Skorts: How to Wear the Shorts-Under-a-Skirt Trend Off the Court
Skorts: How to Wear the Shorts-Under-a-Skirt Trend Off the Court
A skort is a skirt with a pair of shorts built in, so it looks like a mini skirt and moves like shorts. It started on tennis and golf courses and is now a fashion piece. Alexander Wang makes some of the most wearable versions, from boxer-waist minis to tailored wool and front-zip denim. Shop mini skirts at Luxury Handbags and browse Alexander Wang at Luxury Shoes .
Mini skorts
The mini is the classic. Alexander Wang’s mid-rise mini boxer skort shows a striped boxer waistband over the top, in white, light blue stripe and black.
Tailored skorts
A pleated wool skort with a pinstripe and a tropical wool finish looks like a smart mini skirt and works for the office with a knit and loafers.
Denim skorts
Front-zip denim skorts, mini and midi, are the casual option. Pair them with a fitted tee and platform slides.
How to wear a skort
- Keep the top fitted and tucked so the waist shows.
- Add a kitten heel and slingback for town.
- Choose a midi skort if you want more coverage.

Skort outfits for every occasion
- Office: a pleated wool skort, a fine knit, opaque tights and loafers.
- Weekend: a denim skort, a fitted tee and platform slides.
- Night out: a crystal mini skort, a bodysuit and a high mule.
- Travel: a cotton boxer skort, an oversized shirt and sneakers.
- Golf and tennis: a technical skort with a polo; fashion skorts are better kept off the course.
Skorts by body shape
An A-line and pleated skort flatters most figures because it skims the thigh. Petite frames suit a mini length with a low heel; taller frames can wear a midi skort with a flat. If you want to hide the shorts completely, choose a wrap-front and pleated panel.
How to care for a skort
Treat it like the fabric it is made of: cotton boxer styles wash cold and line dry, wool skorts go to the dry cleaner, and anything with crystal is washed inside out and never ironed over the stones.
