G'day lovelies! It's your girl, Olivia, back with another Tutu Tuesday post, this time bringing the glitz and grace straight from Currumbin, Queensland. If you've been following me, you know I love a good tutu – they're the perfect way to inject a touch of whimsy and sophistication into any outfit. Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of tutus, exploring different styles, and sharing tips on how to rock this iconic dancewear staple in your everyday life. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let's get into it!
Tutus have this magical ability to instantly transform an outfit from mundane to spectacular. From the romantic elegance of the classical tutu to the playful, modern designs that have exploded onto the scene in recent years, there's a style out there for every personality and occasion. In this Tutu Tuesday post, we’re going to explore these styles and see how you can work them into your everyday wardrobe.
I think it's important to note that while tutus have been synonymous with ballet for ages, the style has been steadily transitioning into the realm of everyday fashion, appearing on runways and street style blogs around the globe. No longer confined to the dance studio, these tulle masterpieces have become a statement piece for women everywhere – and I'm totally here for it. But, I've always got an eye out for new and interesting ways to style a classic.
**Let's talk tutu styles:**
- **The Classic Romantic Tutu:** This one is your traditional, dreamy ballerina number. Picture flowing layers of tulle in shades of pale pink, ivory, and blush. These beauties usually feature a fitted bodice, sometimes with delicate straps or a corseted style. They scream ethereal elegance and will definitely get you noticed in any room. You'll want to wear one of these out on the town with a silky slip, delicate earrings, and strappy heels, or you could even rock one as a party frock. A bit of sparkly tulle is perfect for any party – especially if you can pull off a pair of glitzy stilettos.
- **The Modern Mini Tutu:** Think shorter length and bolder colors – perfect for a statement piece. These babies work so well with everything – jeans, dresses, you name it! It's like you took all the amazingness of the classic and just dialed it down for modern style. This tutu is perfect for daywear. I often style mine with my favourite high-waisted jeans, a band tee, and some cute trainers. I also love to throw on a longer cardigan or blazer for a little more coverage – I can't stand showing off my thighs in summer, it's far too hot here!
- **The Asymmetrical Tutu:** This style breaks all the rules and embraces an edgier aesthetic, featuring a skirt that’s shorter on one side and longer on the other. Asymmetries have become big in Australian fashion lately and this style totally hits the mark! Asymmetrical tutus add a unique touch to an otherwise simple outfit, letting you inject that little bit of "off kilter" to spice up the mundane. Try this style with a pair of leggings and a casual sweater for a night out at a trendy club with your mates.
- **The Layered Tutu:** Think more tulle – and, by more tulle, I mean so much tulle! The layered tutu is designed to create a cascading waterfall of soft tulle, perfect for capturing your inner fairytale princess, a ballerina on a whirlwind romance, or whatever kind of dreamscape you can imagine. Layered tutus come in many shades and colour combinations; however, I love rocking a neutral coloured, flowing one for daywear – paired with a fitted, feminine tee it's absolutely divine. These are best worn with comfortable, flat sandals for long, comfortable days.
- **The Denim Tutu:** Think unexpected, daring and utterly awesome. That's the denim tutu. Gone are the days when denim had to be stiff. A little tulle softening out your favourite denim jeans makes for an eye-catching ensemble and allows you to pull off those killer biker shorts without looking like you're headed to the gym! You can throw this look on for casual coffee dates with the girls, brunch with the family, and even casual Friday's in the office!
- **The "Just a little something" Tutu:** Some ladies just want a little "something special" to complete their outfit and that's totally ok! For those women, a simple tulle skirt or a little bit of tutu-like frill will do just the trick! Tulle ribbon, or some strategically-placed tulle fabric around the hemline will work just fine! If you don't want to commit to a full-blown tulle tutu skirt, you can even get creative with embellishments! Think tulle trims, bows, or even just a small piece of tulle strategically placed around your waistline.
No matter what your style or preference, a tutu has the power to add an element of surprise to your wardrobe – and it’s so much fun to play around with different styles and shapes! Embrace the tutu and make it your own, expressing your inner artistry through this universally adored garment! What I love most about these gorgeous, ethereal pieces, is that you don’t have to be a ballerina to enjoy them! In fact, you don’t need to even own a pair of pointe shoes!
So next time you're shopping for a unique, playful fashion piece that’s sure to spark conversations, look no further than a fabulous tutu! #tututuesday is more than just a hashtag, it’s a celebration of all things tutus – embrace the fun and creativity!
