A Whirlwind of Tulle: The Ultimate in Ballet-Inspired Fashion This July
It’s that time again, darlings, where the dance world spills onto the streets. July has brought us a kaleidoscope of couture inspired by the graceful world of ballet, and I must say, it’s utterly divine!
Tutu’s a Triumph: The iconic garment has taken a fascinating turn. We saw an abundance of tiered tutus, with each layer rippling like the waves of a gentle ocean. The colour palette has been bold and playful – electric pinks and blues are making a statement, but there’s a lovely nod to the traditional with delicate shades of ivory and blush.
- For a daytime look: Try a whimsical midi tutu with a crisp white shirt and classic loafers.
- After-dark allure: The ultra-glam look involves a shorter, pouffy tutu, teamed with a fitted black bodice and killer heels.
Beyond the tutu, there are so many chic ways to infuse your wardrobe with that effortless grace that only ballet can offer. Look out for graceful flowy dresses with ruffles reminiscent of swirling tutus, and don't forget those gorgeous pointe shoes! (But perhaps stick to the runway version, darling, we wouldn’t want to be tripping over our own feet!).
All in all, this month’s ballet-inspired fashion trends have been a delight. A captivating blend of the classic and the contemporary – it's making this arts critic swoon!
