Shorts vs. Skorts: What's the Difference?
Shorts and skorts are popular summer staples, Cotton On has both styles covered this season! From terry fleece beach shorts, surf boardshorts to tailored linen shorts a summer essential from our Haven linen blend collection. And then there's skorts, combining the appearance of a skirt with the functionality of shorts. From the front, they look like a skirt, giving a feminine and flowy vibe, but they have hidden shorts underneath for added comfort and mobility.

Skorts bring a playful twist to your wardrobe, blending practicality with chic aesthetics.
