2024 Summer Tutu Styles Tutu Styles in Fashion in Sutton

Hello, lovelies! It's your girl, Sarah, back with another blog post about all things tutu-licious! Summer is in full swing, and here in Sutton, we're all about soaking up the sunshine, enjoying the longer days, and embracing that relaxed summer vibe. What better way to celebrate the season than with a touch of ballet-inspired fashion? Think elegant lines, flowy fabrics, and of course, that quintessential tutu silhouette.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Tutus? Really? Aren't those just for ballerinas?” Absolutely not! Tutu styles have evolved from the dance world and blossomed into a major trend in fashion. Think playful, romantic, and effortlessly chic.

And what’s better than pink for summer? We all know that pink is the queen of colours! Whether you prefer bubblegum, blush, or a deeper fuchsia, there’s a shade of pink out there that will flatter every skin tone. Plus, it’s the perfect way to add a touch of whimsy and femininity to any outfit.

For the Sutton girl about town, the key to embracing the tutu trend is finding the perfect balance between elegance and practicality. I'm all about those easy, effortless looks that can seamlessly take you from a morning coffee with the girls to a casual dinner date under the stars.

Let's dive into some specific pieces that'll have you twirling into summer in style.

• The Classic Tulle Skirt: This is a must-have for any tutu-lover. Think a knee-length, delicate tulle skirt in a pastel pink. Pair it with a simple white tank top and sneakers for a laid-back look, or dress it up with a silk blouse and heels for a night out. • The Layered Tulle Skirt: For a more dramatic, layered look, opt for a tulle skirt with multiple layers. These skirts are usually longer and can be dressed down with a T-shirt and denim jacket, or dressed up with a sparkly top and high heels. • The Tutu Skirt with a Twist: Get creative with textures! A satin, silk, or even a metallic tulle skirt is sure to add a unique touch to any outfit.

• The Off-The-Shoulder Tutu Top: For a summer-ready look that’s both elegant and breezy, opt for an off-the-shoulder tutu top. This style will accentuate your shoulders and can be dressed down with denim shorts or a skirt, or paired with trousers for a more polished look. • The Strappy Tutu Top: Strappy tops with tutu-like layers are another amazing summer choice. Think delicate, flowy straps, a playful silhouette, and just a hint of pink for that perfect summer glow.

Don’t underestimate the power of accessories! Tutu-inspired accents can add a touch of flair to any outfit. Here are some ideas:

• Headbands and Scarves: Delicate pink ribbons, floral headbands, and delicate satin scarves all have that soft ballet-inspired vibe. • Hair Ornaments: Pretty clips, sparkling barrettes, or dainty pearl headbands. • Footwear: Don’t forget about your feet! A pair of pointed ballet flats or delicate, open-toe sandals can add a chic touch. If you’re feeling brave, even a pair of pink ballerina-style sneakers can complete the look.
• Tote Bags: A soft pink tote bag with a delicate ribbon handle can be a stylish way to carry your essentials.

There are no rules to this, girls! Mix and match your favourite tutu-inspired pieces to create looks that are uniquely your own. I’ve found some amazing outfits on online shops like ASOS and Zara – and Sutton’s High Street has some gorgeous independent boutiques where you can find those special pieces.

For me, it’s more than just a trend. Ballet fashion is about graceful lines, expressive movement, and the beautiful interplay of fabric and form. It’s about finding the balance between delicate and strong, playful and elegant, just like the ballet itself. So, go out there and own your summer style, Sutton! You got this, lovelies.
