When the temperature rises, so do the hemlines. But some of us prefer a more modest style, which is why knee-length skorts are the perfect summer staple.

While shorts are the go-to bottoms during the scorcher season or weather, a pair of knee-length skorts offers that chic and casual vibe with all the comfort you need. Known for its versatility and mobility, skorts can be paired with just about any top while providing that extra layer of cover for protection.

What are Knee-Length Skorts?

Knee-length skorts score the golden combination of shorts and skirt for that flattering feel of a skirt with the safety of shorts underneath it. Although they are usually donned by tennis and golf players and athletic enthusiasts, they can also be a part of your regular wardrobe for casual Fridays, a day date, and even as office attire, to name a few.

What is there not to love about this bottom? Whether it’s an A-line or a pencil-cut silhouette, a skort radiates that feminine athleisure allure with that added protection of shorts underneath it to help anyone move as freely as a bird.

Why Choose Knee-Length Skorts?

With a pair of knee-length athletic skorts, you can walk and run as fast as you want to, sit in whatever position is comfortable for you, jump, skip, and dash, and be worry-free of anyone not seeing what’s not supposed to be seen.

2. Versatility in Outfit Pairings

The beauty about skirts in general is that they can be paired with just about any top to match any occasion or place you’re going to. The same goes for women’s knee-length skorts.

Heading to a girl’s night out? Easily pair this Laureate UPF50+ Knee-Length Skort with a shimmering flirty top, some bling, or a pair of hoop earrings, and you’re ready to paint the town red or dance the night away. No one will ever know that you’re wearing a skort.

3. Breathability and Airiness

In the same way that wearing a skirt assures consistent airflow to allow our skin to breathe, knee-length skorts for women provide the breathability and airiness we need to stay sweat-free.

Because knee-length athletic skorts were made primarily for sports and other athletic activities, the fabric usually has moisture-wicking properties. This means that it allows sweat to evaporate easily. As such, you won’t feel sticky even when humidity arises. Moreover, the flatlock seams that knee-length skorts are known for ensure no chafing. So hello to staying fresh while looking fab.

4. Mobility and Active Lifestyle

Even if you’re not an athlete or don’t play any sport, we all want to wear clothing that allows greater mobility so that we can easily do the activities we need to do. Whether we’re running an errand or simply hanging out somewhere, wearing knee-length skorts lets us accomplish our goals easily.

Made from fabric that allows greater mobility, women’s knee-length skorts easily let us swing a racket or a club, run, do cartwheels, and kick, to name a few. Because of its built-in lining, there’s better coverage, so nothing goes up.

If you live an active lifestyle, even if you’re not physically active, having a pair of these awesome skorts lets you stay on top of your game.

5. Flattering Silhouette for All Body Types

The trump card of knee-length skorts is that it gives a flattering silhouette for all body types. Whatever body shape you have, there’s a skort for you. Most are designed with an elastic and wide waistband and inner drawstring to easily hug and cover the waistline to achieve that coveted curve.

6. Variety of Designs and Styles

Variety is the spice of life, and Baleaf’s knee-length skorts for women come in several designs and styles to fit any fashion taste. So if you’re on the more athletic side, such as playing tennis or golf, cheerleading, running, cycling, boating, or hiking, to name a few, we have the perfect knee-length athletic skort for you.
