The Prima Edit
As ballet core continues trending this Fall, we’re taking style notes from ballet’s most iconic ballerinas. From form-fitting jumpsuits to chiffon clad skirts, the trend is the ultimate embrace of contemporary elegance and classical romance.
Natalia Makarova by Serge Lido, 1983.
A new staple for your Fall wardrobe, The Row’s Napali Jumpsuit has the clean lines that we love about classical ballet. With a figure-hugging silhouette and an open back, this stretch-jersey jumpsuit is a contemporary nod to the classical art form. Wear it on its own like Natalia, or layer with a chunky knit sweater and ballet flats.
Carla Fracci by Walter Mori, 1968.
We love SIR’s Exclusive Ligera Crinkled-Satin Midi Wrap Skirt because of the delicate, ultra-feminine detailing, reminding us of the airy ballet skirts that have been a go-to in ballerinas’ wardrobes for centuries. The lightweight satin material drapes effortlessly with a wispy tie fastening at the waist. The midi length makes this minimalist skirt the perfect option for a romantic, contemporary look.
Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, c. 1965.
While most of us aren’t clocking in hours at the dance studio, prima ballerina Margot’s warm-ups are still an inspiration to us all. What better way to blend comfort and functionality than Nensi Dojaka’s Ribbed-Knit Cardigan Bodysuit? Slip into this slim-fit bodysuit featuring a slinky silhouette and plunging neckline. Pair it with your favorite denim for an effortless tucked-in look.
