With #balletcore collecting more than 400 million views on TikTok, this look is starting to come to the forefront of 2023 fashion trends as well. While it's great for dance class, there are also plenty of ways to incorporate this aesthetic when you're off the barre without feeling like you're wearing a ballerina costume. Here are some easy ways to get the balletcore look along with some clothing and accessories to consider. 7 Gorgeous Bun Hairstyles Inspired by the #Balletcore Trend J.Crew Buy Some Ballet Flats Ballet flats are timeless and look chic with everything from workwear to ordinary jeans and a t-shirt.
