A Whirlwind of Style: September's Tutu-licious Trends
Dearest readers, the air is crisper, the days are shorter, and fashion is turning its eye towards the dance floor. September has brought us a delightful influx of ballet-inspired couture that has left us spinning with delight. This month's trends are not about copying the exact forms of ballet garments - it's about the essence. Think soft layers of tulle, graceful movement, and a nod to the art of the ballerina, whether it’s the elegant silhouette, a glimpse of a whimsical swirling skirt or a touch of feminine sparkle.
The Tutu’s Evolution
The tutu has always had an undeniable allure in fashion. Now we are seeing it morph and mature to elevate a range of ensembles. Think about the classic 'boule' tutu with layers of stiff netting, but not in its purest form, but refined, in the sense of a skirt or a top with a sheer ruffle that replicates the delicate layers of the boulé but without the formality.
- This month, we’ve been mesmerised by **[Brand name here]** who showed a tulle top with layered flounces - not too bulky, a beautifully structured silhouette.
- And **[Brand name here]** have really upped the ante with the *ethereal * tulle on a gorgeous flowing dress which had the softest hints of sparkle, but that wouldn't feel inappropriate for day.
But that doesn’t mean that all the tutus are about subtlety. If you're feeling bold, **[Brand name here]** are bringing out their signature ballet boots, this time encrusted in sparkly stones, that really will have heads turning, although you do need to have that certain amount of je ne sais quoi to carry it off.
