There’s an old saying that if you live long enough, you’ll watch your favorite trends transition in and out of popularity. Right now, we’re experiencing major nostalgia with the reemergence of skorts. Yes, that’s right — skorts. Some of our favorite brands have recently released stylish options that look luxurious and have slimming silhouettes.
2025’s take on skorts is a tad different from the styles of yesteryear and goes way beyond the sporty styles you wear while on the go. Brands like Abercrombie & Fitch have skorts that look like little black dresses, while Banana Republic Factory created linen-blend styles that are a hit for the office. Of course, our favorite money-saving retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target have all jumped on the trend, too, making it possible to embrace the throwback trend for as low as $4.
Ready to give the shorts-meets-skirt look another go? Take a look at the styles ahead, all of which are sleek, slimming and work for those 40 and up!
