Tutu Tuesday in Wichita, Kansas: A Celebration of Dance and Style #tututuesday
Okay, tutu lovers, let's get real! There's just something magical about slipping on a tutu. It doesn't matter if it's a classic, romantic, or whimsical style—a tutu is always going to turn heads. As a professional ballerina in the heartland, Wichita, Kansas, I’m lucky to experience that feeling every day. Today, though, I'm celebrating the simple joy of a tutu. I'm talking #tututuesday, folks, a chance to break out your best dancewear and celebrate this iconic garment in all its glory.
Here's my quick rundown of tutu trends to look for. Classic Romanticism - The *Romantic Tutu* with its layers of soft tulle, evokes a sense of elegance and grace. This tutu is an embodiment of a dream-like, storybook feeling, perfect for ballet, recitals, and, yes, even *Tutu Tuesday*. Think about those swirling layers as you dance like a snowflake. This style usually sits at the waist and is best when made in the colors of blush, ivory, light blue, and pastel shades. If you're thinking of *Tutu Tuesday*, be sure to wear it with a fitted top or even a long-sleeved leotard. A romantic bun with a ballerina chignon is also a winner. The Statement Maker - The *Contemporary Tutu*. A shorter, fitted skirt-like silhouette is always popular. These are typically made of more structured fabrics that hug your legs and flow. The key to this is the color! The brighter the color, the bolder the statement. Think vibrant pink, bright teal, sunny yellow, or shocking crimson. **Whimsical and Funky** - The *Costume Tutu* (aka, let’s go wild with color and fun!) is the perfect place to be a ballerina with panache. I see colorful stripes, polka dots, sequined appliqués, even flowers on these styles! These can have the skirt at the knee or above. Be creative and have fun! These are perfect for any level of ballerina to express her own style! Beyond the Barre Now, it's not just about ballet. You can rock a tutu in a multitude of ways! Let your style personality shine. Here are a few *Tutu Tuesday* outfit ideas for any setting, inspired by the many styles: **A Day in the City:** Combine a classic tulle skirt with a leather jacket, and platform boots to make a bold fashion statement. Rock that city style with a little tulle! **An Evening Out:** Add a little shimmer to your outfit! For a night out on the town, you could pair a **contemporary** style tutu with a body-hugging top, heels, and jewelry! **Just For Fun**: Go all out! Don’t limit yourself to the *classic* style on **Tutu Tuesday**! Get ready to have some fun with **costume** inspired designs! Mix and match. Use a long t-shirt with a whimsical skirt. Make a belt out of a ribbon! It’s your chance to make it yours! The point of **Tutu Tuesday** is that you can get creative. Don't forget, #tututuesday is more than just a hashtag; it’s a way of celebrating movement, grace, and, of course, the joy of dancing. You don’t have to be a ballerina or even a dancer. It's a chance for anyone and everyone to express their love of dance through a beautiful piece of attire. And speaking of #tututuesday, let me show you my take on #tututuesday in Wichita. I chose to combine the **classic romantic style** with my own fashion flair. It's easy to do this! If you’re not sure about a full *Romantic* skirt, try a **tutu style *over-skirt** over jeans for a pop of *ballet*. This is especially easy with a *contemporary* design which has the short length. I put my own twist on a traditional ballet look! So grab your tutus, find your inspiration, and embrace the fun and artistry of #tututuesday in your own way. There's no wrong way to do it! **Get out there and twirl, Wichita!** And don't forget to share your #tututuesday moments on social media so we can all enjoy the beauty and joy of this unique celebration!
