On Pointe: The trend to try this spring
Ballerinas have a specific style that has inspired everyday fashion for decades. Lately, though, there has been a very apparent spike in ballet-inspired outfits.
As a former ballerina, I can attest to many of the clothing articles being mainly comfort driven, but luckily enough, these pieces happen to be very flattering as well. This trend is definitely worth trying out this spring, as many of the pieces offer light and airy comfort with a chic twist. The first piece to try out is the leotard. These are great because they function as cute, form-fitting tops, and you don’t have to worry about tucking them in constantly or making sure they are staying put. There are many different styles of leotards that are short sleeved, long sleeved, tank tops, etc.
The next style is wrap-up tops. These are the shirts that you have to tie around and secure yourself. The great thing about these is you can adjust them to your own comfort and they tend to be very flattering. There are also wrap up style dresses and skirts that use the same concept. These pieces are very size inclusive, comfortable and cute.
Another more obvious trend is ballet flats. Simple black shoes are usually what most think of as part of the ballet trend, but there are so many different types that can fit anyone’s personal style. There are even ballet flats with fabric to wrap around your ankles like one would do with pointe shoes.
Last but not least are cropped sweaters. This trend definitely started out for comfort reasons because it's easier to move around in a cropped sweater instead of a regular one. However, they are super cute and easy to style with any sort of high waisted bottoms, even leggings.
With spring right around the corner, the ballerina trend is definitely one to keep an eye out for.
