Women’s Skorts: The Elegance of a Skirt with the Comfort of Shorts
A women’s skort combines the feminine appearance of a skirt with the comfort and freedom of movement of shorts. Easy to wear, it makes it possible to create casual outfits as well as more dressed-up looks. Short, high-waisted, fluid, pleated, wrap or structured skorts: each style brings a different look while retaining the practicality that defines this piece.
This selection brings together skorts to wear every day, during holidays, for an outing or a more formal occasion. Paired with a T-shirt, top, blouse or shirt, the skort easily adapts to the desired style simply by changing your shoes and accessories.
How to choose and wear a skort?
Choosing a skort mainly depends on the cut, the occasion and the desired style.
- The high-waisted skort helps define the silhouette and accentuate the waist. It pairs easily with a fitted top, bodysuit or slightly tucked-in shirt.
- The fluid skort offers greater movement and a lightweight look. With a tank top and sandals in summer or a blouse and dressier shoes, it works just as well for casual days as for outings.
- The wrap skort recreates the crossover effect of a skirt while retaining the comfort of shorts. It is easy to wear with a plain T-shirt, fluid blouse or close-fitting top.
- The pleated skort adds more volume and movement to an outfit. To balance the silhouette, choose a more fitted top or one that is slightly tucked in at the waist.
- The structured skort allows you to create more dressed-up looks. Paired with a shirt, blazer and loafers or ankle boots, it offers a modern alternative to a classic skirt.
For an easy-to-coordinate wardrobe, choose a few styles in timeless colors such as black, beige, ecru, denim or khaki, then add prints or bolder colors to vary your looks.
