We're talking about a full-on tutufied day, incorporating the iconic garment into our outfits, even in the most unexpected ways. It's a chance to have fun, break out of our comfort zones, and add a little sparkle and whimsy to our everyday looks. And, let's be honest, who doesn't love a good twirl? Now, I know what you're thinking. "Olivia, I'm no ballerina, how can I possibly wear a tutu?" Well, my darling, that's the beauty of it!

Tutu Style: From Classic to Chic So, what are the key Tutu Tuesday styles you should know? Let's break it down. * **Classic Romantic Tutu:** This is the quintessential tutu, perfect for adding a touch of elegance and drama. Think soft, layered tulle in dreamy pastel colours - think champagne, soft pink, lavender. This style looks fantastic for a casual date night or even an outdoor evening picnic, or for adding a touch of vintage elegance to a summer wedding. You'll feel like a princess in the making. * **Modern Tutu:** This is where it gets really exciting! Think geometric lines, structured shapes, and contemporary fabrics. I'm talking leather, silk, even sequins. We're seeing bolder colours like crimson red, midnight blue, emerald green. It's a chance to get experimental and have some serious fun with your fashion choices! I've seen this look at the St. Thomas Farmer's Market, where the vibe is anything but stuffy! * **Mini Tutu:** Want to inject a little tutu flair without going all out? A mini tutu can be your perfect ally. Pair it with a classic blazer and heels for a sophisticated look, or a crop top and sneakers for a sportier edge. The mini tutu is all about adding a touch of whimsy, without going overboard. **It's not all about tutus either!** We've seen everything from tutus repurposed as bags and hats, to DIY tutus made out of everything from scraps of fabric to yarn. The possibilities are endless. Tutu Tuesday Beyond St. Thomas The Tutu Tuesday trend isn't just happening in St. Thomas. It's going viral across Canada.
