A skort is a hybrid garment that combines a skirt and shorts. It has a skirt panel at the front (and sometimes the sides) with a shorts panel at the back. From the front it looks like a skirt; from the back and in movement, it functions like shorts. It's a popular option for tennis, golf, and active wear. 

A skort typically has a separate front skirt panel layered over shorts, creating distinct skirt styling at the front. A skirt with built-in shorts has a full skirt overlay with shorts integrated underneath. In practice, both provide similar coverage, but a skort typically looks more like a standalone shorts garment from the back. 

Yes. Skorts are a traditional choice for tennis and are widely accepted on the court. They provide the coverage and mobility needed for court sport while maintaining a polished, traditional athletic look. 

Absolutely. Skorts are a practical, stylish, and age-appropriate choice for active women. A midi-length skort provides comfortable coverage for both exercise and casual wear. 

Yes. Halara's skorts use stretch, breathable fabric with a comfortable waistband that stays secure without restricting movement. They work well for both sport and casual everyday use. 

Many skort styles include pockets. Check individual product listings for pocket details by style. 

A skort is a hybrid garment combining a skirt front panel with built-in shorts behind, creating a look that appears to be a skirt from the front while providing full coverage from all angles. The word comes from combining "skirt" and "shorts." Halara's skorts use this construction in moisture-wicking stretch fabric, making them particularly popular for tennis, golf, pickleball, and other active settings where coverage during movement matters. 

Quality skorts should have a genuine skirt panel (not just a skirt overlay), built-in shorts that are long enough to provide real coverage, secure non-rolling waistband, and performance fabric suited to activity. Halara's skorts are designed specifically for active use with sweat-wicking, four-way stretch construction. For more general comparisons, look for brands known for tennis and golf apparel, as these categories have the most developed skort ranges. 

Skorts were historically also called "skirted shorts" or "divided skirts." In some markets they are referred to as "sport skirts" when designed for active use. The term skort itself became the standard common name and is now widely recognized across fashion and sportswear markets.
