Tutu Tuesday in Saint Albans: A Whirlwind of Tutu Style
It's Tuesday, which means only one thing: Tutu Tuesday! I know, I know, you're probably thinking "Tutus? Really?", but trust me on this one, darlings. Today is all about celebrating the most iconic garment in ballet, the tutu. It's time to ditch the boring old jeans and embrace a little bit of tutusical magic!
Now, before you go running for the nearest costume shop (no shade to those!), let's clear up something. This isn't about going full-on ballerina, we're not aiming for a swan lake scene here. Think more Parisian chic with a twist, a sprinkle of ballerina flair, but most importantly, an absolute **#tututuesday** vibe!
So, what does that look like, you ask? Well, I'm so glad you asked! There are several ways you can rock the tutu, let's explore them, shall we?
The Classic Ballet Tutu- This is the traditional tutu we all think of. The full, fluffy, romantic masterpiece. It's all about the tulle, and the more layers, the better! You've probably seen it countless times on the stage, but I promise it looks amazing off-stage too.
- Style tip: pair this with a crisp white shirt, a fitted black blazer, and a pair of pointed flats. Think Audrey Hepburn with a ballet twist.
- Bonus points: for those who dare, rock a full ballerina hairstyle to complete the look. Maybe a side bun?
Remember, it's all about embracing the romantic, delicate feel of the ballet, and the tutu's inherent movement!
The Short & Sweet Tutu- We all have those days where we just want something cute, quick, and easy! The short tutu is your go-to. Think modern ballet with a pop of color. Short, frilly, and fun!
- Style Tip: Pair this with your favorite t-shirt, jeans, and a statement jacket for a relaxed, casual, but oh-so-chic look. Don't forget the Converse!
- For those who aren't comfortable wearing the traditional tutu, a tulle skirt is the perfect alternative. A little less theatrical, but still oozes elegance and romanticism. Imagine flowing skirts, whispers of chiffon, the softness of silk... You see where I'm going?
- Style Tip: Go for a soft flowy blouse, a statement scarf and some leather sandals for an effortlessly chic ensemble that makes you feel like you're straight out of a French film.
- A denim jacket is also a perfect compliment to this look for a more casual edge.
