The last few years have seen a resurgence in nostalgic trends from the '90s and early aughts, and while there are some that might seem questionable, one that's we're ready to embrace with open arms (and shopping carts) is the skort. A perfect fusion of a pair of shorts and a skirt, skorts provide all the utility of a pair of cut-offs while still giving off feminine vibes. The mashup makes them ideal for taking your warm-weather looks to the next level while also making them functional enough for whatever summertime spontaneity may have in store.
