Definition
There are integrated shorts under a skirt-like front or layer of fabric that is visible all around. Skorts are used for sports, leisure, travel and increasingly in well-groomed looks.
In simple words
The cut offers more coverage when moving, sitting or in the wind than a classic mini skirt. From the front it can look like a wrap skirt, from the back like shorts or similar to a skirt. Fabric, length and waistband determine whether the effect is sporty or elegant.
What to pay attention to
- Check whether the inner shorts are long enough and do not ride up.
- Make sure the front overlap remains closed when sitting.
- Test pockets and waistband as extra layers can add bulk quickly.
Common misconceptions
A skort is not a skirt under which cycling shorts are worn separately. The shorts are part of the construction.
ESKYNA mnemonic
The skort looks like a skirt and thinks like a pair of shorts - form and function meet in one piece.
