You don’t have to be a dancer to follow the balletcore trend (but these pieces will definitely make you feel like you are one). Balletcore continues to trend on TikTok for its timeless, elegant look and healthy pastel pink color. In case you missed it, this trend includes pieces you’d typically find on a ballet barre: think leg warmers, wrap cardigans, lightweight materials, and lots of tulle. But Balletcore doesn’t just enhance your everyday wardrobe, it’s also perfect for pairing with athleisure and activewear.
Despite their elegant appearance, ballet dancers are also hard-working athletes. The clothes they wear are undoubtedly fashionable, but they also serve the function of keeping their muscles warm and avoiding injury. Well, the ballet core aesthetic isn’t just beautiful, it’s also great for exercising (whether you’re going to take a ballet class or not). To help you tap into your inner dancer, we’ve rounded up the best ballet athleisure wear—from sophisticated cover-ups to joggers that are truly perfect for the action.
