Getting Your Balletcore Look En Pointe
Though a controversial step, ballet flats are back as a stylish staple to go with any outfit. Of course, in this age of theme dressing and driven by algorithms, you’d be missing the point if you stopped at the shoes. Balletcore is here to brighten your wardrobe, easing you into a winter not where you dress like a plastic yeti but a delicate sugarplum fairy. Albeit with a bit of an edge.
Ballet flats put a spring in your step, whether you’re in first position (buying the most basic pair) or fifth position (Heelless platforms, anyone?) we start from the ground up with this look. The next logical component after your upgraded capezios is, of course, tutus. While a proper tutu juts out perpendicular to the body (not very practical if you take public transit) tulle skirts are the de facto stand-in for the iconic skirt. The volume and vibrancy are a whimsical touch to any look, but the tension created with harder pairings like leather jackets and combat boots provide a nice balance.
Bodysuits are another essential component of Balletcore. They provide a blank canvas for crafting a ravishing Rococo-inspired ensemble, seamlessly blending the athleticism of athleisure with the timeless elegance of ballet. Comfort and style coexist in this versatile garment, making it a must-have for any Balletcore enthusiast.
To complete your Balletcore ensemble, don't forget the finishing touch of hair adornments. Fascinators, headbands, and hairpins add both functionality and ornamentation to your look. Choose feathers to pay homage to the grace of Swan Lake or opt for delicate flowers to embody the spirit of Giselle. For an unexpected twist, you can even use a sleeping mask, which you can pull straight up from your eyes after 100 years of sleep to hold up your bed head. For an unexpected addition to jazz up your Balletcore look, consider incorporating a vintage-inspired pocket watch on a chain, reminiscent of the ballet's timeless elegance and precision.
Balletcore offers a unique opportunity to infuse your wardrobe with a blend of grace and edge. Whether you're twirling through life or simply strolling down the street, this fashion trend invites you to embrace your inner sugarplum fairy with an unexpected twist. So, slip into your ballet flats, twirl in your tulle skirt, don a bodysuit, and adorn your hair with enchanting accessories, including a vintage pocket watch. Balletcore? Yes, plie-se.
