I have had a special relationship with dance since I was a child and consider dance, and ballet in particular, to be a perfect form of expression.
I consider the elegance, grace and discipline of dancers to be something special and admirable.
So when I saw the enchanting ballet-inspired Mila shoes from SEEKER, I was immediately in love and wanted to take a few balletcore-style pictures. Mila are classic, flat and delicate ballerinas with a very soft and worthy look, a small bow at the front and delicate ribbons that wrap around the lower leg. You can personalise the elements of the shoe with the extensive hud: Main part, ribbons, edge/bow and sole. Watch some color-examples HERE!
Balletcore is a fashion trend that draws its inspiration from the clothing and aesthetics of ballet. In addition to soft, muted tones that convey a sense of calm and elegance, tulle skirts with their delicate, airy fabric, comfortable wrap tops and legwarmers and, of course, ballerinas are the hallmarks of balletcore style. However, Balletcore is not just about dressing like a ballerina; it’s about embodying the grace and poise that characterises ballet. The trend combines elements of ballet costumes with contemporary fashion, creating a look that is both romantic and modern.
Balletcore has its roots in the timeless appeal of ballet itself. For decades, the world of ballet has been a source of fascination for designers and fashion lovers alike. The clean lines, soft textures and feminine silhouettes of ballet costumes have always been admired for their ability to emphasise the human form in a way that is both strong and delicate.
No balletcore outfit is complete without a pair of ballerinas. These shoes, often decorated with ribbons or delicate straps, are not only practical but also add a touch of authenticity to the ensemble.
Balletcore is subtle, and so are the accessories. Think delicate hairbands, pearl earrings or minimalist jewellery – pieces that enhance the overall look rather than dominate it.
