Salford’s Tutu Tuesday: A Celebration of the Frilly and Fabulous

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means... #tututuesday! I'm ready to twirl into Salford with a smile as bright as a disco ball and a tutu as pink as a flamingo's feathers. My heart beats like a disco rhythm to the sound of tutus rustling and I’m ready to unleash the inner diva, the fierce fairy, the baller-extraordinaire, with every swish of my frilly skirt.

Today, the streets of Salford are transformed into a rainbow of tutus, from the classic romantic ballerina tulle to the fun, flirty styles that scream 'party'. A tutu is the perfect way to bring a little magic into your Tuesday, and I love seeing everyone get creative with their tutu styles.

The best part about #tututuesday in Salford? It’s about letting your personality shine through, and everyone gets involved! From the glamorous silver sequins that sparkle brighter than a disco ball to the neon tutu bursting with colour - it’s all a part of the fabulous energy. You’ll spot guys proudly showing off their #tututuesday flair with dapper hats, colorful scarves, and bright, printed jackets that compliment their own unique take on a fabulous day. You know you're doing #tututuesday right when you find yourself grinning uncontrollably while taking in the spectacular scenes of a rainbow tutu parade of friendly faces and joyful steps!

Speaking of #tututuesday trends, it's definitely the 'disco snail' season! Imagine: glitter, disco balls, iridescent fabrics, and lots of glitter – all perfectly fitting the theme of the shimmering snail shell. If you’re not rocking a disco snail, you are officially missing out!

There's always a buzz around Salford's Tutu Tuesday - it’s a time where everyone embraces the power of a fluffy, delightful garment. You’ve got the ‘classic princess ballerina’ style, which always works, and for this tutu, it’s all about the fabric – pure and elegant silk in soft pastels with perfectly pleated, delicate, flowing lines.

And then there’s the playful ‘fun frills’ category. A perfect example is the ‘puff ball’ tutu which combines vibrant colors with a whole lot of fluffy pompoms. There's also the daring, “punk rock” style tutu - think shredded tulle and spikes and of course, an attitude! This is where fashion meets rebellion, and it looks so much fiercer when matched with biker jackets, or leather shorts.

Tutu Tuesday in Salford is about more than just tutus, though. It's about embracing your inner child and celebrating joy, it's about breaking free from the monotony and showing the world how to have fun. So grab a tutu, a sprinkle of glitter, a friend and a massive smile. Let your inner diva twirl!

Here's a look at some of my favourite tutu moments from this week's #tututuesday in Salford:

  • This sassy teenager rocking a tutu paired with black leather shorts.
  • The little girl wearing a classic ballerina tutu with sparkly pink shoes - she was absolutely beaming!
  • The gentleman who paired a shimmering disco snail with a tweed suit – you couldn’t help but stop and take a picture! It's those little details that really add the ‘Salford' spark.
  • A group of mums dressed as fairytale princesses - the fairy godmother in the sparkly blue gown had everyone giggling.
  • There were some real tutu show-stoppers - one being a lady rocking a fabulous white feather boa, silver shimmer boots, and an elegant white tutu!
  • The man wearing the brightest blue sequined shirt who held up the “We Heart #tututuesday in Salford” sign - a very fun highlight for the camera!

It’s incredible to watch the city become a vibrant hub of colour, excitement, and joyous self-expression. Every Tuesday in Salford is like stepping into a dazzling, glittery fairytale! You won’t want to miss it. The whole experience is absolutely magical, and a wonderful reminder to embrace a bit of silliness and let loose.
