From cottagecore and coquette aesthetics to Y2K and dark academia, there are plenty of fashion aesthetics that are always trending online.
To tell you the truth, I’m always anticipating what the next style is gonna be. The idea of having a distinct aesthetic not only sets you apart, but it also brightens up your mood and makes you feel like a queen (or king) in your fit.
Speaking of trending aesthetics, you may have heard (or seen) balletcore on your FYP recently. For those who are unfamiliar with the style, it gives off an elegant and functional vibe yet remains playful.
Think muted, soft pastels tulle skirts with form fitting body suits alongside leg warmers. Of course, we can’t go without the iconic ballet flats, which are definitely having a moment right now.
So, if you’re looking to build your very own ballet core-inspired wardrobe, here are six trendy ballet flats that you can get in Singapore.
1. DMK’s Serene Ballerina Mary Janes
You may have seen the iconic Miu Miu Ballet Pumps (the flats that kicked off the ballet shoes hype), but the price has my jaw on the floor.
If you’re looking for a more economical option, you might wanna consider DMK’s Serene Ballerina Mary Janes (S$43.90).
It carries a similar vibe as it uses satin material with crossover elastic straps for a comfort and secure hold.
