Trends predicting and the trendsetting that follows are based on tracing scheduled events that will put in the epicenter places, people and subjects of interest that are bound to trigger the common view. If you manage to create fashion or related tangible or non-tangible merchandise around the same idea, you gain popularity as you are actually using the need of the collective mind to identify themselves as part of that major place/person/subject of interest.
The ballet trend rose to stardom last winter, thanks to “Black Swan” and the following exhibition on Dhiagilev and the Ballets Russes. Despite the trend being already almost a year old, I believe it hasn’t been worn out and it will never will, as it is will come and go in fashion every now and then a “Billy Elliott”, “Save the last dance” or “Black Swan” becomes talk of the town.
If you feel that the gentle feminity of the ballet trend expresses you fashionwise, I found for you a few items from Yoox and The Outnet that will allow you to bring back the ballet trend into your wardrobe on these last days of summer and the beginning of fall. Look for loose cotton dresses and cashemere cardigans with buttons or cache-coeur. Feathers add to the look but be careful not to go too far. Match your loose tops with tights and finish the ensemble with a pair of cute ballerina flats. As the style in which ballet dancers dress off stage remains the same for at least the past 3 deacades, the ballet trend is one you can invest on as it is unlikely that there will be significant changes to it anytime soon.
