Designers have made a pointe to show off ballet’s beautiful style in many of this season’s collections. From models dancing down the runway in leotards and pink tights to puffy tutus and sheer skirts, this romantic theme is circulating the fashion world. Let’s take a look as models pirouette and plié through the runways.

Leotards

The quintessential ballet attire is a leotard and tights. Whether you’re watching the nut cracker or your niece’s or nephew’s recital, there are sure to be leotards. This ballet staple has morphed into the trendy bodysuits that have been dominating this season’s collections. Sally LaPointe’s bodysuit under a knitted dress is the perfect summer ensemble for a moonlit stroll on the beach, while Gucci takes the bodysuit into fall with windowpane plaid and a chunky belt.

Tutus

If you close your eyes and imagine a ballerina, there’s a 95% chance they’re wearing a tutu in your head. These poofy skirts that catch the eye as ballerinas twirl, have now started catching eyes on the runway. Guo Pei’s tutu is reminiscent of romantic ballet, while Giambattista Valli’s is more classical. Flounce through town in a tutu with bounce, or make waves on the dance floor in a tutu.

Sheer Skirts

A variation of the tutu that many ballerina’s choose to wear are sheer skirts. Although they’re typically short, designers have been making their own, longer sheer skirts. Rebecca Taylor’s patterned sheer skirt is perfect for those looking to maintain modesty, while Ralph & Russo’s sheer skirt dives right into the sheer style. Try this style out at the local coffee shop, or have all eyes on you at the next black tie event.

What do all the above styles have in common? Pink, pink, pink! Pink is the color of ballet, ballerinas balance and bounce in blush, delighting audiences in their rose shades. Pink is a popular choice for fashionable furs, as Elie Saab and Fendi display, while Marchesa and Molly Goddard display beautiful ball gowns of blush. Wear pink anywhere, even to punk shows, with ballet style.
