Styling Your Tutu: Tips from a Pro
Once you've found your perfect tutu, the fun really begins. It’s time to channel your inner fashionista and get creative. Here are a few styling tips from your favourite tutu-loving blogger:
For a Classic Look: Pair a simple, white tulle tutu with a sleek black leotard and a pair of pointed-toe flats. Add a touch of pink with a delicate necklace or hair ribbon.
For a Whimsical Look: Play with textures and colours! Mix a bright pink tutu with a lace top, or a floral print dress. Add some sparkly ballet flats or sandals for extra flair.
For a Casual Look: Toss on a cute top, cardigan, or bomber jacket over a tulle tutu for an effortlessly stylish everyday look. A pair of chic sneakers will complete this look to perfection.
For a Romantic Look: Pair a dreamy white or blush-pink tutu with a flowing silk blouse or lace camisole. Accessorise with dainty jewellery and a delicate headband.
