Lowestoft's Tutu Tuesday: A Dive into the Disco with a Touch of Pink
Oh my gosh, darlings! Lowestoft is the place to be on Tuesdays - it's the unofficial capital of the cutest, most fabulous, and funkiest tutus, thanks to the trendiest bunch of people this side of the Thames!
If you haven't caught wind of Tutu Tuesday yet, then, honestly, have you been living under a rock? This dazzling trend, starting with a whisper and blossoming into a tidal wave of tutus and sequins, is making its way through Lowestoft like a dolphin leaping through the waves. This movement, it's about embracing joy, celebrating individuality, and, most importantly, reminding ourselves that there's nothing wrong with twirling around, glitter cannons at the ready.
For me, the beauty of #Tututuesday lies in the variety. It's not about fitting into a pre-defined mould - it's about each person putting their own spin on the classic tutu, whether they choose to flaunt a fluffy tulle princess style, embrace a sleek modern look, or unleash their inner 70s disco queen. I love seeing everything from romantic, diaphanous tulle to sharp, graphic lines. And of course, a little disco flair with some sequin detail never hurts!
I've spotted some seriously unique takes on the classic Tutu Tuesday theme that would make even the most hardened fashionista do a double take:
- One lovely lady opted for a pale pink tutu - the colour of sugared almonds - paired with a simple white t-shirt and white trainers. It was simple but chic - a total style statement without going over the top.
- And another group of ladies really embraced the 70s vibe with floor-length, feathered tutus - you know, the kind with all those layers of tulle and the shimmer that catches the light like the sea itself. You can tell they took inspiration from disco music icons like Donna Summer, a queen of style, whose tunes we all love.
- For a twist, some have started using the iconic "disco dolphin" as their symbol - you know, the one that brings that playful, 70s, "anything goes" feel? The "Disco Dolphin" logo (which you might have spotted emblazoned across a handbag, or sparkling across a tutu itself - you never know!) makes an extra fabulous touch to an already extraordinary event.
- Don't forget the accessories, ladies! We're seeing everything from sparkly hair clips to feathered boas to glittering face masks. These bold details turn an average Tuesday into an actual event. #tututuesday #discodolphin #fashion #style
