Fashion: the skort

Despite the million and one lunges I do day in, day out, my legs are still by far my worst feature! 'They're not that bad' people (including my husband) will say...but let me tell you, they're not that good either!

Shorts therefore are not my 'go to' item of clothing. That all changed however when some cleaver cleaver designer decided to bring out something called the 'skort'. A cross between a skirt and a short. Basically a pair of shorts with a skirt type flap at the front. Genius! They basically make a pair of shorts way more wearable and flattering.

Mine are black and from Zara last winter, but this summer sees everyone jumping on the bandwagon and bringing out their own version.

Wear them with a loose top (whether it's a vest, cami or tee) tucked in, flats or wedges for the day and shoe-boot sandals by night.

Grab a pair next time you head to the changing room and see for yourself. A very wearable look indeed…
