7 Skort Outfit Ideas For All Of Your End-Of-Summer Plans
It’s time to get those last summer ‘fits off.
The last few weeks of summer are quickly approaching, which means it’s time to get in the rest of your warm-weather plans now. While you may be wondering what to do, the real burning question is what should you wear? If you’ve been dying to get off a trendy summer outfit, then a skort is the piece you need.
Skorts have been all the rage this summer. In 2020, we really saw the short-skirt combo make its way back into the limelight, due to the ultra popular tennis skirt trend. Now that tenniscore here to stay, along with the realization of how convenient it is to wear a skort, they’re back and better than ever. All summer long, skorts have become the happy medium between being comfortable and stylish in a mini skirt.
While we all remember the days of grade-school uniforms, the new skorts of today have been reimagined for literally any occasion, making them the perfect summer staple. Plus, with fall right around the corner, they’re an even better transitional piece that you can rock for a cool Gossip Girl moment while heading back to class or the office — it’s a win-win.
If you’re ready to finish out the summer strong, we gathered seven skorts, plus a variety of tops to match, to create the ultimate “It” girl skort outfit, no matter your plans.
