Tutus: The Latest Trend!

Oh, darlings! The rumour mill has been churning and the fashionistas have been flapping their feathered boas in anticipation, but now it's official! Tutus are BACK, and they’re not just for the Bolshoi anymore! This season, the chicest swans have flocked to a new trend: embracing the tutus!

We've seen whispers of this burgeoning trend on the streets, with glimpses of tutus on trendy art gallery openings and a few brave fashionistas even incorporating them into their brunch attire. (You heard right, darling - breakfast cocktails and a little tulle!)

This sartorial revolution seems to have originated on 28th October 1997, the exact date when some unnamed, and likely very fashionable, individual was seen swanning about London wearing a pastel pink tulle tutu over their favourite designer jeans! (And don’t even get me started on the killer stilettos – they were divine!). And thus began a fashion movement. The internet went wild. Bloggers lost their minds. Even the Duchess of Cambridge, no stranger to the elegance of ballet, reportedly tried on a tutu during her weekly trip to the local Sainsbury’s! Now that’s what we call influence, darling!

But let's face it, this is not a simple fashion trend. It’s more of a "we dare you" challenge. A call to reclaim the joy of unabashed femininity. Of taking back our rightful place at the top of the sartorial mountain – as queens of our own little (tutu) empires!

And to prove that I'm not simply talking the talk (and yes, wearing a fabulous black velvet tutu with an extra frill over my jeans while I type this), here are a few things we can all take away from the tutu renaissance. (Darling, that’s just fancy for tutus are in!):

The New Tutu-tique

  • Less is more? Who needs more when you've got a tulle cloud swirling around you like a glorious ballet-inspired statement?
  • Breaking the rules: We don't have to stick with the traditional pink, darling. Embrace your inner peacock and find the colour that suits you! Let’s be honest, what’s more fierce than a black tutu? I’ve even spotted the odd electric blue one (swoon).
  • Wear your tutu with confidence: It's not just about what you wear, it's about how you wear it. Confidence radiates like a perfectly executed grand jeté, making every head turn and every whisper “that’s one chic lady.”
  • Experiment: Mix your tutu with all your wardrobe staples (think: denim jackets, leather jackets, and your best sweaters, you'll be surprised at the elegant combinations) - or even wear it over an evening gown! We all deserve a bit of sartorial playfulness, wouldn't you say?
  • Embrace your inner ballerina: No, darling, you don’t need a degree in ballet! This is a reminder that every single one of us has an inner dancer waiting to be unleashed! Wear your tutu, shimmy your way down the street, and show the world that being fashionable and feminine is as easy as a pirouette!

Now go forth, darling, and spin!

Yours in tulle,
