Growing up as an aspiring fashion girl who wore a school uniform every day, I believed that practicality was a bane to personal style. Moreover, if you told me I’d be writing an article about skorts, I would’ve laughed out loud (for context, the skirt and short hybrid piece was part of my less-than-stylish uniform). Now, as a 25-year-old with the freedom to wear what I want, feeling comfortable is an essential part of my wardrobe, and—with some celebrity style inspiration—I’m embracing the versatility of the Y2K-loved skort. 

Last summer, Taylor Swift led the skort charge by donning the bottoms everywhere, from opting for a Free People denim skort in the streets of New York City to the viral Popflex skort on the Pickleball court. Emma Stone followed suit with an elevated take on the trend. With summer 2025 right around the corner, I predict the skort resurgence to stick around, so I’ve rounded up a few of the styles I’m eyeing right now, starting at $15.

Madewell Denim Micro Mini Wrap Skort

A classic denim skirt is a spring and summer wardrobe staple, but to be honest, it’s not always the most comfortable option. Enter the denim mini skort, which balances the chic throwback look of a denim skirt with the comfort and coverage of shorts. This find from Madewell is reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s covetable denim wrap-front skort, and it comes in a medium wash that seamlessly transitions from day to night. Suffice to say, it’s already in my shopping cart. 

Spanx Smooth Onform Skort

No hot girl walk is complete without a versatile tennis skirt, and this stretchy, smoothing skort from Spanx can take you from your 12-3-30 workouts to a casual brunch with friends. While you can never go wrong with classic black, I’m eyeing the skort’s spring-ready shades, including the petunia pink and fennel, to add a fresh pop of color to my wardrobe. I might have to pick up the coordinating sports bra to complete the “HGW” look, too.

J.Crew Sailor Stretch Linen Blend Skort

Growing up on the East Coast, I’m no stranger to nautical flair, and considering fisherman core is trending, it might be time to revisit my middle school aesthetic—with an elevated twist. This sailor-inspired skort from J.Crew features two rows of sleek, gold crest buttons, set on a lightweight, linen-blend material in a flattering A-line silhouette that’s perfect for summertime. Even better? The skirt is part of J.Crew’s spring sale, so you can snag it for 40 percent off right now.
