Tutu Tuesday in Hastings Highlands, Ontario, Canada #tututuesday
Hey everyone! It’s your favourite tutu-loving Canadian ballerina, Sarah here, bringing you all the latest fashion news from the dance world, and today, I’m sharing a special love for my go-to tutu styles! I'm thrilled to be spending Tutu Tuesday here in Hastings Highlands, Ontario - a charming corner of the world that boasts stunning scenery and an infectious passion for dance, and I’ve been excited to get my tutu out for the week!.
Here in Ontario, our love for the art of ballet is second to none, and what better way to express this passion than by flaunting our favourite tutus on a weekly basis, eh? Whether we're out exploring the trails, enjoying a delicious meal at a local restaurant, or just hanging out at home, tutus are the ultimate symbol of elegance and grace – even if you're not actually on stage!
And speaking of tutus, let's dive into some of my favourite styles! You already know, my wardrobe is never complete without a classic **romantic tutu**. The ethereal layers of tulle create a dreamy effect, perfect for twirling and leaping in! When I want something a bit more bold, I opt for a **contemporary tutu**. These tutus feature a shorter, more form-fitting silhouette, giving a fiercely modern and expressive touch to my look, without forgetting all of that flowing tulle that I just can’t get enough of.
For special occasions, I love sporting a **neo-classical tutu**. The combination of soft, flowing tulle with a structured bodice and contemporary design details really stands out and is always a crowd pleaser.
I always like to choose a colour palette that complements the gorgeous scenery. For example, this week in Hastings Highlands, with all the lush greenery, I'm opting for a playful **emerald green tutu**.
Of course, choosing the perfect tutu can feel a little intimidating, so here are my top tips for getting it just right! First, find a style that flatters your body. Not every tutu looks good on everyone – so don’t be afraid to mix and match. Experiment, get creative, and embrace your unique body shape.
Another important element to consider is the occasion. I always love the freedom to choose the perfect tutu for each activity.
Let’s break down my favourite tutu pairings for an afternoon in Hastings Highlands!
Here's how I'm incorporating the fabulous tutu into my look today in this incredible location:- Forest exploration with a classic romantic tutu
- Lunch at the local cafe with a contemporary tutu
- Relaxing at the lakeside with a neo-classical tutu
For hiking amidst the natural beauty of Hastings Highlands, I like to wear a **romantic tutu** that adds an airy touch to a classic outdoor look!
It just seems like the right mix of nature and art. Think **white** or **pale pink** for a light and airy feel against the backdrop of tall trees! A **boho vibe top** like a floral print, with flat ankle boots with lace detailing will set off the vibe perfectly!
For lunch in this charming town, a **contemporary tutu** is the ideal balance of chic and casual! You know what I’m talking about, a short tulle tutu in a bold hue! For a touch of brightness, I'm thinking about an **electric blue** tutu and a **cream** or **beige** top to complete the look.
I love relaxing at a beautiful lake here, taking in the fresh air and watching the sunset. A **neo-classical tutu** will just look magnificent while I enjoy the tranquil moments. For this setting, I will go with a sleek black or dark blue, that will shimmer beautifully as the day draws to a close. You don’t need too much more - a simple bodysuit, maybe an interesting necklace with a splash of turquoise, a lightweight denim jacket, and ballet flats. You’re ready to look and feel absolutely amazing.
Let’s not forget that when it comes to wearing a tutu, confidence and having fun are key. Just like everyone in Ontario, I’ve discovered a special sense of connection with the art form – especially while out exploring our own little corners of the province, even when we’re not dancing professionally!
From ballet dancers to anyone with an appreciation for style, embrace the joy of the Tutu Tuesday and don't be afraid to express yourself. Keep sharing your tutu moments using #tututuesday – you might inspire a lot of new tutufied friends along the way!
