What Is a Skort?
A skort is a combination of a skirt and shorts, from the front you will see it as a skirt, but underneath it has all of the practicalities of wearing shorts.
Used a lot of the time by sportswomen, for activities such as golf or tennis, athletic skorts are now being used more in fashion too! For sports, they tend to be shorter, but you can get long skorts, which tend to fall around knee-length, making them a conservative but wearable option for a range of occasions.
Skort outfits are comfortable to wear and can prevent chafing when spending a long time walking, hiking or sight-seeing. Team with a simple t-shirt and flats for a perfect daytime look!
We compiled a list of the best products to prevent chaffing thighs!
How to Pack Skorts
One way to organize those adorable skorts amazon sells (or anywhere else you buy them) is by using packing cubes. The Compass Rose packing cubes have a numbering and color system so it’s easy to identify where everything is! The video below demonstrates this.
Learn our hacks with packing cubes in this video!
We also put together a five-part YouTube series showing the different methods to use packing cubes for travel. If you use this specific packing strategy, packing cubes can also compress your belongings. This is the secret to traveling carry-on only!

Skorts are a staple of my wardrobe. I agree with so of the other posters that these look rather short for me. I am careful when purchasing to look for the length of the skort and usually get 17 inches in length. Chicos, Lilly Pulitzer, Eddie Bauer, EP and Cutter and Buck are some of my go-tos.
Hi Janet, thank you for sharing where you purchase your skorts from!! 😃
Is one of them the peach one from the stock photo at the top of the article?
Hi Jessalynn, I am afraid that since it is a stock image we are not sure what the brand is.
I have had a look and this one is slightly similar (Amazon #CommissionsEarned): https://amzn.to/3cgLtez There are also more options here (Amazon #CommissionsEarned): https://amzn.to/3kXi9Of
Sorry I could not have been of more help.
