Tutu Tuesday in Bogangar, New South Wales: #tututuesday

G'day, darlings! It's your girl, Tilly, back with another #tututuesday update straight from the sunny shores of Bogangar, New South Wales.

Let's face it, there's something undeniably magical about tutus. Maybe it's the wispy layers of tulle, the way they swish and twirl with every move, or perhaps it's the fact that they make you feel like you're gliding through a ballet.

Speaking of ballet, I'm proud to call myself a proud Aussie ballerina! You know, in our part of the world, we have a unique take on this graceful art form. We've got a down-to-earth, laid-back attitude to ballet here in Bogangar, which adds a bit of cheeky charm to the classic moves.

Anyway, back to the tutus! This #tututuesday, I wanted to highlight some of the different styles that are making waves in the fashion world. Let's get into it!

The Romantic Tutu: Think swirling, wispy layers of tulle that barely touch the ground. This classic style is perfect for creating an ethereal, dreamy look that is both whimsical and elegant. Think Swan Lake. This style always brings a touch of magic and sophistication, perfect for any event that calls for a touch of drama.

The Classical Tutu: This tutu is shorter and has a tighter fit, making it ideal for showcasing technical brilliance in a performance. With a more structured and less fluffy design, this tutu often embodies the power and precision of classical ballet movements. Imagine the swirls of The Nutcracker's Sugar Plum Fairy, who exemplifies that perfectly!

The Contemporary Tutu: Breaking away from tradition, these tutues can be made from various materials, including silk, satin, or even denim! They come in all shapes and sizes and allow dancers to explore a wide range of movement. If you are feeling a more modern and edgier vibe, look for these! These tutus are all about experimenting and challenging the boundaries of ballet.

The Everyday Tutu: Here is a bit of a hot topic and the #tututuesday highlight in Bogangar this week! While we've all got our favourite performance tutus in the studio, they can also make an unexpected and delightful fashion statement on the streets of Bogangar! There's a certain sassy freedom in rocking a tutu while getting your morning coffee, grabbing lunch with the girls, or heading to the beach. We've had a real explosion of this in our little community. I even saw a gal rocking a denim tutu paired with some cutoffs and a bright, beaded halter top on the weekend!

Tips for Rocking A Tutu on #Tututuesday:

  • Remember: It's all about feeling confident and comfortable. So go ahead and add your own personal touch to a tutu. Accessorize it, mix and match different colours and fabrics – get creative!
  • Consider where you are heading. Keep in mind, you don’t want to wear a traditional ballet tutu to a music festival! Think about where you are going and tailor the look to fit.
  • Embrace the Australian summer with some of those super bright and beautiful colours, add a dash of colour, and embrace a bit of the Bogangar spirit!

That’s it for this #tututuesday, Bogangar! As a proud Bogangar ballerina, I can’t wait to see how everyone else interprets these styles and what amazing fashion choices will be seen around the community this week.
