Broadstairs Tutu Tuesday: Where Elegance Meets Coastal Charm Okay, darlings, so let's talk Tutu Tuesday. You know the drill, right? The first Tuesday of every month? A day dedicated to all things tutus, from the classical to the avant-garde, from the sparkly to the sleek. Well, I thought, what better place to celebrate this whimsical, magical garment than the seaside town of Broadstairs? Tutus and the Seashore: A Dreamy Fusion Broadstairs, nestled on the Kent coastline, is an absolute gem. It’s the sort of place that feels like a step back in time, with quaint cobblestone streets, colourful beach huts, and that delightful, bracing sea air. Now imagine: tutus billowing in the breeze against the backdrop of a glorious seaside sunset. You simply can’t go wrong! For Tutu Tuesday, I decided to showcase my favourite style – the Romantic tutu. These graceful, flowing creations have an ethereal quality about them. Imagine the gossamer tulle cascading in a whirlwind as you spin through the park, the vibrant pink or pale blue catching the sunlight. Tutu Tips: Creating a Coastal Chic Look I paired my Romantic tutu with a simple, chic, white T-shirt (always a winner!) and my trusty converse, just for a touch of effortless cool. The whole ensemble felt utterly relaxed yet still had a whimsical touch. It's a fantastic way to blend the romantic and practical aspects of seaside dressing, and you can totally adapt it with your own favourite items. Here are a few of my tips for your own Tutu Tuesday style: * **Choose Your Tutu Style**: There are endless styles, so it's all about what works for you! We've got our classics - like the **Romantic**, **Classical** (with its boxy silhouette and tiers of fabric) or the **Character** (usually featuring more embellishments or bold designs). Then there’s the **Contemporary** style which can range from the ultra-sleek and sleek to the more artistic and experimental. * **Pair it Back** - The possibilities are endless. You can throw on a sweatshirt or even a denim jacket for a more casual feel, or choose a statement blouse for a sophisticated vibe. * **Accessories**: Don't forget those accessories. A vintage brooch, a cute hat, a scarf – all of these elements can add an extra layer of personality to your outfit. And if you’re rocking the tulle, make sure your shoes match the vibe! I personally adore a comfy but cool flat or trainer to complete the look. * **Think About the Location**: Tutus and beaches are just a winning combo. Let the backdrop do its thing and go all out on colour and pattern if it suits. You’ll see loads of people embrace the pastel hues of Broadstairs and it really works with that airy and dreamy vibe of the Romantic tutu. Tutu Tuesday Adventures in Broadstairs After getting ready and admiring the reflection in the shop window, I headed out to explore. Broadstairs is perfect for a spot of “tutu tourism”, and I spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the colourful shops, taking pictures by the charming beach huts, and watching children laugh on the sandy beach. The seafront itself, of course, provided the ultimate background for the photo shoot - that classic “girl meets the sea” feeling. But you know what? It didn’t end there. This day was about letting my tutu spirit loose - so we even took to the Victorian-era pier! The Broadstairs bandstand is an iconic feature, and with a backdrop of the English Channel, what a better way to finish off a day than with a spot of musical enjoyment while showcasing some tutus on the steps.
