What Is a Skort? 7 Skort Outfit Ideas for Women

If you love the look of a mini skirt but hate worrying about windy days, stairs and sitting on the floor, the skort is your new best friend. Here's what a skort is, why it's become a wardrobe staple, and seven easy ways to wear one.

What is a skort?

A skort is a skirt with built-in shorts underneath. From the front it looks like a skirt, often pleated or wrap-style, but it gives you the coverage and freedom of shorts. It's perfect for Indian summers, travel, college and busy days when you want to look cute without thinking twice.

Why every wardrobe needs one

  • Zero wardrobe malfunctions: climb stairs, ride a scooter, sit cross-legged.
  • Cool in the heat: far more comfortable than jeans in summer.
  • Dress up or down: works with tees, shirts, vests and knits.
