This does not apply to dresses or dressier skirts, just FYI.

Ok…I’m ready for my flaming…

I agree. But I go the other way, why not just wear a skirt. Every time I shop for a tennis or golf skirt they only have skorts.

Shorts are very unflattering on me AND ride up into my crotch unless they are tight bike shorts which I’m just not comfortable wearing in public.

Skirts I need to wear shorts under anyway for chub rub reasons.

You don’t have to understand.

Big fan of their skorts and also lululemon now has extended sizes in skorts.

I'm 5'4, fairly slim (size 2), straight/rectangular shape, and the ones I've tried (Athleta, Eddie Bauer) somehow make me look like a wide log -I feel like the length is always wrong. For walks in the summer, I just wear shorts even though I guess I'm too old (nearly 50).

same, I'm 5'2, slim and skorts look terrible on me
