Unveiling the Ballet-Core Sneakers Collection by ABC Mart

Fashion aficionados are currently buzzing about the 'Ballet-Core Style', a trend that has swiftly made its way into the hearts of many across Japan. With strong roots in Korean fashion, this style caught the attention of influencers, elevating its popularity to new heights. ABC Mart has successfully tapped into this growing trend by launching an exquisite collection of ballet sneakers that combine the whimsical charm of ballet shoes with the comfort of sneakers.

What Is Ballet-Core Style and Why Is It Trending?

In recent years, especially among Generation Z, the 'Ballet-Core' trend has emerged, drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of classical ballet costumes. The resulting style is delicate and romantic, incorporating elements such as ballet shoes, ribbons, tulle, and lace. The essence of ballet-core lies in integrating feminine touches into everyday fashion, creating an ethereal and graceful silhouette. This movement goes beyond mere cuteness. It reflects a unique take on femininity, offering a modernized version that embraces comfort by blending sneakers and casual pants into the mix.

The emergence of the 'Ballet-Core' trend can be traced back to around 2023 when luxury brands like Miu Miu showcased looks that quickly gained popularity on platforms like TikTok and Pinterest. K-pop idols played a pivotal role in adopting this style early on, and their on-stage outfits and candid shots further solidified ballet-core as a staple in Korean fashion, making its way to Japan's youth. The trend gained momentum through social media, capturing the attention of fashion-savvy individuals seeking styles that evoke both 'cuteness' and 'effortlessness'. After riding the Y2K wave, there has been a revival in enjoying femininity, and ballet-core has emerged as a quintessential representation.

To avoid appearing overly girly, the style incorporates elements of Y2K, street fashion, and chic modes, achieving a balanced look that reflects a contemporary sense of casualness and sophistication.
