ballet from neck to toe


When Bill Cunningham spots a trend, people across the globe listen. I stand with them. When ballet flats appeared in On the Street two weeks ago, I made a mental note. (I’ve never learned to walk in heels anyway.) Ballet style has always been and will continue to be timeless. Meanwhile, I’d been setting my sites on ballet for a different part: necklines. Ballet necklines on fitted tops pair well with pleated or wide-cut pants and flowing skirts. On relaxed cut tops, the simplicity of a ballet neckline is right for slim cut pants. Crewnecks and crossover necklines look tired in comparison. The ballet neckline quietly reasserts itself, needing no other accessory than your best posture.
