It’s mini skirt season, and while most of us love putting on our favorite micro skirt or wrapped style, there are pros and cons to the silhouette. From accidental flashing while exiting the car to getting caught in an updraft, a lot of potential pitfalls can happen. While tights and bike shorts are helpful for security, summer heat waves are a time when you usually don’t want extra layers. Fortunately, skorts combine the style of skirts with the comfort of shorts, making it the best of both worlds. The front typically has a flat panel to create the appearance of a skirt, while the built-in shorts keep us secure.

Skorts are currently having a revival, thanks to Y2K fashion trends and the return of tennis skirts to the style forefront. Whether you’re hitting the court, going dancing, or headed to brunch, check out eight skort outfits to try ahead, showing the possibilities are limitless with this practical silhouette.
