Balletcore Is Taking Over Athleisure in the Best Way
Sponsor Content Created With ALO
From ballet flats to sheer tights, dancewear has influenced fashion trends for years. Now, ballet-inspired styles—more commonly known as balletcore—are making their way into activewear, and ALO is leading the movement. The brand has even teamed up with American Ballet Theatre for its biggest drop of the season, and this collection couldn't be more en pointe.
ALO's newest collection features modern, ballet-inspired pieces in pale pink and neutral colorways that are designed to help you move with the same flexibility, athleticism, and grace as an actual dancer. You can pair the stylish bras, tanks, and long-sleeve tops with matching leggings, skorts, and shorts for a full balletcore look. Or, you might go for the onesies if you're looking for a cute, comfortable, one-and-done style. While these pieces are begging to be worn to your next barre, pilates, or dance class, they work just as well for coffee runs, morning walks, and Sunday errands. Explore our top 16 picks from ALO's collection below.
