Plymouth Tutu Tuesday: A Celebration of All Things Tutu
It’s Tutu Tuesday, my favourite day of the week, and you know what that means – time to break out the tulle! 🩰
Plymouth is buzzing today with tutus of all shapes and sizes, and as a seasoned ballerina with a penchant for all things frilly, I’m here to share my top tips on making the most of this wonderfully whimsical occasion.
A Tutu For Every Occasion
Tutus aren’t just for the stage, you know! They're incredibly versatile, offering a spectrum of styles to match any mood and personality. Let's talk tutu types! * **The Classic Romantic:** The quintessential ballet tutu, a vision of soft, billowing layers. It’s timeless and elegant, making it perfect for formal events or when you want to feel extra graceful. * **The Modern Twist:** A shorter, edgier take on the traditional tutu. Think leather, mesh, and asymmetrical cuts for a touch of contemporary flair. Great for a night out or an artsy get-together. * **The Fun and Flirty:** Short and sweet, often paired with a bold colour or playful print. Perfect for a summer festival or a day out with friends. Think sparkles and sunshine! * **The Every Day Tutu:** Yep, you heard that right! Tutus are surprisingly practical for everyday wear. Pair a simple, midi-length tutu with a casual tee or sweater for a comfortable and quirky look.
Beyond the Tutu: Accessorize Your Look
Tutus deserve to be celebrated with an ensemble that truly sparkles! * **Sparkle Factor:** When it comes to tutus, it’s all about embracing your inner sparkle queen. Channel your inner ballerina with shimmery eyeshadows and glittery manicures. Think of it as adding some celestial dust to your look! * **Shoes: Your Ultimate Weapon:** While ballerinas usually opt for pointe shoes or soft ballet flats, Tutu Tuesday is your chance to unleash your shoe style! Pair a romantic tutu with sparkly heels, go for comfy and cool with chunky sneakers, or rock a pair of stylish platforms. It’s all about creating an exciting clash! * **Headbands, Hats, and Everything In Between:** Elevate your tutu look with headbands, statement hats, or quirky fascinators. They add an extra layer of drama and personality to your ensemble. * **Accessorize Your Tutu:** Tutu belts are my personal favourite. These statement pieces add shape and dimension to a standard tutu.
Plymouth's Tutu Scene
Plymouth, with its picturesque harbour and thriving arts scene, is the perfect setting for a vibrant Tutu Tuesday. Here’s what I’m looking forward to: * **The "Tutu Stroll" in Plymouth’s Barbican:** Expect to see a vibrant kaleidoscope of tutus as locals and tourists alike take part in this colourful promenade. It's a delightful spectacle that always gets the town abuzz. * **The "Tutu Brunch" at the Barbican Kitchen:** This chic eatery has a reputation for its delicious brunch and it’s hosting a Tutu-themed brunch event. Expect plenty of laughs, mimosa-infused fun, and an Instagram-worthy backdrop. * **Tutu Inspired Window Displays:** The shops on Plymouth’s waterfront are going all out with their window displays, and you can bet there will be tutus galore. I'm particularly excited to see what the creative minds at “Threads of the Bay” have come up with this year! * **Live Entertainment with a Tutu Twist:** We’ll be treated to performances by some of Plymouth’s talented dancers and musicians, all dressed in their best tutus. This year, it seems the legendary "Plymouth Dance Studio" will be presenting a stunning modern ballet performance.
