Tutu Tuesday 20902

Tutu Tuesday in Wentworthville, NSW: Where Fashion Meets Pointe Hey fellow dance lovers, it's your girl, Chloe, back with another instalment of Tutu Tuesday, this time from the bustling heart of Wentworthville, NSW! As a professional ballerina and, okay, a self-proclaimed fashion enthusiast, there's something just utterly captivating about a tutu, you know? I was scrolling through my feed this morning and realised that even though my heart is undeniably devoted to the classical ballet world, it’s amazing how these iconic garments have found their way into street style. Seeing that classic tutus can cost a small fortune, I also admire how those with an appreciation for these dance-wear masterpieces have come up with so many alternative, and way more budget-friendly, options. While a traditional, Romantic-era tutu – you know, the ones with the super-long, billowing tulle – would probably make getting around the neighbourhood a bit tricky, a cute little mini tutu skirt like the ones you see styled so well on fashion influencers can truly make any outfit stand out. Just yesterday, I saw a young chick with a black tulle tutu skirt that was tucked into her vintage Levi's, paired with a simple black tee and Converse, and it just screamed rock chick meets ballerina. Talk about effortless cool! There’s another style called a "layered tutu" that looks really classy, especially if you’re after a longer look, maybe even paired with a chic white button-down blouse and chunky loafers for a more edgy look. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the traditional tutus, with their elaborate layers of tulle, each with a purpose. But it’s always fascinating to see how such iconic dance wear gets reinvented by people who don’t even necessarily dance but who want to express themselves through fashion, right?
