Skorts are still in fashion. Here’s how to cheat the mini skirt trend with these super cute skorts outfits for women
Are skorts in style? Yes, skorts are very much still in fashion and I’ve rounded up the best skorts for women here! Skorts like a lot of other 90’s trends are back in fashion and the best skorts look like minis but are way more practical. I’m all about the mini skirt and slingback heels trends this year but am loving cute women’s skorts, dressy skorts and rompers even more. Skorts make it even easier to make it look like you’re wearing the shortest mini without worrying about flashing! Plus they’re easier to move, sit and get in and out of the car in. Whether it’s a colorful or black skort outfit, casual or dressy style, these are the best skorts for women. As well as everything you need to know about the Skort trend or just jump straight to shop the trend.

Are skorts still in fashion this year
Skorts are still in style this year. Especially satin styles, cargo skorts that look like mini skirts and denim styles. Although midi skorts have been popping up on the runways and fashion set at Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter.
What are skorts?
Womens skorts are basically just a pair of shorts with a layer of material over the top to make them look like a skirt. They’re normally always available in sports stores for tennis and golf, etc. However, the more tailored, dressier versions come in and out of fashion.
What is the point of skorts?
Sporty styles like Lulu Lemon skorts are always around in the atheltics world for sports like tennis and golf but the more tailored types tend to come in and out of fashion. I’m hoping the trend sticks around for a while this time as they’re so practical and leg lengthening. Plus I live in one of the windiest cities in the world and like to keep my modesty in tact.
Skorts were developed to provide more freedom to do activities (such as sports, gardening, cleaning, or bike riding), and give the appearance of a skirt.

Why are skorts better than skirts or shorts?
I wouldn’t necessarily say they’re are better than mini skirts or shorts and they’re all in fashion but the best skorts this year do have some major benefits. They also tend to look dressier and more feminine than shorts if you go for dress skorts not the athletic kind.
I got a lot of wear out of my black skort in Europe this Summer as they were so much more practical than skirts to get on and off of buses, trams, cars and walk around in.
5 reasons to give the skorts trend a go
Here’s why skorts are so popular and to give them a go:
- They’re easier to sit in than skirts.
- You don’t have to worry about them blowing up on windy days.
- They make getting in and out of the car easier.
- If you want to go from a game of golf to cocktails, they’re easy to dress up if you go for a less sporty material.
- You can wear a shorter hemline while keeping everything covered.
This black skort is the best black skort for women that I could find for price, quality, fit and being on trend. It also comes in pink and the prettiest green satin. Which worn with a white button down shirt and gold necklace would be total Carrie Bradshaw vibes.
It’s one of those styles that’s easy to dress up or down in any of the colors as dressy skorts or more casual. I sized up so that it was slightly longer.
Are skorts in style right now?
Yes!!! Women’s skorts and mini skirts are both in fashion right now but I’ve been leaning more towards skorts for all of the reasons above. I have a super low car to get in and out of so cute skorts are my new best friend.

How to style skorts
To nail the skort trend, it doesn’t matter whether you wear yours with flats, gladiator sandals, pumps, strappy sandals, slingbacks or platforms. The beauty of women’s skorts is that they’re easy to dress up or down.
Wear them with a blouse with a bralette underneath or a satin cami with a blazer and pumps for work and simply take off the blouse and blazer for the evening.
I also love them with bodysuits and sneakers for the day or camis for a slightly dressier look. I’ve been wearing my black skort outfit with a gold chain belt or a gold Versace safety pin a lot to give it a more 90’s retro vibe and make it a little different.
In Winter look for warmer materials like the leather black skort below or style with tights and over the knee boots and a blazer.
