Skorts for Women

Skorts for women that deliver the look of a skirt with the coverage and confidence of built-in shorts. Every skort in our collection features an A-line outer layer and a compression inner short that stays in place through lunges, serves, and full sprints. Made with lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that dries fast and moves freely.

Why Skorts Work for Everything

The skort is the most versatile bottom in women's activewear. Tennis, pickleball, golf, hiking, running errands -- the A-line silhouette looks polished enough for any setting while the built-in shorts give you full freedom of movement. The high-waisted fit keeps the waistband secure and the pockets are deep enough for a phone, keys, or a couple of tennis balls.

Common Questions About Skorts

What is the difference between a skort and a tennis skirt? A skort has a longer, more fitted compression short underneath. A tennis skirt has a shorter, lighter inner layer for more airflow. Both have the same outer A-line look.

Can I play golf in these? Yes. The modest hem length and clean design meets dress codes at most courses while giving you full rotation for your swing.

Do the inner shorts ride up? No. The compression fit and silicone grip hem keep the inner shorts locked in place during all activities.

Why Athletes Are Choosing Skorts Over Shorts

The skort has earned its place as one of the most versatile pieces in women's activewear. By combining a skirt overlay with built-in compression shorts, skorts solve the problem that traditional gym shorts cannot: full range of motion with zero worry about coverage. Whether you are sprinting across a tennis court, teeing off on the back nine, or powering through a trail run, the inner shorts stay put while the outer skirt moves freely with every stride.

This dual-layer design also creates a more polished look compared to standard athletic shorts, which makes skorts a favorite for women who go straight from their workout to the rest of their day. No outfit change needed.
