Zara's New Ballerina Leggings Are Very Fall 2016

Last month, we shared with you the legging trend no one saw coming (stirrups!), and now it seems that Zara is the latest retailer to get on board with the throwback style. But this pair has a decidedly fall 2016 feel, as it's in keeping with one of the season's biggest (and prettiest) trends—ballerina!
Zara was one of the first fast-fashion brands to pick up on the trend, and the retailer's ballet collection is a triumph. The special thing about the aforementioned stirrup leggings is that this particular pair is also ballet-inspired, as the stirrup part of the leggings is designed to resemble lace-up ballet shoes. Genius, right? We think so. We recommend fully embracing the trend when wearing these and pairing them with tulle and ballet flats, which are naturally all available at Zara.
