Fashion Trends & Tips - Michael Kors Dance-Inspired Collection


The sidewalks of Paris, New York and yes, even Chicago have something in common at the moment. It appears that suddenly, le Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris, Joffrey and Hubbard have added a whole lot more dancers to their rosters. No, no, that's not the case; what we have here is a season of dance-inspired trends—for everyone!

Ballet flats may have debuted long before the rest of the pieces, but hey, it's never too late. Now we can adorn dance wear from head to pointed toe.

Sure, plenty of designers are using dancers as their inspiration this Spring, but we fell most in love with the Michael Kors dance-inspired collection.

Now, grab the barre, plié and pick which dance-inspired look suits you best this season.

Washed Chiffon Empire Dress

Strutting down the street in this beautiful ensemble is anything but subtle. This dress is for those who want to take the dance-inspired trend by the reins and ride it out to the fullest.

The ballerina-pink color, the elegantly flowing asymmetrical hem and the 100% silk factor, will have you pirouetting into any room and under the spotlight in this beauty.

Imported from Italy, this dress will then import you to centerstage.

Cedar Pumps

Ballet flats we all love, but there comes a time in every ballerina's life to upgrade from flat to point. These are the shoes for that time.

The lace-up adds a sexy flair while at the same time, stirring up images of sugar plum fairies and swan lake sashé's. Once you put these shoes on, it will be hard to resist a few ballet moves of your own, but you won't need them. Simply tie these on and make your entrance: you'll be noticed.

Georgette Top & Tulip Skirt

The cut of this off-the-shoulder Georgette top couldn't be more flattering. Add it to a high-waisted skirt and chunky belt and you've got the perfect evening look.

You don't even have to be a dancer to look amazing in this; the design takes care of it all for you. Nevertheless, don't be surprised if you feel inspired to dance in this look: whether it be salsa or a waltz with your Prince Charming.

Ranger Satchel & Harem Lace-Up Ballerina Slippers

Every dancer must arrive to class prepared. But hey, every woman must arrive prepared too. Dance class, work or happy hour, wherever it is you're going, this dance-inspired satchel will be the perfect addition to your look.

If you're not quite ready to subscribe to the pink tutu and lace-up shoes, then this is the option for you. Perfect any time of day, in the office or on the go; ballet flats and a classy bag will give you a piece of this season's biggest trend.
