About Balletcore

Balletcore takes cues from dance studios and rehearsal wear: wrap cardigans, leg warmers, ribbons, tulle skirts and ballet flats. Vogue Singapore describes it as a youthful revival with items like corsets and ballet tights. You do not need to dance. Any body can wear it, and it is about comfort and grace.

Key traits: Graceful, Soft, Poised.
