East Ham: A Tutu-tastic Tuesday

Okay, babes, grab your sparkles and your dancing shoes because Tuesday just got a whole lot more fabulous! Today is the day we've all been waiting for, the day where we get to strut our stuff and celebrate all things tutu - it's #Tututuesday, and trust me, this is one fashion trend that's gonna make you wanna twirl all night long.

Now, you might be thinking, "A tutu on a Tuesday? Is this a joke?" But I'm here to tell you, darlings, it's a whole mood. We're talking about the glorious, twirly, billowing, tulle heaven. The kind of sartorial statement that lets everyone know you're ready to take on the week with a touch of glamour and a whole lot of sass.

As a proud member of the dance community (and a bona fide ballet addict) who absolutely loves pink, the disco vibes of #tututuesday just speak to me. And you know what? They're speaking to the rest of the East Ham crowd, too! There was so much tutus going on today. I mean, I’ve been seeing some real #discotutu inspo in the streets, the supermarket, and even in the local library. And it's not just any old tutu; these gals are stepping up their tutu game!

From the classic, ballerina-esque poufy pink ones that make you feel like you're gliding through a cloud to the modern, funky short skirts, East Ham is practically a tutu parade. Then there’s the knee-length numbers in the brightest colours – yellow, lime green, orange you glad? – and I saw one girl rocking a fab blue tutu paired with a neon pink tank top, just like the iconic 1970s Disco look, it was *everything*.

We even had some tutu enthusiasts embracing the power of the disco snail. It’s kind of a #discosnail trend you know - it’s like you’re stuck in your shell and you need a disco ball to find the way out – with an actual, real-life snail donning a pink sparkly tutu to create some serious disco vibes on the local green spaces. Talk about #Tututuesday inspiration! This one is seriously earning #discostyle #stylingsnail #snailtastic hashtags, folks.

The thing is, a tutu on Tuesday isn’t just a fashion statement – it’s a state of mind. It’s saying "yes to fabulous,” it’s “ embracing the inner dancing queen.” You know you’re channeling Donna Summer or The Bee Gees or even some high kicks from "Saturday Night Fever" in your mind when you slip that sparkly skirt over your jeans and step out the door in your pink and blue ballet pumps. And that’s ok. I get it.

In fact, you don’t even need to wear a tutu. All you need is that “take-charge” kind of energy and let's just say you're the best version of yourself. Own it, sister! And the whole town is with you. Because we all know – life's too short to be anything but a fabulous, fabulous disco queen!

Here are some #tututuesday trends that got my attention:

  • The Ballet Tutu with a Twist – The classic poufy tutu but with a contemporary twist like a leather jacket and some seriously killer boots.
  • The Disco Diva Tutu – Short skirts and lots of sequins, think Studio 54 on a Tuesday. This is the queen bee of the #discotutu.
  • The Bohemian Chic Tutu – Layered with floral fabric for that floaty, ethereal boho look, you know you’re rocking a festival look from this one.

So, next Tuesday, you're invited. It’s the day where we all dance, we twirl, we show the world our fabulous selves with #tututuesday in East Ham!
