No! I said "Skorts", not "Skirts"!

Friday 25 April 2014

So, what are Skorts anyway?  It is a garment that was originally designed for female golfers in the 60's as a way to give them more freedom to move, while at the same time, preserving the soft white lines of a skirt.

It was a fashion trend that peaked in the 90's, and in like manner, departed in the 90's just as fast!  The idea of a "skirt" combined with "shorts" did not catch on as the inventor had hoped, because oddly enough, wearing shorts with a fabric panel resembling a skirt is no different than wearing a pair of "culottes", or a "scooter" or even a "skant"...as they are all alike in concept. 

Some may refer to "skorts" as "a skirt with a pair of shorts hidden underneath", while others refer to them as "a pair of shorts with a layer of fabric in the front, made to look like a skirt".  Either way, the history of the "skort" was unmemorable and short lived.  Several attempts over the last couple decades have been made to try and revive this dying trend, but it's been to no avail.

Well the dawning of a new day has arrived, and the "skort" has reared its two-faces once again, and women everywhere are embracing the trend! Fashionistas and celebrities are also embracing this trend. The freedom and comfort that the "skort" provides makes it a great choice for women everywhere.  The female tennis player, golfer, gardener, cheerleader, trendsetter, and even the swimsuit model share a special affinity for the "skort."

Besaz Boutique has incorporated this trend into their online fashion selection on its website, and has made several different "skort" styles available for purchase.  One of the surprisingly popular styles being worn today is the "ZARA Skort".  This is the hot item for the moment, and many of the celebrities have fashioned this item to fit their own taste and style.
So no matter what you think about the "skort", it has officially made it's way back into fashion's good graces...and it looks like it just might be here for a while!
