Brisbane, Queensland, Australia – #TutuTuesday
G’day, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It’s your girl, Chloe, back with another dose of dance-inspired fashion and, of course, a whole lot of tutu love. Today we're celebrating #TutuTuesday, and let me tell you, there’s no better place to embrace this iconic piece of dancewear than right here in Brisbane.
It’s hard to imagine a more vibrant and creative city than Brisbane, where a love for art and fashion thrives in the sun. And speaking of art, what could be more artistic and beautiful than a tutu? This iconic piece of dancewear isn’t just a garment; it's a statement. It's about freedom of movement, graceful lines, and the timeless elegance of ballet.
From the classic Romantic tutu with its billowing layers of tulle, to the streamlined, modern tutu favored by contemporary dancers, there's a style for everyone. We're seeing these fabulous creations gracing everything from the stages of Queensland Ballet, to our local Brisbane cafes and even the fashion streets of the city.
This week, I was inspired by a gorgeous vintage-style, pastel pink tutu I found at a local vintage shop in Paddington. The intricate layers of tulle gave me a nostalgic feel, and I paired it with a simple white T-shirt and a pair of comfy white sneakers, just a touch of casualness. The outcome was an utterly charming outfit that made a bold statement without feeling over the top.
I’ve been keeping an eye on what my fellow Brisbanites are wearing on #TutuTuesday and there have been some incredible looks! A friend posted a photo on Instagram wearing a fiery red, knee-length tutu with a leather jacket and some chic, pointy heeled boots. She looked powerful and totally ready for a night out on the town! There was another pic of two friends rocking matching powder blue tutus on the beach. It was a fun and effortless vibe that just screamed 'sunshine, smiles and #TutuTuesday! '
Here in Brisbane, we know how to work a tutu for any occasion! For your #TutuTuesday style inspo, check out some ideas for every mood:
- For a casual brunch with your girlfriends: Rock a classic black tulle tutu, a floral blouse or simple tank top, a pair of your favorite sneakers, and a cute tote bag. Don’t forget your sunnies for that perfect #Brisbane summer day.
- For a sophisticated dinner date: Elevate the classic romantic tutu with a fitted silk top, some sparkly heels, and a dazzling statement necklace. This outfit exudes chic glamour.
