I may not be able to do a gazillion pirouettes like Tiler Peck, but I do know what real balletcore aesthetic is, if that means something an actual dancer would wear! So here’s how I-amateur ballet dancer for 2.5 decades-interpret this trend, using vegan and sustainable ethos.īallerinas have inspired trends and aesthetics long before 2023. How is a black leather trench coat paired with stiletto heels “balletcore” because of the pair of black tights? And a baggy dress with tiered tulle skirt is more Harajuku-Greenwich-Village-doll-core than balletcore. But a lot of these explainers and accompanying photos have this balletomane shaking her head. The trend officially started in fall 2022 (during spring 2023 runway shows), and has since taken over fashion magazines, TikTok, and Instagram alike.

I give you the next “core” to replace Barbiecore of 2022. There are trends and then there are trends that are so big, that even normally fashion-impervious people like me become spellbound.
