Tutu Tuesday in Malartic, Quebec: A Tutu for Every Occasion
Hey everyone! It’s your girl, Claire, back at it again with another edition of my weekly Tutu Tuesday. This week, I’m bringing the tutus to the beautiful, historic town of Malartic, Quebec. While known for its gold mines, Malartic also has a thriving arts scene and a love for all things ballet (believe it or not!). So, I thought it would be a perfect spot to explore the versatility of the tutu, showing you how it’s more than just a ballerina’s outfit - it’s a fashion statement that can work for every occasion, from a casual coffee date to a fancy gala.
Now, I’m not going to lie, I’m all about that classic, romantic, tulle-filled, poofy tutu that you’ve seen in all those gorgeous ballets. There's nothing like the feeling of a billowing, romantic tutu, but let’s face it, the romantic style might be a little over the top for most everyday looks.
Here’s where the magic of the tutu comes in. You see, there are actually many different tutu styles out there, all with their own unique charm and appeal. Think about it, you’ve probably seen those sleek, minimalist tutus in modern ballet pieces that offer a super stylish look. They're made from fabrics like satin and chiffon and they have a clean, elegant look. These styles might look great for a night out on the town - imagine pairing them with a black blazer and sleek stilettos for a truly sophisticated ensemble.
But if you're after something casual, the fun part is that the tutu world offers a multitude of styles that can totally nail the casual, every-day aesthetic. That’s why today, I’m bringing you the most unique tutu trends from right here in Malartic, Quebec, just to prove that you can rock a tutu, even in a non-ballet context, whether it be for a weekend stroll by the river, a date at a quaint local cafe, or even a fun get-together with friends.
- **Tutus for Every Occasion**
I went to a vintage clothing store in the centre of Malartic and let me tell you, finding a few gems was like digging for gold! A few vintage styles were re-imagined - for example a shorter, whimsical tutu in a playful, sunny yellow and a flowy fabric. I styled it with a chic white tee and some white trainers for an outfit that was cute, comfy, and still completely on-trend.
A vintage style can work in many ways and, of course, there’s always that go-to style for me, the classic ballet tutu which can always be a great party piece. The longer, full tutu was also my fave from this vintage find because of its incredible detail, intricate detailing on the hem, it had this very feminine and elegant vibe that was simply irresistible.

One way to play with styles in a more modern take is to consider the contemporary style, a perfect example for a day at the park. These styles were quite short and they were perfect because they allowed for free movement. One tutu came in an almost futuristic metallic blue, like something out of a sci-fi movie. I matched it with a simple grey t-shirt and black Converse - super comfy and super cool.
