Whether your summer plans involve a daycation, staycation or vacation, the most versatile and wearable foundation for any activity are shorts and skorts. A skort? Part skirt, mostly short, it’s a flattering fundamental that travels well and pairs with anything from a t-shirt to a blouse. Best of all, it’s ideal for entertaining on at the cottage, in the backyard or even on a downtown patio.

 

The Skort, is a summer style hybrid that keeps you cool in the heat of summer! Spanner's Skort With Pocket in paisley print gets super casual with a silver accented tee.  

What do I look for?

 

The short made chic! The Pull On Tummy Control Short With Pockets from Spanner in elegant neutrals like this one in navy has a sophisticated and timeless feel to a Canadian summer.

 

If you love shorts but your legs are not as firm as they once were, a classic Bermuda short can transition from casual to formal just by adding a flowy top and a pair of low-heeled sandals. With an inseam of around 11 inches, they’re a great but cool choice for leg coverage.

Just as wearable is a medium length short with a 5 to 10 inches inseam. When going a bit shorter, consider a looser style that looks gives of a summer skirt vibe.

 

Skorts:

 

The Sporty Side Of Skorts... Golfers like Lori enjoy the freedom of movement that a skort provides! It's at home with a sneaker style, or sandal.

Speaking of skirts…skorts are a great neither-one-thing-nor-the-other option. Skorts first made an appearance in sports like golf and tennis, but have since hit the mainstream like a tsunami. These days, skorts appear everywhere from hiking and biking trails to beaches and backyard barbecues.

 

Skorts are very wearable for almost any body type, as they come in a variety of lengths and colours. Choose a structured fabric like poplin or a cotton-Lycra blend, which will maintain its shape but offers a bit of give. Printed skorts add a pop of summer colour, too. Best of all, most skorts are pull-on (no zippers!), streamlined and even feature flat inside pockets.

 

Whatever you choose, make sure you’ve got a variety of tops to pair them with because this summer, you’ll be living in a skort!
