Tutu Tuesday in Newbury: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Trendsetting
Hello darlings! It's your girl, Ellie, here, bringing you all the latest from the world of fashion and dance. As a professional ballerina (with a penchant for a fabulous tutu, of course), you can trust me to keep you in the loop about all things twirly and trendy.
And what's a better way to kick off the week than with a bit of #Tututuesday? This glorious trend has swept the nation (and the world, really!), and I, for one, am totally onboard. I mean, what’s not to love about a day dedicated to embracing the romantic, ethereal beauty of a tutu?
Now, let's talk Newbury. This charming town in Berkshire, with its cobbled streets and quaint cafes, is often associated with traditional English charm, and that’s not without merit! But Newbury is also bursting with a thriving arts scene, so it was only a matter of time before #Tututuesday took hold.
I've seen the most fabulous #tututuesday ensembles on Newbury's High Street - we're talking full-blown, billowing tulle tutus, and chic, short, knee-length tutus. I even spotted a woman rocking a white, asymmetrical, deconstructed tutu, with layers of sheer, feather-light chiffon that floated like clouds! Honestly, it was spectacular.
To really drive this point home, here’s my list of all the different types of tutus you’ll likely see out and about today!:
- **The Classic:** The traditional, full-length, layered tutu – a true ballerina staple. Think flowing silk, dreamy tulle, and a touch of graceful femininity.
- **The Romantic:** This beauty is shorter than the classic, but just as stunning! Often featuring a playful ruffle or layered frills, this tutu exudes a softer, more whimsical charm.
- **The Modern:** Breaking free from the classic mold, this tutu reimagines traditional shapes. Think daring asymmetric cuts, unique textures, or even pops of unexpected colour - a perfect choice for those wanting to make a statement!
- **The Everyday:** Ditch the "fancy" tag and embrace the fun, everyday version. A tutu-inspired skirt in denim, corduroy, or a light cotton makes this trend accessible for anyone, and it’s super versatile!
But #Tututuesday is more than just tutus; it's a celebration of expressing yourself through fashion. It’s a reminder to have a little fun, to be a bit playful and embrace your inner ballerina. If you're not feeling bold enough to rock a full-on tutu, no worries! The #Tututuesday trend has gone beyond the tutu itself – think tutu-inspired prints on dresses, bags, or shoes, or even adding a touch of tulle to your outfit with a ribbon, scarf, or a single feather-light layer.
Don’t forget to look me up on social media – you can find my ballet and fashion content @ElliesTutus! I’ll be out and about on Newbury High Street today, snapping photos of all the wonderful #Tututuesday looks. Send me your pics too!
And now, back to my rehearsal! Until next time, remember to twirl with joy!
