Happy Thursday! One of the biggest spring and summer trends I have seen at many of my favorite brands this year is a fun sports-inspired skort. The tennis and golf-inspired skort in a variety of lengths, fabrics, prints and colors is perfect for the warmer months, it’s a playful bottom because you have all the comfort and ease of shorts. A perfect sporty spring outfit!
Today, Kelly shares a sporty look for spring and summer

Truth be told, I have never had a skort in my closet before. Maybe I felt they were too sporty for my personal taste, but then I saw this denim version from J.Crew and I thought, “why not?!” It's so cute! This style is unique because it has the skirt wrapping around the front, and the back is regular shorts. Most skort styles have the shorts completely hidden by the skirt.

This skort does not come in petite sizes, so I am wearing regular size 0. It comes in two washes, a lighter rinse like the one I am wearing, and darker rinse. Both rinses are selling out fast, but it does look like they will restock it.

The Denim Skort has a side zip and I love the gold button detail at the waist (though it’s nonfunctional). It has tiny back pockets that wont hold much of anything, but add a nice back detail.

I have worn this skirt a lot since I welcomed it to my summer wardrobe, styling it with linen tops like the Bungalow Popover and with a Dolman Top from Banana Republic Factory. Think of the Denim Skort like an elevated pair of denim shorts that you can style with anything!
Today, I went for a sporty spring outfit with a Polo Sweater and Gola Coaster Sneakers. This Crossbody Bag in Woven Leather is from Madewell, its muted green color is a great summer neutral.

Think of the Denim Skort like you would denim shorts, style the skort with tees, tanks for a casual look, and blouses for a slightly more elevated look.

What’s old is new again! I have a light denim skort that is at least 20 years old. At that time, skorts revealed the origin of the word: skirt in front and shorts in the back. The front skirt is a ‘wrap’ of material over the shorts, so if the wind picked up, you’d see the shorts in the front too. Mine is a little longer than yours. Very cute look!
It’s funny how everything comes back around in fashion, Maeve! Thanks for stopping by today! xo Kelly
