How to Wear Balletcore

By Jayme Franklin

 
 

In this era of androgyny, “girl boss” cliches, and “smash the patriarchy” sloganeering, the emergence of balletcore is exactly what the doctor ordered. “Ballet is woman,” said legendary choreographer of The Nutcracker George Balanchine. Ballet is the essence of femininity. This aesthetic plays on the delicate, beautiful, and refined nature of the ballerina.

From pilates class to the city streets, balletcore will take you to various venues. Multiple brands, such as JCrew and Reformation, have announced creative collaborations with the New York City Ballet to capitalize on the trend. It’s time to channel Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. From pastel pinks and billowing bows to fluffy tutus and silky shoes, we’re raising the barre. Style this trend with us as we dance into fall. And that’s en pointe!
