Woolgoolga, New South Wales - Tutu Tuesday, It’s a thing! #tututuesday

G’day, lovelies! Your girl is back with another dose of ballet-inspired fashion, and this week’s topic is oh-so-sweet – Tutu Tuesday! If you've been living under a rock, let me break it down for you. Tutu Tuesday is basically a day to celebrate all things tutus! And believe me, we Aussies have a special place in our hearts for these fluffy delights.

Whether you're a hardcore ballerina, a fashion enthusiast, or just a fan of feeling like a princess, Tutu Tuesday is for you. So grab your fanciest frock, ditch the jeans for a day, and let’s get this tutu party started!

The Tutu Tale

Now, you're probably wondering how a dancewear staple like a tutu became this global fashion trend. It’s a story with two chapters, folks, and both are seriously interesting.

• The Original Chapter: First things first, the original tutus, the ones ballerinas wear on stage, are actually a relatively new invention! In the late 1800s, ballet costumes were all about flowing fabrics and long, graceful skirts. It wasn't until 1871 that Marius Petipa, a French choreographer, designed the iconic tutu we all know and love today for Marie Taglioni. This ‘tutu-vation’, if you will, paved the way for shorter tutus to highlight the incredible flexibility of ballerinas. And with that, a star was born!
• Chapter Two, the Fashion Renaissance: As you can imagine, it wasn’t long before these airy creations made their way off the stage and onto the streets. The first to adopt this fun style were artists and free spirits who were trying to shake things up. The tutu quickly became an emblem of playful style and rebellion – think fashion icons like Twiggy! And from there, well, it became a global sensation. Today, everyone’s wearing a tutu – from fashion bloggers to musicians, it’s become a style that is universal and inclusive!

The Tutu Evolution:

As for the evolution of the tutu, well, let’s just say, the options are endless, babes.

• The Classic: This is the grand dame of tutus, the one you imagine in your head when you hear the word. The classic tutu is a circle of netting, usually worn over a leotard, with layers upon layers of fabric that billow and swirl beautifully as a ballerina spins across the stage. It's elegant, ethereal, and instantly recognizable as the ultimate dancewear masterpiece.
• The Romantic Tutu: This is another popular choice for ballet, often worn in classical pieces like “Swan Lake” and “Giselle.” Romantic tutus feature layers of lightweight fabric and usually have a shorter length compared to a classic. This allows the dancer to showcase her incredible control, technique and movement with more freedom.
• The Contemporary Tutu: This tutu is anything but classic, giving a more edgy, bold statement with minimalist fabrics. Often incorporating unconventional textures and fabrics like lace or tulle, they bring a dramatic, contemporary style to dance.
• The Fashion Tutu: And now for the fun part! Fashion tutus are your chance to be creative, unique and let your personality shine through your style. These are all about playing with colour, experimenting with fabrics like denim and velvet and creating your own personal statement piece. We’ve seen tutus in neon shades, tulle mini skirts with boots and all sorts of wild creations that you just have to admire.

The Tutu Love in Australia:

I have to say, as a dancer and a lover of fashion, I feel a bit biased towards ballet in Australia. This land of beauty is seriously full of talented dancers and unique fashion styles. You only have to check out some of the big ballerinas who have graced the stage at the Australian Ballet Company and even the local dance schools – Australia really brings the dance style to another level! I feel like there is a whole new level of excitement for ballet here, from contemporary works to traditional classics and a new crop of Aussie ballerinas is wowing audiences everywhere.

So how do you incorporate tutus into your wardrobe? You'll be delighted to discover that the opportunities are endless, chicks! From the street style of city centers, to the trendy boutiques in Bondi, everyone’s embracing this chic dancewear trend. Tutus are not just for ballet class anymore! They’ve taken over festival fashion, become the perfect choice for special occasions like birthdays and weddings. Just remember, babes, keep it playful and add your personal touch with shoes, accessories, a pop of colour or whatever suits your mood. You’ve got this!
