Liverpool, a city bursting with life and, yes, tutus! I'm Annabelle, a ballet dancer by day, a blogger by night, and a proud #tututuesday advocate. So, join me as I dissect the fabulous #tututuesday fashion scene of Liverpool.
Tutu Tuesday, that glorious day where we celebrate all things tulle, a dancewear classic, and more importantly, a wardrobe staple in my world. We saw some truly awe-inspiring interpretations of this trend today, proving once again, tutus are no longer confined to the stage. Letâs dive right in!
Where it all began: the #tututuesday birthplaceItâs become a Liverpool tradition: Tutu Tuesday, born out of a passion for all things sparkly and playful. In this town, a tutu doesn't just say âdance,â it says, "we're up for anything!". From our chic vintage boutiques in Bold Street, to the iconic Mathew Street, where we first saw tutus paired with leather jackets, we embraced the unexpected. #tututuesday is an undeniable phenomenon and this is how it played out!
Let's start with the classics. The quintessential *Romantic*, in soft pale pinks and whisper-thin tulle. Imagine a dreamy meringue gown in soft layers with a delicate hand-painted design, perfect for that brunch date at the Philharmonic Hall.
Then we had the bold, daring *Neoclassical* looks. Geometrically cut with layers of stark white tulle that seemed to float like a cloud, but were just as strong and imposing as they were airy. One trend I spotted: layered *Neoclassical* with chunky boots â a street-style vision in Liverpoolâs vibrant scene.
And who could forget the ever-so-chic *Classical*, the ballerina standard? A flawless, full-skirted delight with its intricate layering of the same tulle fabric. I even spotted some individuals who decided to take their looks to the next level by embellishing them with sequins, rhinestones, and even hand-painted designs. One gal looked amazing rocking a white *Classical* tutu, paired with a vintage, navy bomber jacket, channeling Audrey Hepburn in a distinctly Liverpudlian style.
The creativity was infectious and these styles all told stories. The stories were in the tutusâ designs â from the dainty *Romantic* to the daring *Neoclassical*, to the elegant *Classical* - theyâve transcended the stage to the street. Here in Liverpool, #tututuesday wasn't about conformity; it was about finding a way to wear a tutu in your own unique way.
It's about much more than just tutusA #tututuesday look isnât just about the tulle - it's about your whole outfit! A fabulous ensemble has its own distinct personality, telling a silent story. One young lass I saw was working the âoff-duty dancerâ look to the max, her vintage black tutu matched perfectly with a graphic tee and black chunky trainers, accessorised with an oversized chain. It had a vintage, punk-rock edge - a reminder of Liverpoolâs legendary music heritage.
Another amazing outfit was an ethereal look of *Romantic* in a subtle blue with a boho chic maxi cardigan. And her touch of genius was a quirky vintage backpack which completed the look and showcased her style, blending romantic, Parisian with that cool Liverpool vibe. And if she were in Paris, Iâd bet sheâd wear it to the Louvre or along the Seine in style.
But we canât forget the other accessories, right?Accessorizing is key to #tututuesday, and the Liverpool ladies pulled it off in style! Sunglasses, oversized earrings, necklaces with vintage pendants⌠and the bolder fashionistas were working those high heels in statement colors or daring flats - an absolutely fantastic selection of shoes! I especially adored the metallic flat shoes, which added a touch of glam to even the simplest tutu outfits.
And of course, no #tututuesday is complete without a perfect statement lip and eye. A swipe of red lipstick, a dab of mascara, or even a shimmery eyeshadow⌠those subtle accents completed the look and took it to the next level.
