Barb_ Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have this one in black, from Costco. Ten bucks. It looks like a weird photoshop in this photo. It definitely looks better on. https://www.costco.com/Tranquility-by-Colorado-Clothing-Ladies%E2%80%99-Skort%2c-Black-Sunstone.product.100296659.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you have a BJs near you, they have some nice ones by Jones New York. They have pockets with zippers and are under 16 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I like that Costco skort! My favorite skorts are by Title IX. I like the types that are nylon blends and have one or more zippered pockets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other pics look fine, just that one is funny to me. So, does it fit true to size, in your experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a non-binding fit, if that makes sense. Its pretty true to size and forgiving in either direction. When I was running every day and dropped to 115 it fit, but lower on my waist. I'm ten pounds heavier now and it still fits comfortably. It's pretty stretchy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamonlyone Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Those look nice! I was thinking about the skorts from about 10 years ago that looked liked skirts in the front and shorts in the back. I clicked in curiosity because I haven't seen those in stores or being worn. Now I'm thinking maybe I have seen skorts around but didn't recognize them in the current version!

displace Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Jcpenney, in the workout section. They make different styles occasionally. Some casual, some that would be ok for work/other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Belk - workout type ones, but they're longer than most which I love. Con- colors aren't great. Black, grey, violent blue, electric orange, weird pattern. Sahalie.com - nice, dressier ones. I have the a-line ones in every color. They're perfect for traveling. The material is light, doesn't wrinkle, and looks great. They're also knee length. They are pricier, but I've worn theirs out and they're worth it. ETA - I love the transport skort in solids. I own every color and live in them. Edited April 19, 2017 by FriedClams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Awesome thread. I've been looking for a good skort for Disney but haven't liked any I've ordered. Will look into some of these suggestions. ETA: I ordered a Croft & Barrow skirt that is really cute, but it has loose shorts inside and I'm specifically looking for fitted shorts underneath. (If you happen to be a size 18, LOL, I have it listed on ebay, NWT. ;)) I think this brand is from Kohls. It is a flattering skirt, though (with handy cargo pockets on the side). I also ordered a few from Lee, I think, off Amazon. They were more of a sporty material (quick dry), but they had shorts underneath that were mesh. Great for ventilation, I suppose, but I didn't think they'd be good for copious amounts of walking at WDW (chub rub!). They were longer and less flattering than the Croft & Barrow skirt, but very comfy. Edited April 19, 2017 by alisoncooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have 4 from LL Bean that I love. The Fitness Skort (they have other colors and patterns) 5 pocket skort Runabout skort The fitness one is great for doing athletic-y things - I wear it to tennis. The other two are a little longer and look more like a regular skirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Oh man, Title Nine... FB has decided I'm interested in this brand; it pops up on my newsfeed daily, and everything is SO gorgeous! Unfortunately, it's also SO out of my price range! The joy of having Title Nine taste on a Walmart budget, LOL. (Not to mention T9 isn't plus-sized friendly.)

Carol in Cal. Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I've tried several, and I find them fairly uncomfortable. It seems like on me the combo of the skirt material and the shorts function bunch up against each other. My last investment was a running skort from Skirt Sports, because I kept thinking that even if I didn't want to wear this every day, it would be great for running and hiking. Not so much. I found it grossly uncomfortable/unwieldy and ended up giving it away. Now I hike in either shorts or a shortish skirt, and actually kind of prefer the skirt. I have a deep blue, kind of a dusty navy one, with a subtle elastic waist and a flared shape. I make sure to wear very dark underwear under it, but it's really pretty lacking in 'revelations' because of its shape and drape. I'm sure I look a little weird out there, as I don't know anyone else who does this, but what the heck, it's the most comfortable hiking bottom I own. I don't run anymore, but if I did, I would wear shorts for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchbark Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Someone on another thread recommended just getting a pair of slip shorts (I had never heard of them) to wear under short skirts. I think short skirts are cute for summer but I always cringe when watching someone sit down in them. Thanks for all the great links! I'm going to the Mall of America tomorrow and maybe I can see some of these in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Lands End in the school uniform section. I personally really like the 'stretch skort' and have two. They only come in navy and khaki, which is very annoying. But they wear like iron. I"ve had them for years and they still look brand new. I've worn them camping, hiking, etc and no pilling or stretching out of shape. They even seem to resist stains..but I wouldn't dump red wine on them lol. The only problem is that they only come in two colours. I would buy so many more if they came in different colours! Lands End makes some really cute shorts and, oh, how I wish they made skorts from the same fabrics with the same variety! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them in a wicking fabric. :laugh: I think I bought Jockey, they were from Target, about $12. Oh, and I got them for wearing under skirts. I wouldn't wear shorts under shorts. I also own a straight up slip that is shorts. I like it too, but it is better under dresses than skirts, the rise is REALLY long. I really wish slips would come back in style, I often see too much of people wearing knits without a slip. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
