It's Tuesday, darling! And you know what that means? It's time to embrace the most fabulous day of the week, where tutus take centre stage and our inner disco diva shines. That's right, it's Tutu Tuesday, and let me tell you, Andover's really upped its tutu game. This week has been bubbling with tutus! From classic, fluffy ballerina styles to quirky, modern, fashion-forward tutus, there's a tutu out there for every occasion, for every personality.

Let's get real: What makes Andover Tutu Tuesday so special?

  • The sheer diversity of tutu styles - We're not just talking about your grandma's traditional tutu. Think pink feather boas, glitter, disco balls, you name it! There are tutus that are bursting with colours and patterns, all the way to those sleek and minimal designs that perfectly capture that effortlessly chic look.
  • The enthusiasm - Andover is a town that truly embraces its tutus. People aren't afraid to make a statement with their style and it's incredibly inspiring. There's something contagious about the sheer joy of a good Tutu Tuesday that's enough to make anyone want to twirl!
  • And of course, the Disco Snail - He's become a bit of a celebrity. This little fella, who loves to rock out in his shimmering shell, is truly the mascot of our #discosnail tutu craze!

Speaking of fashion inspiration, I've been seeing some seriously dreamy looks lately. Think delicate tulle that billows in the breeze, paired with an oversized T-shirt for a touch of street style. It's all about embracing your own personal style, mixing and matching until you create something completely unique. But if you need a little help with styling, here's my take on this season's hottest tutu trends.

Classic ballerina tutu: This is a timeless style that’s always in vogue, so make it your own with an unexpected element:

  • Pair it with an oversized, brightly colored knitted jumper for that perfect blend of cute and cool.
  • Top it off with a statement necklace that complements the colour of your tutu, adding an extra touch of flair.
  • And don't forget those stylish Mary Jane heels. I’m obsessed with these at the moment!

The Short tutu: These tutus are the ultimate way to give any outfit that touch of fun. If you’re looking for a party piece, this is it:

  • Let the tutu take centre stage by pairing it with a plain black crop top or T-shirt. Keep it simple but make a statement!
  • Complete your outfit with platform sneakers, creating a contrasting silhouette. This adds that effortless chic edge.
  • Finish it all off with a dramatic red lip and you’re good to go!

The long, flowy tulle tutu - This style oozes romance. Think Princess Leia vibes but with a modern twist!

  • Style it with a casual graphic T-shirt tucked into your tutu and let the layers billow. The contrast makes the tutu stand out in the best possible way!
  • Elevate it even more with a pair of heels and your favorite jewellery - this makes the perfect date-night outfit.

Whatever your tutu style, make sure you’re embracing your inner dance spirit. And Andover's been the place to be on Tuesdays. It's become a celebration of self-expression, with everyone proudly twirling their way into the week.
