A Whirlwind of Tutus: Ballet's Influence on Summer Fashion
The summer has truly begun, and so has the influx of the ballet's influence in the world of fashion. While tulle may be associated with the springtime, there is something especially divine about the sheer, billowing material when paired with the carefree attitude of summer.
We saw it everywhere this month, from the ethereal designs of Dior to the edgy streetwear of Off-White. The key, darling, is to not be afraid of a bit of drama!
- The Ballerina Bloom: Delicate florals took centre stage this month. Think billowing skirts with delicate patterns inspired by Victorian gardens and Victorian ballet performances. The ethereal colours of the season were on display, like a field of swaying wildflowers.
- The "Je ne sais quoi" Factor: A playful approach to the tutu is key. Embrace a touch of irreverence by pairing your tulle with statement jewelry, a leather jacket, or even a graphic tee.
- Lengthen it Out: Whether you opt for a short and playful skirt or a longer, more elegant style, don't shy away from playing with volume! Embrace that airiness of movement and bring a bit of ballet’s grace into your summer attire.
The overall vibe is one of whimsical elegance, a playful twist on the classic ballet dancer aesthetic. As the season warms up, embrace this trend with panache, embracing the romance and fluidity of the tutu!
