Grocery run? Padel date? Night out? There’s a skort for that

A denim skort says, “I still know the lyrics to Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’.” Bonus points for low-rise fits or asymmetrical hems, like on this H&M piece.

This hand-block-printed cotton piece is a fantastic mashup of prints. An overlay of boxer-like stripes allows just a peek of the more surprising yet traditional block-printed pattern below.

Pinstripes mean business. You can wear this to the office (if yours still exists) or a rooftop wine bar, or pair it with the matching backless blazer to trick people into thinking you’re really sorted.

This high-waist skort has more than one thing going for itself. Replete with cutwork embroidery details, it also has a cute front knot detail and would look great if you have plans of being on a yacht this summer.

Lightweight, breezy, and the colour of a raspberry sorbet. This skort is ideal for days when you want to look put together without trying.

Pickle, padel, or even golf, whatever sport you choose, take your game up a notch with this gym-kit essential. Made using Adidas’s fast-drying, stretchy Climacool material, it’s great for those plans that involve a workout with friends.

The athletic skort isn’t new, but it’s evolved. This one has moisture-wicking fabric and an inner short that holds your phone (you’re welcome). Perfect to wear for the run club that’s also a date, or while speedwalking towards an iced matcha.

Sleek and sculpted with a polished A-line silhouette, this skort paired with an oversized crewneck would make anyone look like a racquet club heiress. It also has pockets!

This is a slinky little knit number disguised as a skirt. Soft, stretchy, and featuring a trompe l’oeil pocket, this skort may be wildly inappropriate for pickleball but perfect for brunch.

This one’s a main character. Sculptural taffeta, exaggerated volume, and a puffed-up silhouette that might fetch you compliments and start conversations.
