Here are my top tips for styling your spring tutus and making the most of your ballet wardrobe:
- Embrace Pastels: This season, think soft pinks, buttery yellows, lavender hues, and mint greens.
- Mix and Match: Pair your tulle tutu with a delicate floral print blouse, or style a leotard with a high-waisted skirt for a chic and playful look.
- Accessorise, Accessorise, Accessorise: Statement jewellery, a delicate headband, or even a floral hair clip can elevate any look. Don’t be afraid to play around!
