There’s something about sportswear you can wear in your regular outfit rotation that will never go out of style. We’ve seen tenniscore, rugby and football shirts, and now ballet-coded pieces are making their way through our wardrobes, and we are here for it!
The ballerina aesthetic has long been providing inspiration for the high street and fashion houses alike, with everyone from Chanel to Miu Miu creating pieces that wouldn't look out of place on the dance floor. And that's before we even get to the current obsession with sneakerinas, seen everywhere at Copenhagen Fashion Week last month
This neutral knit from Mango is the normal person's answer to the wrap jumpers that ballerinas typically wear to practice. The accentuated V-neck leaves the decolletage bare, making it a great little number for spotlighting some of your favourite necklaces. It can be so easy for our favourite wardrobe items to do all the talking for us, but sometimes it's fun to let our statement jewels really sing.
The light hue of the knit also makes it a super versatile number, as it's easy to pair with both bright, bold colours and subtle, understated ones. Just picture it: a beige trench coat overtop would work *just* as well as a chilli red midi skirt.
Not only is the lightweight jumper versatile, but it's flattering too. The ribbed design comes together to cinch at the waist, creating a complementary silhouette that we love pairing with an A-line skirt or wide-leg jeans - something that cinches at the waist and widens at the hem for a mirrored effect.
