Southampton Shines in Tutu Tuesday!
It’s Tuesday, and that means one thing – tutu time! This week Southampton is practically radiating rainbow sparkle thanks to #tututuesday and a glorious showing of tulle in every shade imaginable. I love seeing everyone come together, flaunting their fabulous tutus in every style, from classic to contemporary.
The History of Tutu Tuesday You might be wondering where the whole Tutu Tuesday trend started. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when this fabulous tradition blossomed, but it’s been bubbling up for a few years now! What began as a playful nod to ballet and all things girly has transformed into a vibrant movement for celebrating individuality and supporting LGBTQ+ pride. Let's be honest, a good tutu can make anyone feel like a graceful, majestic swan, regardless of age or style. It’s a fantastic opportunity to unleash your inner ballerina and spread positivity.
Tutues For All Styles Oh, and the variety is incredible! You saw them all - vintage, sparkly, layered, bright, and those cute, little tutus that you wear on top of jeans. Who knew so much creative energy existed in a single piece of fabric! * **Classical Swans** – Those traditional tutus, the quintessential tutu, the ones with multiple layers and are often accompanied by a simple top and tights. The more layers, the more dramatic. They always add an elegant and captivating touch. * **Romantic Ballet Bows** - A classic for a reason, the romantic ballet tutu can create a sweet look that you can easily pair with a chic shirt and a cute top. They’re the ultimate combination of feminine grace and effortless charm. * **The Whimsical Layered Style** - This style embodies a more theatrical feel. It usually comes with extra volume. Layers are crucial, allowing for the dramatic twirling and flounces for which this style is known. * **Modern Tutu Magic** - Let’s be honest - modern tutus break the mould. A bold and artistic spin on the classic, featuring interesting shapes, asymmetrical cuts and a multitude of unconventional details.
Making Southampton a Tutu Wonderland For me, this movement isn't just about strutting our stuff, it’s also about a community coming together for a little sparkle and joy. Today, Southampton turned into a joyful spectacle. Everyone is rocking that tulle! There’s a feeling of connection, celebration and acceptance – something that we all need in the world.
Let's Tutu For Good Beyond the glitter and graceful pirouettes, #Tutuesday carries an important message of acceptance, inclusivity, and the beauty of being yourself. It’s a gentle reminder that we all have our own unique grace and power to shine, whether we’re in a tutu or our everyday clothes. So next time you’re thinking about your outfit choice, remember Tutu Tuesday - embrace your individuality, put on your favourite tulle, and spread a little love! **#tutupride** **#tututuesday** **#Southampton** **#tullelove**
