Tutu Tuesday in High Wycombe: A Dance Through the Streets #tututuesday

Alright, High Wycombe, itā€™s Tutu Tuesday! Get your dancing shoes on, because weā€™re about to sprinkle some pirouette magic all over this town.

As a ballerina with a passion for fashion, Iā€™ve always found myself captivated by the elegant, whimsical nature of tutus. Theyā€™re not just for the stage, you know. Theyā€™re for everyday, for feeling confident and feminine, for channeling your inner prima donna wherever you may roam.

For Tutu Tuesday, I've decided to wear my favourite Romantic Tutu, a sheer, dreamy concoction that whispers "ballet" and "fairy tale" in equal measure. Its layers of delicate tulle billow out around me like a cloud of sugared happiness, catching every breeze with a graceful swish. It's like wearing a dream, only without the nightmares.

But hereā€™s the thing about tutus, and the beauty of Tutu Tuesday: They come in so many styles, just like your personality! Youā€™ve got your traditional tutus, the ones you see on stage, those perfectly formed, pristine, white confections. Think swan lake, beautiful but definitely not everyday.

Then, thereā€™s the "Modern" tutu. This little beauty isnā€™t afraid to push boundaries. Think asymmetric cuts, daring fabrics, and colour explosions. The kind that make you want to pirouette through a contemporary dance performance and feel empowered by each twist and turn.

Now, if youā€™re a vintage lover like me, then you need a ā€œvintage tutuā€ in your life. These are treasures from bygone eras, each one a whisper of dance history. Theyā€™ve got this charming, almost whimsical, air about them, like theyā€™ve been twirling through ballets of yesteryear. You can even try your hand at a DIY project - many tutus find their new purpose in vintage shops. Find your style, your history and maybe a great price tag in the process.

Of course, no Tutu Tuesday is complete without a little fashion inspiration. So, Iā€™m putting together a quick and easy style guide for your tutu adventure.

Hereā€™s how to make a tutu work for you in High Wycombe:
  • Accessorise wisely: Letā€™s be honest, a tutu is a statement piece. Itā€™s all about having fun and letting your personality shine! Keep the rest of your look simple. Think ballet flats or sandals, a plain T-shirt tucked in for that sleek silhouette, or maybe even a blazer for a touch of High Wycombe sophistication.
  • Embrace the color: It's a chance to inject some color into your High Wycombe days! While classic white and black are always timeless, why not experiment with pastel hues, bold patterns, and shimmery metallics? Remember, itā€™s Tutu Tuesday, itā€™s all about expressing yourself!
  • Layer Up! High Wycombe is known for its changing weather, but that shouldn't stop your tutu adventure. Layer your look. Think leggings under a tutu for extra warmth, or even pair it with a cute sweater and tights.
  • Donā€™t be afraid to mix it up! A tutu doesnā€™t have to be exclusively for dance class or the ballet. It can go anywhere and everywhere - think coffee shops, antique shops, park strolls, even a High Wycombe pub crawl with friends. Just go for it.
  • Remember: Confidence is key, darling! Strut those streets in your tutu like you own the place, because you do!

Remember, Tutu Tuesday is all about embracing the joy of dance, embracing femininity, and adding a touch of whimsy to your daily routine. And trust me, seeing others embracing tutus in a place like High Wycombe is truly a magical experience, sparking conversations, smiles, and a sense of playful joy that transcends any perceived barriers of style or fashion norms.

So, go on, my lovely High Wycombe friends, get ready to twirl! We've got a whole day of tutu magic ahead of us.
