Barnet's Tutu Tuesday: A Dance of Fashion and Fun
It's Tuesday, which means it's Tutu Tuesday in Barnet, and the streets are abuzz with frills and tulle. Let's face it, there's nothing quite like a good tulle tutu to inject a healthy dose of whimsy into your day, and Barnet seems to have grasped that concept.
This isn't just your average ballet tutu, either. It's about letting your personal style shine through, whether you're rocking a classic, fluffy, fairytale tutu with a simple white t-shirt and trainers or a bolder, shorter, modern tutu with a leather jacket and killer heels. And let's not forget the accessories - think glittery headbands, feather boas, and even tutus for your four-legged friends.
I have been keeping an eye on the #tututuesday scene in Barnet and let me tell you, it's getting pretty interesting. You see an array of tutu styles from the classical romantic ballet, where graceful tutus with layers of delicate tulle sweep across the stage, to contemporary designs with asymmetric layers and striking colour palettes.
Here are a few highlights from Barnet's Tutu Tuesday:
- The traditional tutus are, of course, always a favourite. The perfect tutu for the classic ballet look. You know what I'm talking about: a wide, multi-layered, fluffy tutu. This style has become a go-to for dancers across generations, for it speaks to a traditional love for all things ballet, but even this staple is receiving a makeover.
- I loved seeing the shorter tutus with a sleek modern feel, offering a a fresh take on the classic tutu, a departure from the fuller, more voluminous traditional styles. There's no doubt that it's making waves in the dance fashion world, bringing a sense of sophistication and edginess to the tutu, which is usually associated with a classic, whimsical look. The new, sleek and streamlined short tutus with asymmetric layers can be found with bolder colours and textures, adding a layer of visual excitement to your dancewear. Think neon pinks and blues or graphic black-and-white designs – the possibilities are truly endless! Perfect for an urban street or a ballet class.
- We're not forgetting the boys! Barnet is embracing the #tututuesday movement wholeheartedly, and the "tutud dudes" were a delightful sight, rocking the tutu trend with their own flair, and I have to say it looks a little bit fantastic.
Barnet's #tututuesday is all about celebrating the tutu, and a fun way to bring a splash of creativity to a seemingly ordinary Tuesday. And I'm here for it.
I'm excited to see how this fun trend continues to develop and expand, spreading even beyond the town of Barnet! You know what they say... a tutu a day keeps the blah away.
