If you can’t spend your summer in the Mediterranean under actual lemon trees, this skirt is a solid backup. Plus, it gives us serious Beyoncé “Lemonade” vibes, which will help you feel more fierce and less sweaty-mess in class (hopefully).

This lightweight knit might look like your classic wrap skirt, but RubiaWear creator (and Boston Ballet principal) Ashley Ellis designed it with an elastic waist for comfort and ease. The ruffled ends and sheer color options, like Flower Bomb’s soft coral, give the skirt a classic ballerina look with a modern twist.

We recently noticed that pros like American Ballet Theatre’s Isabella Boylston and Boston Ballet’s Misa Kuranaga are bringing longer skirts back into style. This watercolor option from Just For Kix gives you the flowy length at the back with a slightly shorter front if you want to ease your way into the longer look.

This cute dotted skirt has New York City Ballet principal Tiler Peck’s seal of approval (she did design it, after all), and that’s reason enough for us to wear it. Now if only it could help us turn like Tiler.
