Love the look of ballet shoes but have never had ballet training? You can still wear ballet slippers on certain occasions!
General tips on wearing ballet slippers for the non-dancer
Make sure you only wear soft ballet shoes (also called ballet slippers) and not pointe shoes. You can find soft ballet slippers at Amazon.com for a surprisingly low price - often cheaper than regular footwear!
Never wear pointe shoes unless you are a trained dancer because you can damage your feet by wearing these. Furthermore, pointe shoes are difficult to walk in and make a very loud “clopping” sound on hard wood floors! In contrast, ballet slippers are comfortable, are easy to walk in elegantly and the supple leather makes this footwear easier on the foot than ordinary shoes.
Give some thought to hosiery – ballet slippers simply don’t look their best on bare skin. Try pink ballet tights or white or pale pink regular ordinary tights. Think about how to best keep the ballet slipper on for the occasion; if it is a snug fit the ballet slipper may do fine as is, otherwise an elastic across the arch of the foot may be needed. Alternatively ballet ribbons can be used for this purpose, but be aware it would be a rather bold statement for the non-dancer.

Why not start with the footwear when it comes to Halloween costumes? Ballet slippers can be worn with:
- A ballet or dance costume (leotard and sheer long or short skirt)
- A fairy costume
- Angel costume
- A princess costume.
Occasion 2: Ballet slippers on your wedding day
Ballet slippers are perfectly acceptable as bridal footwear. As an added bonus, unlike heels, ballet slippers are very comfortable for this exciting but long day spent on one’s feet. If desired, the bridesmaids and flower girls can also wear ballet slippers to harmonize with your theme – and they will also be sure to appreciate the comfort!
Ballerina slippers for a wedding are a creative and beautiful solution to the problem of how to have beautiful footwear yet still be comfortable.
Occasion 3: Ballet slippers worn around the house
If you are looking for an alternative to wearing ordinary slippers around the house, ballet slippers are perfect! They are made of breathable material and have a supple, comfortable sole. It’s a great way to add a touch of ballet to your day!
If you're not into pink or not a super girly-girl but the idea of ballet house slippers still appeal to you, you may prefer black ballerina slippers. These also have the added bonus of matching with whatever clothing you're wearing. Black too bold of a choice for you? Then go for white ballet slippers!
If you're wearing sleeveless gear with it...
All too often I realize at the last minute that I plan on wearing something sleeveless and realize that I need a better hair removal method for my armpit hair than shaving. If you're in the same predicament, I recommend waxing - here is our complete at-home waxing guide for all body parts. Alternatively, you can try epilating, which is where you use a handheld device that looks like an electric razor but actually mechanically plucks out the hair from the roots. Be warned it is more uncomfortable on the underarms than waxing. I use and recommend the Braun Silk-epil 9, but it's a lot better for leg hair and forearm hair because you won't experience discomfort epilating those areas.
