutu over a simple white midi dress.
Prints & Patterns: Pink’s a classic, but why not explore a little bit of pattern play? Floral prints are always a hit for summer, especially against a backdrop of pastel-pink tulle. Imagine a gorgeous lavender print flowing softly with the wind! It’s like you've walked straight out of a fairytale!
And for a more playful touch, consider polka dots. They bring a retro, fun vibe, and you can choose between classic black and white or even go bold with pops of colour on your tulle. Think bright pinks and vibrant yellows for an energetic twist.
Tutu Styling Tips: To avoid looking like you're stepping onto a stage, play with proportions! Balance a bold print with a simple, plain top like a white crop top or a simple, fitted T-shirt. Alternatively, a black off-shoulder top with floral tutu will be a dreamy and romantic choice! Let your tutu do the talking, darling!
Going Green: For the eco-conscious dancer (yes, we exist!) let’s go green! This year, consider sustainable fabrics like organic cotton, recycled polyester, or even plant-based materials like bamboo for your tutu. And bonus - it's just as soft and flowy, ensuring a comfortable, ethically stylish ensemble.
Tutu Styling Tips: Go bold with a sustainable statement! Pair your green tutu with a vintage-inspired blouse or a flowing floral maxi dress. You'll be serving sustainable chic in no time!
Accessorising for that Extra Wow: Remember - the right accessories can elevate even the simplest of tutu looks. Strappy heels, beaded necklaces, dainty hair clips, delicate earrings, and matching clutches - all of these are your BFFs for adding that final touch of sparkle and sophistication. Don't forget, you can always create your own flair with homemade jewellery or embellishments. Just unleash your inner creative dancer!
Shop Local: While we’re all about tutu dreams, it's good to know where to find those amazing tutus! There's a fantastic local ballet studio in Slough that has a delightful range of tutus, from the classical to the modern, to those perfect for everyday styling! insert the name of the ballet studio if you know it!
So don't be shy, ladies, go grab your favourite tutu, twirl those worries away, and let your Slough tutu fashion shine this summer!
Until next time, happy dancing (and tutuing!)
