Why it works
Fabric & construction details

We chose a cotton-polyester blend for this skort because it balances softness against wear. The cotton fibers let air through on warm days, while the polyester keeps the fabric from losing its shape in the dryer. Flat-felled seams along the inner short lining prevent chafing during extended wear.

Sizing & fit notes

This skort runs true to standard St. John’s Bay sizing. The elastic waistband stretches approximately 2 inches beyond the stated waist measurement, and the interior drawcord lets you fine-tune the fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.

The 18-inch outseam falls mid-thigh on most women between 5’3″ and 5’8″. Taller wearers may find it hits slightly higher, while petite frames will see a longer line. The inner short inseam measures 6 inches, offering coverage without riding up. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low to maintain the original fit.

Styling & pairing options

Everyday casual

Pair this skort with a tucked-in tee and sneakers for errands or light activity. The neutral tones—navy, khaki, and black—match easily with prints and solids. Roll the waistband once for a slightly shorter silhouette, or wear it as designed for a classic line.

Active days

The inner short lining and moisture-wicking properties make this piece a natural choice for walking, biking, or outdoor markets. Throw on a moisture-wicking tank and slip-on sandals, and you’re set for hours of comfortable movement. Women who reach for our Bermuda shorts in summer often prefer this skort when they want the same ease with a bit more coverage.

Finally, a skort that fits right
I've tried other brands and the inner shorts always bunch up. This one stays in place all day, even on long walks. The pockets are deep enough for my phone and keys, which is a huge plus.

Perfect for summer weekends
I bought two colors because they're so comfortable. The fabric is soft but doesn't wrinkle in my bag. I wore it to the zoo last weekend and stayed cool the entire time.

Great quality for the price
The stitching is solid and the waistband doesn't roll. I took off one star because I wish it came in more prints, but the classic colors are still easy to style.

Holds up wash after wash
I've washed mine at least ten times and it still looks new. No fading, no pilling. I'm impressed with how well it's made for the price point.

Love the pockets
I can fit my entire wallet in the back pocket and it doesn't sag. The front pockets are perfect for my sunglasses. This is my go-to piece for running errands now.
