Thanks to the runways of Valentino, Céline, Acne Studios, and more, the dancer trend has caught on in a big way this season. The beauty of it is that it's a feminine way to do athleisure, which is refreshing for those of us who would rather wear a skirt than track pants.
But if you don't want to look like you're dressed up as a ballerina for Halloween (although it would be convenient this year…) or like you're actually going to dance class, there are certain styling rules to follow. The tentpole of the trend, ballerina shoes, are an easy way to give the trend a try.
If you want to avoid the full-blown dancer look, take your cues from the stylish street style examples below. Skip the tulle, wrap sweaters, and pink, and instead opt for masculine-inspired pieces and denim. Or, if you prefer something a little girlier, wear a printed maxi dress or skirt. Keep the rest of your look effortless and casual, and your pretty ballerina shoes will be all the more of a standout, just as they fully deserve to be.
