HOW TO BE: Like A Ballerina

Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming a prima ballerina, your lithe figure floating on stage in front of hundreds of adoring eyes? Until you find out how much work and commitment it really takes. And you realize your no Center Stage ready Black Swan. Now you can sartorially rekindle the dream, with a modern take on ballerina style. Here are some ballerina things we like.

 

 

 

Countless renditions of ballerina flats, without all the pain of standing on your toes.

ASOS Point Ballet Flats With Chain Detail $49.18 

Chloe Metallic Leather Ballet Flats $450

ASOS Patent Ballet Flats with T-bar $43.91

 

 

 

Long socks and tights are a ballerinas second skin.

Free People Mesh Ballet Tall Sock $24.36

 

 

 

Toes take a beating, so treat yourself to some New York City Ballet inspired nail colours.

New York City Ballet By OPI Limited Edition $35.45

 

 

 

The puffy tutu gets a modern update, with lots of room for your own grand plié.

The Row Ellena Pleated Silk-Chiffon Skirt $500

Modcloth Backstage at the Ballet Dress in Mint $49.99

Miss Selfridge Silver Sheer Dress $85

 

 

 

Heavily inspired by a modern ballerina, anything from Chloe Comme Parris makes us want to prance.

 

 

 

And mod-ballerina style takes to the streets.
