You don’t have to be a dancer to shop the balletcore trend (but these pieces will definitely make you feel like one). Balletcore is still going viral on TikTok thanks to its timeless, elegant look…plus a healthy dose of pastel pink. In case you missed it, the trend consists of pieces you’d typically find at the ballet barre: think leg warmers, wrap-around cardigans, lightweight material, and plenty of tulle. But balletcore isn’t just for enhancing your everyday wardrobe – it also lends itself perfectly to athleisure and activewear.
As graceful as they appear, ballerinas are also hard-working athletes. The layers they wear are undoubtedly fashionable, but also functional for keeping muscles warm and avoiding injury. The balletcore aesthetic then, is not only aesthetically-pleasing, but perfectly practical for working out (whether you’re headed to ballet class or not). To help you tap into your inner dancer, we rounded up the best balletcore athleisure – from delicate coverups, to joggers you can really move around in. Read on to shop the trend and channel the prima ballerina within.
