Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skort, and how is it different from regular shorts?  
A skort is a hybrid garment that looks like a skirt from the front but includes built-in shorts underneath for added coverage and security. While our Women’s Flowy Wide Leg Shorts are not traditional skorts, they don’t have a front flap, they are often searched for using terms like “skort” or “skorts for women” due to their modest, skirt-like silhouette. The wide leg and flowy hemline create the illusion of a short skirt while offering the comfort and freedom of shorts.

Can these be worn as a black skort or white skort alternative?  
Yes. Though technically wide-leg shorts, their elegant drape and swing hem make them a stylish substitute for a black skort or white skort in casual or semi-dressy settings. Many customers choose darker or neutral colors for a polished look that pairs well with tunics, blouses, or crop tops, ideal for skirt outfits that require modesty and movement.

Are these considered short skirts or actual shorts?  
These are true shorts, specifically, flowy wide leg shorts, but their design mimics the aesthetic of a flowy skirt or skater skirt. Unlike tight or athletic shorts, they offer a loose, breezy silhouette that moves gracefully, making them perfect for warm-weather wear without sacrificing coverage.

Do these function like tennis skorts or skorts for women in sports?  
While not designed with performance fabric for high-intensity activity, they’re suitable for light movement such as walking, shopping, or casual play. For tennis or running, a dedicated tennis skorts with moisture-wicking material and tighter built-in shorts would be more appropriate. However, for everyday wear where style and modesty matter, these offer the best of both worlds.

Are they appropriate for work or professional settings?  
In business-casual or creative workplaces, yes, especially in solid colors like black or navy. Paired with a tailored top or lightweight blouse, these shorts present a refined, modern look that respects modesty while embracing comfort. Always check your workplace dress code, but many customers successfully wear them to offices, schools, and client meetings.

Do you offer these in plus sizes?  
Absolutely. Available in sizes Small to 5XL, these shorts are designed as inclusive plus size options that flatter every body type. The stretch fabric and wide leg cut skim the hips and thighs without clinging, making them a confident choice for women of all shapes.

How should I care for my flowy shorts?  
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low. For best results, lay flat to dry to preserve the fabric’s drape and softness. The rayon-spandex blend resists shrinking and fading, so your black mini skort-style shorts or white skort alternatives stay vibrant and smooth over time.

Can I wear these as part of a coordinated skirt outfit?  
Yes. Their versatile silhouette pairs beautifully with tanks, tees, button-downs, or even dressy camisoles. Add sandals for summer, loafers for brunch, or heels for evening, and you have a complete skirt outfit without the limitations of an actual skirt. Many customers use them as a practical alternative to short skirts when they want freedom of movement.

Why do customers say these feel like skirts but function like shorts?  
Because of the wide leg and soft, swingy hemline that flows like a skater skirt or flowy skirt. Yet, since they’re fully constructed as shorts with no hidden layers, they eliminate the worry of wind or movement exposure, offering peace of mind that traditional skirts or even some skorts can’t provide.

Are the pockets functional?  
Yes. The side seam pockets are deep enough to securely hold a smartphone, keys, or cards, making them genuinely practical for travel, errands, or daily wear. This feature sets them apart from many fashion shorts or skorts that offer only decorative pockets.
