Irresistibly Fun Barbie-inspired Outfits to Wear to Barre Class

It’s a Barbie™ world, and we’re just living in it. You would have to be living under a rock to not see the onslaught of hype and promotion around the new Greta Gerwig-directed movie Barbie which will inevitably be a summer blockbuster. There’s an explosion of excitement around the film, and the enthusiasm has spilled into all facets of pop culture, including fashion. Undoubtedly that means it’s infiltrating fitness fashion as well.

While Margot Robbie has fully leaned into replicating some iconic Barbie looks for the movie’s world press tour, this list is less cosplay and more of a curated collection of inspired looks, mostly in various shades of pink.

Pink and Barbie are so synonymous that it’s hard to walk down the aisles of a toy store without immediately recognizing the Barbie pink section. That doesn’t mean, however that we have to stay in the pink lane; there are many styles that Barbie wore that can be used as inspiration for your fitness wardrobe.

 

Blush Pink

Ah, blush pink, so soft and pretty. Somewhere in the middle of ballerina and bubblegum pink, we have this warm tone that pairs well with just about any other colour.
