Ballet on the Runway: October’s Tutus are All About That Tutu!
As the leaves turn and the air grows crisper, it's not just the autumnal colours that are inspiring our wardrobes; it’s the ballet, darlings! This October, the fashion world is clearly under the spell of the graceful ballerina, with the classic tutu making a triumphant comeback on the catwalks.
No longer confined to the stage, the tutu has sashayed into mainstream fashion in a series of daring reinterpretations.
- Balletcore: The Balletcore trend is very much in full bloom, with fashion houses taking inspiration from the ballet world with tutus in soft, romantic pastel shades and delicate lace, ideal for creating that ethereal fairy tale aesthetic. These tutus are perfect for a dreamy autumnal look, especially with chunky knitted cardies and ankle boots for a touch of grunge.
- The Power Tutu: This month saw designers embrace the rebellious side of ballet. Black leather tutus, complete with chainmail accents and chunky boots, are giving a punk rock edge to this once traditionally sweet staple. It's powerful, edgy and a perfect example of how the tutu can be a fashion statement, not just a symbol of classical beauty.
Forget the prim and proper princess vibe of days gone by. The tutus we are seeing are all about embracing your inner diva! Whether it's the delicate romanticism of a pastel tulle tutu or the rock 'n' roll attitude of a leather creation, there's a tutu style out there for every fashionista. So step into the spotlight and let your inner ballerina shine this autumn.
